The Netherlands was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 with the song "Walk Along" written by Tobias Karlsson and Anouk Teeuwe. The song was performed by Trijntje Oosterhuis, who was internally selected by the Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS to represent the Netherlands at the 2015 contest in Vienna, Austria. Songwriter Anouk Teeuwe represented the Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 with the song "Birds" where she placed ninth in the grand final of the competition. Trijntje Oosterhuis' appointment as the Dutch representative was announced on 10 November 2014, while the song, "Walk Along", was presented to the public on 11 December 2014.

The Netherlands was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 19 May 2015. Performing during the show in position 4, "Walk Along" was not announced among top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that the Netherlands placed fourteenth out of the 16 participating countries in the semi-final with 33 points.

Background

{{main|Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest}}Prior to the 2015 contest, the Netherlands had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest fifty-five times since their début as one of seven countries to take part in the inaugural contest in {{Escyr|1956}}.{{cite web|title=Eurovision Song Contest 1956|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/history/by-year/contest?event=273|website=eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=28 November 2014}} Since then, the country has won the contest four times: in {{Escyr|1957}} with the song "Net als toen" performed by Corry Brokken;{{cite web|title=Eurovision Song Contest 1957|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/history/by-year/contest?event=274|website=eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=28 November 2014}} in {{Escyr|1959}} with the song "'n Beetje" performed by Teddy Scholten;{{cite web|title=Eurovision Song Contest 1959|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/history/by-year/contest?event=276|website=eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=28 November 2014}} in {{Escyr|1969}} as one of four countries to tie for first place with "De troubadour" performed by Lenny Kuhr;{{cite web|title=Eurovision Song Contest 1969|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/history/by-year/contest?event=286|website=eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=28 November 2014}} and in {{Escyr|1975}} with "Ding-a-dong" performed by the group Teach-In.{{cite web|title=Eurovision Song Contest 1975|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/history/by-year/contest?event=291|website=eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=28 November 2014}} Following the introduction of semi-finals for the 2004 contest, the Netherlands had featured in only three finals. The Dutch least successful result has been last place, which they have achieved on five occasions, most recently in the second semi-final of the 2011 contest.{{cite web|title=Eurovision Song Contest 2011 Semi-Final (2)|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/history/by-year/contest?event=1543|website=eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=28 November 2014}} The Netherlands has also received nul points on two occasions; in {{Escyr|1962}} and {{Escyr|1963}}.{{cite web|title=History by Country - The Netherlands|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/history/by-country/country?country=15|website=eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=28 November 2014}}

The Dutch national broadcaster, AVROTROS, broadcasts the event within the Netherlands and organises the selection process for the nation's entry.{{cite web |last=Jiandani |first=Sanjay |date=3 June 2014 |title=The Netherlands: AvroTros confirms participation in Eurovision 2015 |url=http://esctoday.com/84131/netherlands-avrotros-confirms-participation-eurovision-2015/ |access-date=10 November 2014 |publisher=ESCToday}} The Netherlands has used various methods to select the Dutch entry in the past, such as the Nationaal Songfestival, a live televised national final to choose the performer, song or both to compete at Eurovision. However, internal selections have also been held on occasion. Since 2013, the broadcaster has internally selected the Dutch entry for the contest. In 2013, the internal selection of Anouk performing "Birds" managed to take the country to the final for the first time in eight years and placed ninth overall. In 2014, the internal selection of the Common Linnets performing "Calm After the Storm" qualified the nation to the final once again and placed second, making it the most successful Dutch result in the contest since their victory in 1975. For 2015, the broadcaster opted to continue selecting the Dutch entry through an internal selection.{{cite web |last=Knoops |first=Roy |date=19 August 2014 |title=The Netherlands: AvroTros in search for candidate 2015 |url=http://esctoday.com/86206/netherlands-avrotros-search-candidate-2015/ |access-date=10 November 2014 |publisher=ESCToday}}

