Davina Michelle - 'The Power of Water' | First Semi-Final | Eurovision 2021 

Netherlands: "Just so you know, we could've won this year. It's just that we don't want to."

GUYSSS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR SWEET COMMENTS! My team and I are extremely proud of the live performance and I hope you like Sweet Water! Love you all!

That awkward moment when she is better than the actual contestants...

Guys... this is NOT playback! Have been a fan of her for years and this is her live voice... she's just incredibly talented!!!

The real winners are the ones who made that stage and the visual effects. Props to them, awesome job.

Like if Davina Michelle needs to represent The Netherlands for Eurovision next year. Davina Michelle needs to make a world wide breakthrough. (they needed to do this act as interval act in the final)

When the interval act is better than any of the acts participating!! What a voice!

The Netherlands can be very proud of their contest. It's the First Semi Final and i'm already blown away by their Eurovision production.

Proof that NL doesn’t need to spend millions on someone like Madonna to make a spectacular show, in fact, this was 100x better than Madonna

If this had been the Dutch entry, the Netherlands would have had another chance to win this festival!

Dit optreden hadden ze tijdens de finale moeten doen, snap absoluut niet waarom ze dat niet gedaan hebben.

By far the best performance of tonight.

Cancel the whole Eurovision Song Contest!!! This is by far the best song and Davina Michelle is hereby the winner ... My goodness, what a performance!! 👊🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

What a spectacular performance! What a show! Her voice is out of this world, it's just magnificent. But her presence, her beauty, the way she dances and moves through the stage is absolutely electrifying. What a talent singer she is. She was born to shine.

It shows the love and hate relation the Dutch have with the water. Best performance and best video.

Casually showed every single contestant how it's actually done. And Thekla Reuten making a cameo, with Davina singing her heart out with a story about the water that's so deeply ingrained in Dutch history and culture... AMAZING!🎶🇳🇱

In alternative universe: “twelve points go to The Netherlands!!”

Top notch performance!

Wow! This performance should be in the final. Not to say to be an entry for the Netherlands... Amazing!

But have y'all actually LISTENED to the lyrics? I get it, her voice and the visual effects are baffling. But then this: Why don't we share our sweet sweet water? What if the thirsty one was your own son or daughter? Why don't we care a little longer? We only worry for a day then stop to bother It's not only about the fight the dutch face with water, but also how we all need it and how dependent we are on it and how not all of us have it!!! Such beautiful, deep thought lyrics, not just an ordinary pop song. Thanks so much, Davina!!!❤

Anyone has Khaleesi vibes? In a good way. She is a power woman. Proud of our Davina🇳🇱

Davina blew all of the actual contestans OUT OF THE WATER with this amazing performance.

For al the guys who think this is fake, no she can sing THAT good!

Such an impressive song and performance. Her message comes out in a very captivating manner and together with the visual sound effects, the film clip and a group of dancers performing in an almost biblical way makes this one of the best in any Eurovision Song contest so far. Davina Michelle, you are a star now!

She deserves to represent The Netherlands next year!!!!!! ❤️😍

The moment when the contestants realize she is actually 100 times better then each and everyone one of them 🤣

wooow i thought she was competing 😱😱😱 DAMN WOULD HAVE WON FOR SURE !! Omg!!

Even serieus Nederland waarom sturen we Davina niet naar Songfestival!! Man man man wat een stem en wat een optreden. Veel beter dan alle andere landen

It doesnt happen very often that the interval act is better than all the normal acts, thy could’ve submitted this and the Netherlands would’ve easily won.

The Netherlands would won 2y in a row if this song was participating in the final

Best song and singer of the whole semi final! 😮

She's the only real winner!!! Why is she only a sidekick? 12 points go to Davina!!!! I want to vote for her. Damn, this is so close to perfection

They could've won again with this! Wow! 😍

The part of the dam is where i'am living, Haringvlietdam, the same place where Duncan is born, Hellevoetsluis, the Netherlands.

Strength to all victims of the recent floods in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg 💛 Let us all ‘care a little longer’

WOW. Wat ontzettend goed gezongen! De special effects mogen er ook zeker zijn. Ik hoop dat Europa en de rest van de wereld Davina nu ook leert kennen!

