NETHERLANDS |
The Dutch Semi-Finals were held at Hart van Holland near Nijkerk, hosted by Harm Edens. The favourite song of an "expert" jury and the favourite of the televoters went forward to the final. If both had the same favourite then the 2nd favourite of the televoters went through. The "expert" jury included Corry Brokken who won the 1957 ESC. The points awarded by the jury are in the first column of results, with the televoting percentages in the second.
