Image via Wikipedia After I finished my post last night, Cyprus and the Netherlands completed their selections for the Eurovision Song Contest 2010. Cyprus went for Jon Lilygreen & The Islanders with “Life looks better in spring”. It is a nice gentle song. It doesn’t stand out for me though. The Netherlands had all ready picked their song, ”Ik ben verliefd, Shalalie”, and was just matching it up with a band. They went with Sieneke. I am not sure...
