William: As the camera panned out on Trijntje’s face during the opening shot of her second rehearsal, the entire press corps was waiting to see whether she would have changed that dress. And when the cameras revealed that she had the room erupted with applause. Wearing a black dress with a short black leather jacket she looked hip, classy and modern — this is the Trijntje we know and love. A long necklace with a single pearl added softness to the look. The consequences affect more than the fashion stakes: She seemed more comfortable in her skin. She moved more and had much more expression in her face. Her backing vocalists also looked way classier in black-and-white outfits, and the glowing pink L-O-V-E on their backs came through more clearly.

During her second take Trijntje actually test a second jacket: This one red leather with white and black colour accents. Looks like we’ll have to wait and see what she goes for on the big night.

The Netherlands’ second rehearsal at Eurovision 2015

Padraig: Rigor mortis be gone! Traincha is alive again and ready to do battle. There were no “major” changes, but boy do the little tweaks make a difference. The ice-queen shtick is no more. Traincha cracks an occasional smile, she actually moves, and that dress was nowhere in site. After Belgium’s killer set earlier, I seriously think we’re witnessing a Benelux dawn. Amaze!

I am still not convinced by the song, but I have to admit that her voice is really starting to stand out for me. Her voice simply demands attention like no other in this SF. I just wish she was singing one of those jazzy songs I saw her perform on youtube though.

These are geat improvements! Keep the movement of yourself plus back in vocals. Stick to the BLACK and WHITE elements. Use the ‘sexy man’ from your official video clip and finally maximize all black and white elements from the official clip ON STAGE. Look at the light and stream with yourself and the backing vocals. For example use only black and white in the entire show PLUS red love hearts flying from the podium where you are standing. For this part only use red RED .. the color of love! Look at what the common linnets did with all video… Read more »

She is best vocalist from songs of the great Burt Bacharach, please remeber all songs like “Walk on Bye” or “I’ll never fall in Love again”, with all these songs she will remain famous and a No.1. in the worlds music industry.
But as many other music professional artists before with a long time career I feel sorry for her, especially at Eurovision. I’ll wish her the best of luck but this won’t help her in this eintire competition. Thanks to you Trijntje !

Thank you, Jesus. The Netherlands stands a chance of qualifying now. The only question remains, who will take the Barbara Dex Award now?

Last year Conchita won due fantastic vocals,not because of his/her looks.
A men with a beard dressed as a female?
So what about Trijntje her dress,its a singing contest ,not a fashion show.
And vocally she is one of the best and she should be in the finals.
Good luck Trijntje.

Her singing is marvelous but otherwise she is totally static and doesn’t seem to care much about being there. I am sorry she got rid of that dress – along with Moldova’s cops it was the only camp and outrageous thing on the stage so far this year. I like my ESC to keep a healthy balance between camp and credible, but it has veered too much to the “respectable” end of the spectrum this year. A shame.

Anyway I don’t think we will see her in the final.

Still do not like anything about it. What is she wearing? It is like watching your mum getting drunk at a wedding.

Trisha’s song is my 2nd favorite both on the SF & overall… <3
I really hope that she will find her way to the final..
Her song is good enough to pass & with a great performance i don't think that she will be eliminated early on the semi..
Good Luck to Trisha & Holland 🙂

Happy about the dress, still don’t get why the gloomy staging for a feel-good sing along song.

Her vocals are a little bit weaker, but I think that she will improve them for the first semi final. Actually, she is one of the best vocalists this year.

But, I have a question and hopefully one of the Wiwibloggs-reporters can ask her about the ‘augmented reality’, will she use it in Vienna? I haven’t heard anything about that technique yet, sadly…

I appreciate that they actually listened to the critics, reevaluated themselfes and now are trying some changes. They are open for change and dont just stubbornly stick to their arrangements. Well done!

I am happy she changed that dress. People complained a lot about that indeed.
I hope her voice will be better on Tuesday, because her voice was very weak today.
