Eurovision check-in: Claude from The Netherlands is a contender

We’ve known Claude would be representing The Netherlands for quite a while now, but finally his song has been revealed.

The French saying translates as “That’s Life”, and it’s got all the signatures of a classic Eurovision track. The singer says the song is about being a parent, and specifically about his own mother.

“From my childhood through my youth, she taught me to find the positive in life’s experiences, even during setbacks.”

Reflecting on the song’s message, he added, “Even when things seem dark, it’s important to focus on the brighter side. This is the message I aim to convey—life isn’t always easy; it has its ups, downs, and twists, but ‘C’est la vie’!”

The song, which is in both English and French, was leaked a day ahead of its official release.

Croatia has picked Marko Bošnjak and his song ‘Poison Cake’  

Marko Bošnjak has released several singles in his home country since 2022, but he’ll be getting a lot of new fans when he takes to the stage at Eurovision.

The song is described as being inspired by classic fairytales and Bošnjak says its different to his previous work.

“The song is energetic and it’s about something totally unexpected from me, as a musician. I think the song is of multidimensional meaning and that everyone can recognize it and experience it in their own way.” he said.

It’s very Gaga-esque, and goes from one extreme to another.
