[TheBanned0ne]

WTF, was aan het zoeken naar de nieuwe zombie map van black ops, Shangri la, en kreeg dit .. -,-

[PWNINGxYOU]

@TheBanned0ne ik ook XD!

[Daan9898]

meest onderschatte nederlandse songfestivalliedje

[sarit3333]

It should have won!

I love this song!!

beautiful!!!!

Sarit, Israel

[Jaimzzz]

langs elke flatgebouw zie ik een bamboetouw okeee

[NLglennNL]

dude its 80s eveyone looks like retard in that time who cares.

he wash the best.

[seymourultim1st]

this one had to win,i saw the other songs liked this the one the most.

[NLglennNL]

i agreee netherlands (H)

[Carzhoofd]

Sinds de taalvrijheid is ingevoerd is het hele songfestival geflipt! :S

TERUG NAAR EIGEN TAAL!

[Spartiatai300]

Ik ben het helemaal met je eens. We kwamen met onze eigen taal ook verder, niet dat dat uit maakt. We moeten gewoon iets van ons eigen land laten zien in onze eigen taal! Of we winnen of niet is dan niet belangrijk.

[ReadeRomke]

Of gewoon in het Fries.Misschien vinden ze dat daar wel mooi klinken.

[mikeiscoold]

i now what the name is from his man: joling

[blockthisuser]

Did this guy ever looked in the mirror?

[blanes2002]

this show was 20 years ago..

[visitoradam]

ajme vidi jastucici

[MaestroFire]

leuk haar :P

[aufrechtgehn]

Oh my Gawd! The fat smile he throws in the camera right after the opening chorus is just too hilarious! :)

Loving the song though, so camp and dramatic - absolutely fabolous!

Oh, and thank you hillena for the word "matjes haar" :D - and yes, it rules indeed!

I've seen that he still hasn't lost his awesome sense of fashion today - can't wait to see him and his Toppers mates rocking the stage in Moscow!

[SmileySofie]

When I heard this song for the first time today I was so sure Cher was singing! So I was very surprised to find the voice in fact belongs to this guy! :D

[mandyyy1]

yes hihi but he is gay ;)

[musicjermy]

Yup he is

[Adpak1987]

Moet hij plassen ofzo? Hij staat zo te bewegen met zijn been, dat je dat wel zou denken.

Overigens is het geluid hier echt heel slecht.

[sjorsie13]

en de geuren van stralen bier :D:D

[jeroenhengelo]

HITZZZ

[hillena]

schoudervullingen en matjes haar RULE

[timmyturner91]

volgend jaar moeten we hem zeker sturen :)

[mandyyy1]

hij gaat toch met de toppers? :D

[Adpak1987]

Klopt. Ze willen zeker degens kruisen met Willeke Alberti uit 1994?

In ieder geval: mijn floppers zien er als volgt uit:

1. Bill van Dijk - Jij en ik

2. Linda Wagenmakers - No goodbye

3. Willeke Alberti - Waar is de zon?

4. De Toppers - .......... (ze gaan zeker medleys van letterlijke toppers laten horen. Zo kan ik het ook)

[miamorforever]

Wat veel haar hee xD

[robjelu]

Hoeveelste is hij eigenlijk geworden toen? Kwam hij hoog?

[Demixx007]

Ik wil hem downloaden, maar ik kan hem nergens vinden..

[sst800]

One of my favorites in 1988

[chioggia2005]

Hi, I'm from The Netherlands and I'm very proud of singers like Gerard Joling!

The man has a great voice :)

[KevinFLR]

Inderdaad!!

[Thesouthman]

nice song!!!!

[1505Dimmie]

Het is en blijft een top vent met een goude stem!!!

Gerard de beste :)

[mikellover]

OMG I didn't know he looked like that it looks cute:P i think he is very good!

[palo75sk]

Woow,cool!Finding this song I remebered the times in my childhood watchig Eurovision on TV.Nice song.Still thinking of times when all the sogs had to be sung in their own languages.

[buttheadt]

wat een ruil nicht

[songii]

hij wil weer in 2009 :P

beter dan maggie macneal..

[claesilhruskasz]

die haar-styl0 is wel gevaarlijk ouwe hahahhaa

[nattedrol]

no way... hope nobody actually sees this

[Roog74]

jammer

[Christoffeltje]

GREAT SONG

[dirty06maggot]

jammer dat ie die hoge noot niet pakte

[molitva2007]

I love this performance! What a great voice!! And he looked very cute at that time!!

[jeroenhengelo]

hitzz haha

[cnzw]

Het was een complete blammage voor ons land! Zo een iemand zal en mag nooit meer een land als Nederland vertegenwoordigen!

En complete afgang!

[schlosser1]

stiekem wel een leuk liedje, al kan het nauwelijks fouter maar toch.

[chrisman22041985]

nou ik dacht het niet hoor dat hij nog een keer gaat, hij heeft het te druk in mei 2008

[eurosonggek]

he might return this year for the netherlands but they are not sure yet

[eurosinger18]

He great...now taht he is back...I wish a even better song =)

[aatox]

I still sing this song for myself today! "Leven! Liefde! 'k Ben op zoek naar Shangri-laaa-ooh-ooh-ooooh!" :D

[deppfan1992]

echt een leuk liedje!

[jaybee61]

50% of the world population would hate his voice...and the other half wouldn't even listen. I think he's terrible. The song wasn't too bad, though.

[HBrugge19]

he is the moast inportant and famous men VIP in the Netherlands because he is the only men here in netherland with that sound

and he is Gay but who cares

bush is also gay that little fagged !!!!

[klarinetta]

No you don't say. You can see in thousand miles distance that he is gay. I knew that from the first time I saw this.

[themitch1966]

50 percent?!? Please reference where you got THOSE figures, 'cause that sounds kinda far-fetched. In fact, that sounds like the kind of figures G.L.A.D. would put out in one of its defense/attacks.

[xpinkdoll]

Lol love this

[Euroencyclopedia]

50% of the world population is gay, why should you try and hide? :|

[AJLOVEYOU16]

so he's gay? so what jesus

[setheurovision94]

Nice beat and power to the melody. Nice song from the Netherlands. I've got the chorus stuck in my head as I'm writing this. So dramatic in sound, the lyrics totally complementing it. Nice job, guys.

[18me18]

hys t0p hy k0m by 0ns 0p sch0olfeest :D

[Jumpen2]

good song

[lalaguna80]

This was a very good song that year! Sould 've been Top 5

[yuggoth69]

Are his sexual preferences so important,especially now in the 21th century?I can't believe it's still a reason for joke

[maarten1313]

he is as gay as versace was

[Christoffeltje]

Yes since he was a baby haha.. he is his self.. it's not a issue any in a modern country!!

[pusinarulla]

Well, I didn't mean it like that. The fact that he's gay doesn't diminish his value as a person or a singer - I was just remembering "the good old days" and how a person grows to see things differently... Hope you got my point. :)

[pusinarulla]

Oh yes, this was my favourite in 1988! At the time I was 14 yrs and Gerard was soooo handsome, I thought. Now I mostly think that he looks a bit like gay??? ;)

[markgerdes123]

he's gay :P haha

[rollergirll]

En jij bent vast heel heel lelijk

[mikek74]

i remember this song! i liked it a lot!!! not our's "clown" (greece)...

[Christoffeltje]

very good song

[samboxed]

A very good performance, good vocals. One of the contests most memorable songs that year.

[Littlelvis87]

haha een echte geer!!

[marz667]

[metallica05081990]
