Dutch singer Douwe Bob enters Eurovision finals

Douwe Bob will be performing during the first half of the Eurovision Song Contest finals on Saturday. The signer-songwriter drew a lot to play in the first half of the evening during the press conference that followed the first semifinal of the contest, NU reports. "I think I speak on behalf of all of us when I say that we are here with one goal. To take that trophy home", Douwe Bob said during the press conference. He is pleased with how the semifinal went. "It was everything I could wish for", he said. "It did not feel like I was performing for 150 million people." The Dutch singer's definite starting spot will be announced later.
