At Eurovision
On the night of the final Pelmelay performed 4th in the running order, following Ireland and preceding Turkey. After a strong performance, Pelmelay's voice famously cracked on the final long note of the song, a fact she acknowledged with a wry facial expression as the song ended. At the close of voting "Blijf zoals je bent" had received 45 points from ten countries, placing the Netherlands 15th of the 22 entries.[2] The Dutch jury awarded its 12 points to Denmark.[3]
The Dutch conductor at the contest was Harry van Hoof.
