Take a look through the eyes of Sietse Bakker, Chief Editor of esctoday.com. On a weekly base he will discuss the latest Eurovision Song Contest news and background information with you!

Probably, most of you already knew it: I co-wrote the lyrics of one of the songs which particiapted in the third Dutch semifinal of the Nationaal Songfestival 2004. With The Power of an Angel, Mary Amora did a second try to represent the Netherlands at the Eurovision Song Contest.

The past period I cound't tell you much about the song and the preparations, because I wanted to keep everything related to esctoday.com and my participation to the Dutch semifinal strictly seperated. After all, esctoday.com is and should remain an independent website! It would not be fair to use esctoday.com as place to promote the song, thus we decided to keep it seperated. The song ended up 6th (last) during the semifinal, so now we can say the adventure is over I'd like to share my experiences with you. I'd like to thank Mary, Romeo and the whole team behind for the wonderful time we had together!
