14 Netherlands – One More Night - Esther Hart
At least the Pet Shop Boys’ song of the same name had a memorable hook. This doesn’t, and frankly I can’t see what all the fuss is about. It starts, it’s pleasant enough, it ends. Nothing more to add. This is the woman who made the Dutch final and the last four in the UK too, and successfully plumped for her home country, leaving the song she abandoned to come fourth (and last) in the UK’s Song For Europe. A wise move for her. But I’ve watched the Dutch final, and the words competent and bland came to mind. We need excitement! It desperately needs an injection of some ‘oomph!’ Ripe for a remix. On the plus side, she has a good voice.
