EUROVISION 2018 PREVIEW

39.

NETHERLANDS

OUTLAW IN ‘EM

Waylon

Waylon was one half of The Common Linnets, whose "Calm After The Storm" was an impressive Dutch entry that finished as the runner-up in 2014. He returns this year with the country-rock self-penned "Outlaw In 'Em". The song is too American in its sound and has no innovative approach to the genre. The Netherlands will struggle to qualify in Semi-Final 2. 

It is even less likely to deliver the nation its 5th victory at Eurovision. In 1959, the Netherlands made history, becoming the first country to secure a 2nd win at the ESC.  

40 ALBANIA

41 SERBIA

42 HUNGARY

43 SAN MARINO
