Eurovision 1957 - Corry Brokken - Net als toen

[morbels]

Has she been auto-tuned? No, she's a singer.

[littletea11]

It's a shame i can't get in contact with her :( we're related >.> such a beautiful voice though :) glad to be related to such a woman.

[erthwerker]

What a beautiful voice and violin solo. Just enjoy. Wow !!! 

[GuSMagnus]

One of my all-time favourite songs from the ESC. She possesses such great charm and has a beautiful warm voice. She not only performs the song but also "makes" it. Truly a great artist. The arrangement is perfect, with a jazzy swing touch and the violin is absolutely wunderbar. A well-deserved winner! Thank you for making it possible for me and others to get the opportunity to listen to songs that were great and worth hearing which most of todays hash-dash "melodies" are not! Long live melody!!!

Alexander Rybak (2009) did a Sem Nijveen (3:00 and 4:10)...

[MysteryOfTheFence]

Lovely stuff... what happened to Eurovision that it became so crap in the 1980s?

[Cokeylata]

@MysteryOfTheFence ...Pretty sure the 1980's happened.

[xXxLumesUpInFumesxXx]

She's soooo pretty. Pretty song too.

[teicacarica]

very very nice!

[olafogola]

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever

[SuperSmilingSmiley]

@AjrimmerMr WHAT?! No she isn't, she studied Law and became a judge!

[helmuthoorn]

@AjrimmerMr

Excuse me?

She finished her singing career to study law and later became a judge.

[peterkyn]

Zo een mooi liedje, dat de tand des tijds weet te doorstaan. Zo een mooie tekst die me nu nog altijd raakt. Heel mooi.

[Maasdam1993]

She was the second winner on an Eurovision and the first of 4 winning Dutch songs.

[helmuthoorn]

Een onvervalst stuk jeugdsentiment

[GrobarSCG]

i dont know the words but it sounds beautifull!!!

[alexriveronava]

Don't sit there so silly, with that eternal newspaper

Don't jawn of tireness or boredom..

But I'm still your wife and I eat from your hand,

but I don't eat from the distribution

[marcwentink]

We moeten weer terug naar die tijd van een Eurovisiesongfestival met alleen west Europese landen! Minder deelnemers, sneller klaar, minder corrupte onzin.

[Maasdam1993]

@marcwentink hmmm er deden vlak na het begin al Oost europese landen mee. Joegoslavie, Hongarije en ik geloof zelfs DDR Polen deden mee.

Toen gingen de punten ook wel naar buurlanden. En heel vaak naar Israel. Griekeland altijd naar cyprus en andersom. Maar ik geef je gelijk het is een corrupte zooi nu met vals zingende mutsen en kerels met kleine stembanden.

[TheRandajad]

Ik begrijp alle rechtszaken West-Europese landen over dit probleem .... maar ik denk dat de Oost-Europese landen ook moeten deelnemen, maar alleen met de beoordeling van het systeem door de jury

[marcwentink]

@TheRandajad Problem, what problem? We don't take the euro vision song contest seriously anymore for decades now! (North) Western Europe just has a total different culture then the East, or South. We just don't want it!! Nor song contests nor more members in the EU, nor more mafia nor matrousjkas. We want our iron curtain back! I can for example remember revolts in the Ukraine, some people saying that they want integration with the west not Russia. But who said we wanted them??? Finally get it?

[leystrasse69]

@marcwentink westerse landen, en vooral nederlanders hebben helemaal geen gevoel voor muziek, dus je hoeft niet te zeuren en er is zeker geen corruptie

[nwLohmann]

@marcwentink leuk idee maar het lgt wat gecompliceerder lijkt mij. Is Oost-Europa geen Europa?

[XBlackRangerX]

Lol dit is al oud zeg! maar wel leuk om weer een keer te zien! -_-

[pietervoogt]

The violin from 3:15 is really a sound from another century... and of course this song is about nostalgia

[Grobbekee]

@pietervoogt

Sem Nijveen was een beroemde joods-nederlandse jazzviolist. Speelde ook bij de Ramblers. Die kon er idd echt wel wat van. En die sordino helpt ook wel met schmieren :)