Her voice is so fk good! I think she is one of the best world wide 🤩🥺❤️ you had 2 years ago Madonna at Eurovision such a big artist but live she can’t sing and now you have Davina unfortunately not big world wide yet but live maybe even better as in the studio. She doesn’t need auto tune, auto tune need her🥰 she is incredible🦋

Man man als je afgelopen editie zag in Italie besef je echt hoe goed wij het vorig jaar hebben gedaan! Er ging echt veel mis bij de italianen en de interval acts van NL waren zo veel beter dan in Italië!

Davina next winner of eurovision

Davina: perfecte show, buitenaards goed!

hoi Davina, zoals ik eerder voorspelde. dit wordt hem. Jouw verdiende internationale doorbraak. Gegund en zeker verdiend! Trots op je!

Geweldig gedaan Davina. Ze hebben nu kennis met je gemaakt, volgend jaar doe jij mee als kandidaat? 🎤💪🏻

Btw nobody talks about Thekla Reuten. Actually it is strange but the movie part with standing at the ''Dijk'' and under water. That is the most beautiful part in this video..

12 punten.....wat een stem onze Davina👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻de beste zangeres....

Wanneer ik die liedje hoor en deze video kijk heb ik het gevoel of ik in een nieuwe attractie van de Efteling sta.

Dit stijgt wel heel ver boven de rest uit.

This was in the Grammy Awards level. Way above the Eurovision level.

Amazing what a show. Davina for our next year entrance. This was only semi final 1. What else will more to come. It was already grand final worthy. Proud of the perfect organization of our country ❤️

They just don't want to pay for it again, do they?

Dit was toch wel even wat anders he dan de optredens in Turijn. Sowieso de hele organisatie was top en dat was absoluut niet het geval in Turijn gisteren . Turijn kon er niet aan tippen

Best vocals of the night, contestants take notes!

Holy shit dit nummer en aller eromheen is zoooooooo vet!! Ben zo trots op Davina en iedereen die eraan meegewerkt heeft.

not only the song, voice, presence, Performance but the strong message is given through this amazing artist! Bravo!

What a performance, what a voice!

Netherland, please request Davina Michelle to participate the next Eurovision song festival. This talented young lady must represent the Netherlands. This voice must be heard again, awesome.

Sooo good!! Also how some acts (including our own sadly) are so simple compared to this! The song, dancers, special effects and finally someone who uses the whole stage. THIS is how it's done 🙌🏼

Hit repeat until next Eurovision!

WTF! so proud !!! Davina the best!!! and the netherlands is the best!

Beetje ongemakkelijk wanneer de tussenact beter is dan elke kandidaat.

Madonna! Are u watching? This is Davina!

Most songs at this contest are aweful. This was the only song which I stopped reading my book for, sitting next to my wife on the couch. Amazing performance, lightning and visuals. This is art. The Netherlands is changing the song contest by itself, hopefully others will follow and will also provide world class singers.

Ahhhhh Davina! Are we going to start seeing her on all the big stages now?! So excited to watch this adventure!

Nog even teruggekeken op youtube. Wat een waanzinnig optreden van Davina, de performance, de dansers, de effecten, alles bij elkaar, WAUW super te gek!!

Als dit onze inzending was dan was het volgend jaar weer in Nederland😌

Khaleesi Queen of the great Dutch sea

Superb,Magnificent💐

The best!!! 😍❤

Okay she is just number 1 of eurovision 2021 even if she is just a interval act.

She looks like Queen Elsa, she sings like Sia... Oh, what Sia, she sings better than her, like a goddess!!! Then the stage performance... All in all, I haven't seen anything so perfect in a long time!!! 😱😱😱👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️

Who the hell is she?! You dutch guys must be proud of this! it's absolutely amazing!

I think Dutch now know who will be their representative next year.

She will be back, her own words: "I still need to grow a bit." She was asked already, but She prefers to be allowed to get more millage as a performing artist, first... And become a (bigger)Name in music, big enough to be allowed to do it 100% with her own team, her independent team that brought her this far already. She went her own way, from the start; not depending on 'The Voice' or similar shows to launch herself into the limelight.... And yes, a bit of luck, aka being picked by Glamour to be played back to P!nk. And the rest is history.... Yes, this was commissioned work, partly used by the Dutch ESC2021 creative team. To SHOWCASE there fabulous Stage, CGI, Augmented reality (the bubbles spiraling , etc.), stage effects, dancers, etc., etc... And of course the best Dutch producers, directors, etc. collaborating. But in the end this is a still based on an authentic work of the artist Davina Michelle, and her own team... Davina Michelle; 'Sweet Water' I still remember the first reaction of P!nk in the GLAUMOUR video, her question: "Is She a recording artist, that makes records, and puts records out?" - No ... (in 2017, Dav.M. was still keeping to putting out covers only) "Well, THAT needs to change !!" Well., it DID. This week was 'just another' step, in her lives-journey: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nbncx0B0spk.html

Next level act , the Dutch can win if they want ..... this year the Dutch didn’t want to win .....

