Two days ago we told you of our belief that The Netherlands could see the county being represented by singer Waylon performing a song written by Ilse Delange and including a famous Dutch DJ – like Armin Van Buuren. Well this rumour seems to be growing with further reported confirmations.
Our good friends at 12Points.tv have informed us that the leading Dutch entertainment tv show “RTL Boulevard” have reported that the Eurovision entry for The Netherlands will be Waylon performing a song written by DeLange and involving DJ Armin Van Buuren.
The success of Anouk at Eurovision 2013 has reinvigorated the Dutch faith in winning the Eurovision Song contest for a fifth time. Dutch Broadcaster AVRO & TROS will be confirming their artist details on November 25th.
Waylon did enter the Dutch National Eurovision Selection in 2005 singing a duet with Rachel called ” Leven als een Beest” or “Living like a Beast”.
Waylon came to prominence when he came second in “Holland’s Got Talent” in 2008 and thus his career rose in popularity and in the charts.
Ilse DeLange has had 6 #1 albums since she became a recording artist in 1995. Armin van Buuren is a World renowned DJ having won the Title of “Worlds Best DJ” no less than 5 times.
Waylon is a Soul and Motown singer, and should his entry be produced by DJ Armin van Buuren, then this could be a very interesting prospect for The Netherlands.
Official confirmation will be made on November 25th. Stay tuned.
Could you see Waylon’s sound and style winning votes at Eurovision?

It sounds like they’re trying to make a “Wake Me Up!” v2.0. It’ll be interesting to see if they can do it. I really hope so. :)
Our thoughts too Nick – That would be good for Eurovision if the song was that successful over the world. Don’t you think so?
Oh it would be fantastic. But imagine what would happen if it became a huge hit and then didn’t win. The contest’s reputation would be badly harmed.
I think it would be still great. Think of Gina G that didn’t win yet went on to be a global hit. Still would be great
I guess it would just be auspicious. It would drive viewing figures through the roof, though! Let’s just see what happens.
We could all be wrong – but ESC Speculation is so entertaining and good for artists to see as it shows the mass appeal of the contest in times when reality dominated the airwaves
