In a closely-fought contest that wasn’t decided until the last moment, the Netherlands won the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest with “Arcade” by Duncan Laurence. Although the Dutch entry was the frontrunner with fans and bookmakers before the contest, as the voting proceeded, it looked like North Macedonia or Sweden would take the crown.
The first votes to be reported were the points from the national juries, made up of professional musicians. North Macedonia maintained the lead for most of that reporting, but when the final country, Israel, announced its result, Sweden moved ahead by two points, with a score of 239 to North Macedonia’s 237. The Netherlands was in third place with 231 points.
It’s the fifth win for the Netherlands in the contest’s 64-year history, and the first since 1975, when the group Teach-In claimed victory with “Ding-a-Dong.” Other winners from Holland are: “Net Als Toen” by Corry Brokken , “Een Beetje” by Teddy Scholten and “De Troubadour” by Lenny Kuhr .
