Every day you can read what NU.nl readers think about the news of the day. Today: Readers’ and other participants’ reactions to Dutch Eurovision duo Mia Nicolay and Dionne Cooper. They were again unable to maintain a tone in their performance this weekend.
2:15“Isn’t this a prerequisite?”
now you news lady: “How can we send out ‘singers’ who can’t keep in tune and sing out of tune? That’s a basic requirement for a singer, right? It’s a bit like an accountant who doesn’t know what a debit/credit is… I get nervous, etc., but we don’t. We send beginners, right?”
They can sing, but it takes a lot of them.
now you Socchlorp: “Hi internet, a professional singer who graduated here. No, it’s not always clean. Mia and Dion can sing a little bit, but the song is asking a lot of duets. Mia has some problems with her head voice and wants to sing too loudly. What Dion does is also very difficult. He’s singing over a man’s voice, but he still needs some time to color his voice and rhythm.”
“The piece doesn’t quite suit their voice, but immediately bullying their qualities as singers is again typically Dutch media. It has an impact on their career and on the focus they will soon need.”
“The stereotype that a lot of people have about singers: you can sing or not sing all at once, you were born with that… that’s so crooked and untrue. 90 percent of the good singers you listen to now started out as people who ‘can’t sing’. You can train all What you hear!Also intonation.
“We’re going to run into a huge error”
Nager Waters: “What a huge mistake we would have made with these two artists. And I can’t even blame them. The organization could have at least watched some of these guys’ live performances to find out that they aren’t particularly good singers. The self-appointed Eurovision expert, Cornald Maas, can blame himself on it.”
We are working on it with a whole team
An AVROTROS spokesperson reports to NU.nl: “I can only agree that it didn’t go well. We’re working hard on it with the whole team. We’ll continue to do that in the coming weeks.”
Good singers, but they underestimate the effect of nerves
Song Festival reporter Lara Zivenberg of NU.nl responded: “They are not bad singers. I have heard before that they can sing, but they are somewhat inexperienced. I think they underestimated the effect an audience of five thousand can have on their nerves, and therefore on their voice. And soon it will also be an audience of millions.” This time it was better than last week in Madrid, but they’re still not there. With three weeks to go until the semi-finals, it’s going to be very exciting. Then they have to play away to four countries. Whether they’ll succeed is now uncertain. completely “.
“This isn’t an easy song. Mia and Dion have to sing a lot from high to low in three minutes. It’s pretty smart if you can do it in one song, but it’s so hard. They’ve been worried about that since the song came out. You hear it constantly getting it wrong on this one.” front. And as soon as they have to change the pitch, they scream themselves.”