Following the Common Linnets' second place in 2014 with the song "Calm After the Storm", the Dutch broadcaster revealed in August 2014 that they would continue to internally select both the artist and song for the Eurovision Song Contest, while later revealing in October 2014 that an announcement would be expected in November 2014 after several artists had already been in contact with the broadcaster in regards to participating.{{cite web |last=Knoops |first=Roy |date=24 October 2014 |title=The Netherlands: Broadcaster AvroTros negotiating with Alain Clark and other artists |url=http://esctoday.com/87840/netherlands-broadcaster-avrotros-negotiating-alain-clark-artists/ |access-date=10 November 2014 |publisher=ESCToday}}{{cite web |last=Jiandani |first=Sanjay |date=5 October 2014 |title=The Netherlands: Announcement in November |url=http://esctoday.com/88781/netherlands-artist-annoucement-november/ |access-date=10 November 2014 |publisher=ESCToday}} Artists that were rumoured in Dutch media to be in talks with AVROTROS included singers Dotan and Alain Clark.{{cite news |date=19 August 2014 |title=Alain Clark naar Songfestival |language=nl |newspaper=De Telegraaf |url=http://www.telegraaf.nl/watuzegt/22981688/___Alain_Clark_naar_Songfestival___.html |access-date=10 November 2014}}{{cite news |date=21 August 2014 |title=Dotan wil naar Songfestival |language=nl |newspaper=De Telegraaf |url=http://www.telegraaf.nl/prive/22990419/__Dotan_wil_naar_Songfestival__.html |access-date=10 November 2014}}

On 1 November 2014, Dutch media reported that AVROTROS had selected singer Trijntje Oosterhuis to represent the Netherlands at the 2015 contest, possibly as part of the group Ladies of Soul which also included former Dutch Eurovision entrants Edsilia Rombley (1998 and 2007) and Glennis Grace (2005).{{cite web |last=van Lith |first=Nick |date=1 November 2014 |title=Netherlands: Avrotros about to announce their entrant? |url=http://escxtra.com/2014/11/avrotros-about-to-announce-their-entrant/ |access-date=10 November 2014 |publisher=escXtra.com}}{{cite web |last=Storvik-Green |first=Simon |date=10 November 2014 |title=Confirmed: Trijntje Oosterhuis to represent the Netherlands in Vienna |url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=confirmed_trijntje_oosterhuis_to_represent_the_netherlands_in_vienna |access-date=10 November 2014 |publisher=Eurovision.tv}} Oosterhuis was confirmed as the Dutch entrant on 10 November 2014 during the NPO Radio 2 programme Gouden Uren, hosted by Daniël Dekker. The selection of Trijntje Oosterhuis as the Dutch representative occurred through a selection commission consisting of television host and author Cornald Maas, radio DJ Daniël Dekker and AVROTROS media-director Remco van Leen.{{Cite web |last=Raatgever |first=Stefan |date=11 November 2014 |title=Trijntje over Songfestival: Het is nu of nooit voor mij |url=https://www.ad.nl/tv-en-radio/trijntje-over-songfestival-het-is-nu-of-nooit-voor-mij~ae2d4fd6/ |access-date=18 September 2022 |website=ad.nl |language=nl}}

"Walk Along" was written by Tobias Karlsson and Anouk Teeuwe who previously represented the Netherlands at the Eurovision Song Contest 2013. Anouk revealed earlier during an interview on the Dutch talk show College Tour on 7 November 2014 that she had written Oosterhuis' Eurovision song, of which Oosterhuis described as an "incredible fresh song that people wouldn't expect from Anouk or her" during her 8 November interview on Gouden Uren.{{cite web |last=Błażewicz |first=Maciej |date=8 November 2014 |title=Trijntje Oosterhuis to represent the Netherlands in Vienna? |url=http://escbubble.com/2014/11/trijntje-oosterhuis-represent-netherlands-vienna/ |access-date=10 November 2014 |publisher=ESC Bubble}}

