Marco Borsato - Rood
In five minutes this song goes through emotive balladry, frantic classical, acetastic Eurodance, Riverdance and a combination of all these things, and all in Dutch! It's every bit as mad and brilliant as that description suggests, and when you take into account that 39-year-old Marco is one of Holland's biggest pop stars, you'll soon be booking your holidays there, or at least Googling Dutch online radio stations. You may not be sure about this song in the first few minutes but listen to the end and I'm sure you'll be left with a great big grin on your face. Why wasn't this their Eurovision entry? I would have voted for it!
