The dutch entrant is chosen:
"Jeroen van de Boom - Jij bent zo " will defend The Netherlands tricolor in the 2007 USC Summer edition. "Jij bent zo" which means "You're like that" is an uptempo song in dutch and beated former USC particpants Sharon Kips and Rafaella in a final of high musical standard.
The only performance that got Booooooooo-ed from the audience, Guillermo & Tropical Danny, nevertheless got just enough votes to rank up in 10th position (despite 12 from jury member Babis). Gothic band GOOD THINGS END seduced even non gothic fans to vote for them, hence their 4th place. Comeback bands like Dolly Dots, Champagne and Millionaires made the crowd go wild, but did not reach the higher ranks. Maybe the'll have try in a few years back :-)
Unsecure is still which song will be send to 2ndC. It s rumoured it's a battle between Sharon and Rafaella. Some jurors want Sharon to have a second chance after see failed to reach the final in the Spring-edition due to jurors mistake. Others say Rafaella should go, because she is the one in runner up position. An internal decision is expected in the next week.
Jeroen van der Boom however, was a clear winner and was hapy tp perform his (already smash-hit in Holland's charts) again. The reprise can be viewed here.