Groot artiest. Dijk van een stem prachtig voorkomen. Ze heeft het top

Great performance, powerfull lines, impressive act! Davina and team: compliments. I'm moved by the fact that we have an almost normal Eurovision Song Contest after this abnormal and difficult year.

Pull me in the rain I need a wake-up shower Ordinary day With many final hours Why do I complain? Why's too much still not enough? Oh rain on me For some it flows For some it drips But most of us get none of it To those in need of only a little sip I'd cry a river just for you So you can feed your children too If all of us would give a little bit Why don't we share our sweet sweet water? What if the thirsty one was your own son or daughter? Why don't we care a little longer? We only worry for a day then stop to bother Pull me in the rain Until you see me shiver Ships are build the same But the waters differ I cannot complain I get everything I need effortlessly For some it flows For some it drips But most of us get none of it To those in need of only a little sip I'd cry a river just for you So you can feed your children too If all of us would give a little bit Why don't we share our sweet sweet water? What if the thirsty one was your own son or daughter? Why don't we care a little longer? We only worry for a day then stop to bother For some it flows For some it drips But most of us get none of it If all of us would share a little bit

holy shit her voice

DAVINA 2024 ESC!!!

All the people who says she is “playbacking” 🤡 First do some research and watch other live performances from her, then talk. Her voice is just unreal

WOW Die komt even binnen, zelf geschreven en gecomponeerd lees ik, petje af!

By far the best performance in this year's competition. Proficiat noorderburen :) Hoop dat we nog eens een Nederlandse winnaar hebben, dat jullie opnieuw een ongelooflijke avond kunnen organiseren. 't Was adembenemend mooi gemaakt in Rotterdam !

Nu weet de wereld wie Davina is Fantastisch optreden

the lights were amazing!!

The Eurovision Song Contest is not my cup of tea. But this is a great song/performance! Nevermind the winner, this is a winner to me! ツ

Breathtaking performance. Masterfully executed. Simply perfection.

Sorry Tel Aviv-Jaffa, but we didn’t had an interval act like someone named Madonna; we Dutchies chose people who can actually sing. 😊

Nieuwe nummer 1 in de top 2000! Geweldig kippenvel!!! Inderdaad had dit in de finale thuisgehoord!

Davina was toch niet goed genoeg voor idols??? Davina heeft dat niet nodig. Mede dankzij Pink is ze bijdeze een Wereldster. Wat een optreden!!!!🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱

Fun fakt: she whas soooo good that ppl thinks it whas not live

World class performance! Better than everyone.

F*cking piece of art! Great!

Weergaloos mooi, in jaren niet zo,n mooi schouwspel gezien👏👏👏voor iedereen die dit hebben gemaakt😍

Werkelijk FANTASTISCH!!!...wát een stem en wat een prachtige dame!! 🤗👌🏼

Impressive, its about time you hit the British market Davina, could do with a new injection of decent music!!

The Netherlands blew me away with the production. Is it this level every year ? Im not a Eurovision follower. My girlfriend is glued to it every year and to be fair sure why not, it’s all good fun and makes people happy. I remember hearing the song by the NL the year they one and thinking wow that’s going to win and be a huge international success. Seeing the NL getting to host was mind blowing. The presenters, ( Nikkie is a star, she has to get a Netflix show ). The talent out of the NL though WOW, Davina, Glennis, Duncan and those presenters could SING. The Eurovision was better presented than any musical show in such a long time. Bravo to all, much love to the NL. Please win and host again 💪🏻

Als Nederlands haar naar het songfestival had gestuurd dit jaar hadden we nog een kans gehad om te winnen. Een hele grote kans.

Oooh je was geweeeeeldddiiig ....

This is the 1st time I've seen this performance, and blew my mind. I knew the song and imediately loved it. Never failed to make me emocional in the best way. Divina has such a powerful voice that just moves you💙

Yassss I was so happy to see her on stage - I listen to her music since 2018 or something like that and yesterday I was screaming in front of the tv 😂 Hugs from Austria 🇦🇹

Pls do the eurovision next year
