Tilburg September (13) 7th place in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest

On Sunday afternoon it was the last of the 16 countries to participate. We’ve also seen the advantage of this previously. “If we were at the back of the line, people might remember our song better while voting,” September believes.

The last time the Netherlands won the Junior Eurovision Song Contest was in 2009, and that will remain so for the time being. Then Ralph Mackenbach won in the Best category with his song “Click Clack”. September and Jasmine were honest up front about their chances of winning this year: “1 out of 16. We’ve just trained well. But we’ll see what happens,” Jasmine said.

“We’re really happy with seventh place, we had a lot of fun!”, September told Jeugdjournaal afterwards. “We are definitely not disappointed but very happy.”

He said they really enjoyed the adventure. “Even though we didn’t win, I want to thank everyone so much for voting for us. We’re going to enjoy it all for a long time to come.”

Both have previously indicated that host nation France could do well. “I really like their song. It has a really nice feel to it Vibration“, said September. It turned out to be the case, because 13-year-old Frenchwoman Zoe Clouzor eventually won the song event with her song barn.

They received tips for their big performance from Luna, who traveled to Armenia for the Netherlands last year to take part in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. “She gave us the advice that we should just have fun, and it will be over soon.”

At least they had fun. After the results came out, the duo indicated that they would also go out to celebrate tonight.
