Duncan Laurence (24) from the Netherlands is a candidate for the throne in May.

The 41 contributing countries have now all chosen their representatives. In the Netherlands, in the overview of bets, we find Russia – then Sweden, who called this weekend John Lundvik (36 years) and "Too Late For Love" to their optimist.

The Oddsdigest.com website writes that Duncan de Moor, whose name he originally named, strongly suggests "his charisma and falseness". Also on this fan page of the Eurovision Song Contest on Facebook, where participants are encouraged to vote for their favorite, Duncan Laurence is in the lead.

Aged 24, she studied at the Rock Academy, but is not known in her home country. However, he participated in "The Voice", where he came in the semifinals.

– I am inspired by the story of the loss of a loving man from an early age. "Arcade" aims to seek the love of a lifetime – hope for what is sometimes inaccessible, says the favorite of Eurovision for RadioTimes.

The Netherlands has already won the Eurovision Song Contest four times, in 1957, 1959, 1969 and 1975. It is necessary to go back 44 years to find the last first row. In 2014, however, they were close and landed in second place – beaten by Austria and drag artist Conchita Wurst (30).

The final week of this year takes place in Tel Aviv, with two semi-finals on May 14 and 16 and the final settlement on May 18. The "big five", England, France, Italy, Spain and Germany are, as usual, qualified for the main final.