In the lead up to the Eurovision Song Contest, Trijntje Oosterhuis' promotional activities occurred entirely within the Netherlands where she performed at live events, radio shows and talk shows. On 9 April, Oosterhuis performed during the Eurovision in Concert event which was held at the Melkweg venue in Amsterdam and hosted by Cornald Maas and Edsilia Rombley.{{Cite web |last=Petersen |first=Christian |date=9 April 2015 |title=Eurovision in Concert 2015 |url=https://eurovisionworld.com/esc/eurovision_in_concert_2015 |access-date=7 October 2021 |website=Eurovisionworld}}

According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final. In the 2015 contest, Australia also competed directly in the final as an invited guest nation.{{cite web|last1=Siim|first1=Jarmo|title=Australia to compete in the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=australia_to_participate_in_the_2015_eurovision_song_contest|website=eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=22 December 2015|date=10 February 2015}} The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into five different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot.{{cite web|last1=Brey|first1=Marco|title=Tomorrow: The semi-final allocation draw|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=tomorrow_the_semi-final_allocation_draw|website=Eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=25 January 2015|date=25 January 2015}} On 26 January 2015, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in. The Netherlands was placed into the first semi-final, to be held on 19 May 2015, and was scheduled to perform in the first half of the show.{{cite web|last1=Escudero|first1=Victor M.|title=Allocation Draw results: Who's in which Semi-Final?|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=DJP_allocation_draw_results_whos_in_which_semi-final|website=Eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=26 January 2015|date=26 January 2015}}

Once all the competing songs for the 2015 contest had been released, the running order for the semi-finals was decided by the shows' producers rather than through another draw, so that similar songs were not placed next to each other. The Netherlands was set to perform in position 4, following the entry from Belgium and before the entry from Finland.{{cite web|first=Jarmo|last=Siim|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=running_order_of_semi-finals_revealed|title=Running order of Semi-Finals revealed|website=Eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=22 December 2015|date=23 March 2015}}

The two semi-finals and the final were broadcast on NPO 1 and BVN as well as via radio on NPO Radio 2. All broadcasts featured commentary by Cornald Maas and Jan Smit.{{cite web|url=http://www.npo.nl/artikelen/het-eurovisie-songfestival-op-npo-1|title=Het Eurovisie Songfestival op NPO 1|date=6 May 2015|access-date=10 May 2015|language=nl|publisher=NPO}}{{cite web|url=http://www.npo.nl/artikelen/npo-radio-2-programma-aan-de-slag-vanuit-wenen|title=NPO Radio 2-programma Aan de slag vanuit Wenen|date=6 May 2015|access-date=10 May 2015|language=nl|publisher=NPO}} The Dutch spokesperson, who announced the Dutch votes during the final, was 1998 and 2007 Dutch Eurovision entrant Edsilia Rombley.{{cite web |last1=Roxburgh |first1=Gordon |date=23 May 2015 |title="Good evening Vienna" - Voting order revealed |url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=good_evening_vienna_-_voting_order_revealed |access-date=23 May 2015 |website=eurovision.tv |publisher=EBU}}

