Tonight, RTL received a lot of negative feedback from the
Luxembourgish people, due to the borrowing rule over the
Benelux region, that allowed
Within Temptation to take part in the
National Selection for
Luxembourg, and later, to win it. Most of the comments are formed because of patriotical reasons, but also because ,
Within Temptation won against
Scene Writers, a very loved and famous local band. The
head of delegation also confirmed the rudeness in some of the comments.
Sharon Den Adel, the lead vocal of the
Within Temptation stated that
It's sad and painful to hear that most of the
Luxembourgish Northfans disagree and are very rude towards me and my band. It's sad, because I feel very related to
Luxembourg, because, if it wasn't that way, believe me, I'd never have applied for
A Star For Luxembourg. This feedback really.. Made me speechless...
The Head of the
Luxembourgish delegation along with the RTL.lu Executive Supervisor stated that
It's just so ashaming that in the 21st Century people still complain about a fair selected winner. Any rule is saying that
Within Temptation isn't able to represent
Luxembourg in Northvision. And again, it won in a tournament Selection made by eight contenders.. It's such a shame! [...] I think as long as a singer feels connected, related, close to us or simply has a valuable reason to represent us, and even the stricter rules accept that there shouldn't be absolutely any turmoil about it. Nowadays, I noticed that a lot of people are driven by a lot of bad facts when it comes to a song contest.
"Sinead" also received bad feedback from several foreign Northfans, stating that the song is an
Amaranthine wannabe, affirmation on which, inspectors are workind and wondering on.
The song that will represent
Luxembourg will change if the turmoil continues and the plagium accusations appear to be true and based on a real fact. Meanwhile, this appears to be, so far, the biggest controversy of the Northvision 5, and yet, the forth edition didn't even finish properly.
