I first thought "here we go again", but next they came with a rule, that participants should be between 9 or 15 at december 1th 2012... Makes me suspect there might be a international show? Lets keep an eye on Ketnet, which will copy AVRO very likely soon.

//update// No international show, winners will dance during JESC 2012. Maybe this section could move to JESC2012 forum, or rather not?

Oh so not the usual suspects = Lucia Marthas Dance Academy. xD GOOOOOD I like them but it's starting to get a little old xD Although I don't like the impression that dancing will do when it comes to interval acts and such...

I think the Power of a song sub-forum is more appropriate.

Song? What will the dancers sing? :P

I hope something else than Lucia Martas will be selected, I will approach Rouwhorst Oldenzaal to give a try. Rouwhorst is one of the best dance schools in The Netherlands! :D They got 2nd in a contest in Denmark, if I remember right.

Dance in the intro or something? I hope they'll choose a good interval act too, we had Ch!pz last time, and Katie Melua..

I guess they sort of wanna copy Armenia with the intro. :P

Or themselves.. if you've ever seen 2007..

I've seen it, but was concentrated more on the participants than interfal, tho Ch!pz were very notable also was the groupsong.

I searched some Junior Dance audities and direct the first hit was a kid from the kids circus I work! She (and her friend Lisa) dance nice! :)

All other auditions I found I published on this poll: http://jreurosongfestival.hyves.nl/polls/9...or_het_filmpje/ (the YT links are in white, so hard to see)

My college texted me today, that her daughter applied with a girlfriend. (I told her about the contest and she told her daughter)

So basicly its my responsibility this entry made it to the web! :)

OMG slightly dyslectic fail there Ewout :P I agree pretty much with the finalists and I am glad that Elise got the golden ticket :P

He should work on his English yeah! :P Save the Thrildren! xD

More mistakes, since they mixed up some names at the scoreboard! A nicky and klaartje case. I post the final thing after ESC. :P

Final will begin right after the commercial! I wonder if its Leslie or Elise... Maybe Valery, since she was jury favorite last week?

I hope Valery or Elise.

Ugh Leslie, surely he's talented and all but it's just standard hip hop we've seen a thousand times before at least Valery had something extra, Jennifer & Sander and Elise would have been better winners.

Wow! :o We actually agree! :D Valery was great! Leslie was my least favorite in the line-up today. Altho I knew this result last week, when we saw the voting. Show was great, especially Rachel and EUPHOOOORIA! :D