The Dutch performance featured Trijntje Oosterhuis performing together with four backing vocalists. During the first technical rehearsal, Oosterhuis wore a black dress with a revealing opened front designed by Prince Charming (Tycho Boeker), however it received considerable media coverage in the Netherlands sparking both positive and negative reactions from the Dutch press and public alike.{{cite web |date=11 May 2015 |title=Buitenland lacht zich suf om Trijntje Oosterhuis |url=http://www.telegraaf.nl/prive/songfestival2015/24028804/__Buitenland_lacht_om_Trijntje__.html |access-date=30 December 2015 |website=telegraaf.nl |publisher=De Telegraaf |language=nl}}{{cite web |last=Moerman |first=Sophie |date=11 May 2015 |title=Twitter gaat los over jurk Trijntje Oosterhuis |url=http://www.metronieuws.nl/mode/2015/05/twitter-gaat-los-over-jurk-trijntje-oosterhuis |access-date=30 December 2015 |website=metronieuws.nl |publisher=Metro |language=nl}} In regards to the commentaries on her dress, the singer stated: "I've heard people are talking about it, but I find it strange and don't really understand it. I'm just not used to people talking about such things. I hope they will talk about the song again". Oosterhuis would later opt to change her outfit to a black parachute-like pantsuit.{{cite web |date=13 May 2015 |title=Trijntje Oosterhuis 'verbijsterd' over reacties op jurk |url=http://www.nu.nl/achterklap/4048849/trijntje-oosterhuis-verbijsterd-reacties-jurk.html |access-date=30 December 2015 |website=nu.nl |publisher=NU.nl |language=nl}}{{cite web |date=19 May 2015 |title=Ontwerper jurk Trijntje Oosterhuis verbaasd |url=http://www.telegraaf.nl/prive/songfestival2015/24056015/__Ontwerper_jurk_verbaasd__.html |access-date=30 December 2015 |website=telegraaf.nl |publisher=De Telegraaf |language=nl}} The performance was opened with a zoomed-in view of the singer's eyes covered by a veil, which she tore off at the first chorus. The stage colours transitioned between white, blue, green and red with the LED screens displaying a walking shadow figure. The four backing vocalists that joined Trijntje Oosterhuis were: Patt Riley, Michelle Oudeman, Lesley van der Aa and Jenny Lane.{{cite web |title=Trijntje Oosterhuis: Walk along |url=http://www.eurovisionartists.nl/index.htm?content/esf210.asp?ID=1427 |access-date=22 December 2015 |website=eurovisionartists.nl |language=nl}} The staging director for the performance was Hans Pannecoucke, who also worked with the Dutch entrant in 2014 in a similar role.{{cite web |last1=van der Mee |first1=Tonny |date=2 January 2016 |title=Douwe Bob 'gaat iets heel gaafs doen op Songfestival' |url=http://www.ad.nl/ad/nl/1002/Show/article/detail/4217656/2016/01/02/Douwe-Bob-gaat-iets-heel-gaafs-doen-op-Songfestival.dhtml |access-date=18 January 2016 |website=ad.nl |publisher=Algemeen Dagblad |language=nl}}

At the end of the show, the Netherlands was not announced among the top 10 entries in the first semi-final and therefore failed to qualify to compete in the final.{{cite web |last1=Roxburgh |first1=Gordon |date=19 May 2015 |title=We have our first ten finalists |url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=87we_have_our_first_ten_finalists |access-date=22 December 2015 |website=eurovision.tv |publisher=European Broadcasting Union}} It was later revealed that the Netherlands placed fourteenth in the semi-final, receiving a total of 33 points.{{cite web |title=First Semi-Final of Vienna 2015 |url=https://eurovision.tv/event/vienna-2015/first-semi-final |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210328101729/https://eurovision.tv/event/vienna-2015/first-semi-final |archive-date=28 March 2021 |access-date=28 March 2021 |publisher=European Broadcasting Union}}

=Voting=

Voting during the three shows consisted of 50 percent public televoting and 50 percent from a jury deliberation. The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency. This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury could be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently. The individual rankings of each jury member were released shortly after the grand final.{{cite web|last1=Bakker|first1=Sietse|title=Exclusive: Here are this year's national juries!|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=exclusive_here_are_this_years_national_juries|website=eurovision.tv|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=22 December 2015|date=1 May 2015}}

Following the release of the full split voting by the EBU after the conclusion of the competition, it was revealed that the Netherlands had placed fifteenth with the public televote and fifth with the jury vote in the first semi-final. In the public vote, the Netherlands scored 23 points, while with the jury vote, the Netherlands scored 70 points.{{cite web|last1=Adams|first1=Willy Lee|title=Semi final split results: Who the jury hurt at Eurovision 2015|url=http://wiwibloggs.com/2015/05/25/semi-final-split-results-jury-eurovision-2015/96543/|website=wiwibloggs.com|publisher=Wiwibloggs|access-date=23 December 2015|date=25 May 2015}}
