The word is out: the Song Festival is canceled

Well, we could wait for that, right? Just announced by the organization: the Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam has also fallen victim to the fight against the coronavirus. It was already looking increasingly bleak, the event that was actually scheduled for May 12 to 15. But is it wise to fly so many people from various countries to the Netherlands in these times?

No.

And so the decision has just been made. The only thing I can think is: ah… Jeangu Macrooy. Jan Smit. Chantal Jansen. Edsilia Rombley. The city of Rotterdam that fought so hard to get the event there. Duncan who would undoubtedly have come with a guest performance… It doesn’t matter, safety comes first, as the organization understands. But canceled doesn’t mean postponed, right? Canceled as in: we’re not going to make it up later either? Sob. Jeangu, shall we cry together or switch to a home concert? One more time that beautiful song then.
