Their voices blend so well in this track. Country isn't my first genre of music but these guys might have just made me get more interested in it. Should definitely check their other songs out.

 

Proper pleased this is doing the best out of all eurovision tracks on iTunes as well. CATS is lovely!

To think you disliked the song to begin with :kink:

 

I just found it average. But the flawless performance, vocal and staging brought it to life for me in the semi-final. I'd only even played it two or three times before that. Shame on me!

it's fab retro country, as it used to be before the bland rock fusion that took over country in the 90's. Country now has all sorts of cool young country acts, like First Aid Kit, and is crossing over nicely into dancepop too. So happy it's a huge hit everywhere, cos I fell in love with it about a minute into first hearing the song. Seemingly like everyone else! B-)
The songs remains UK top 10 on itunes making an official top 10 placing looking more and more possible.

The Common Linnets are currently #1, #2 and #4 on the Netherlands' iTunes with 'Calm After The Storm' and #3 and #5 with two other tracks from the album!

 

Also, 'Calm After The Storm' is #1 on the Amazon UK MP3 chart! :D It has also received a couple of plays on BBC Radio 2.

So how have people reacted in The Netherlands to the second place?
Im trying to like Netherlands song without success as Im trying to understand what made people vote on it to make it second.

I haven't dished out ratings as high and consistent as that for a LONG time, astounding album.

So how have people reacted in The Netherlands to the second place?

 

From what I heard around me very happy and surprised. Especially since it was with this song, a song that many considered was doomed to fail when it first premiered (the song's reception here was extremely lukewarm or even very negative). Also heard from some people who (like me) were a bit disappointed 'cause they thought we'd have won if the Austrian song was sung by an actual female. Pretty sure this brought back the Eurovision fire in some Dutch people though after the disasters we sent from 2005-2012.

Calm After The Storm is the highest re-entry ever at #3 on the Dutch Top 40 so I'd say the reaction is amazing
Can't wait to see what The Netherlands bring next year! Surely they won't abandon the 'quality song, quality singer' format now. The days of Sienke and De Toppers seem like a horrible distant memory!

I actually like 'Sha La Lie' in all its awfulness :lol:

 

'Shine' is unforgivable though. I felt so ashamed just watching that performance.
