LIVE: Jeangu Macrooy - Grow | Songfestival 2020 

Not often that a live version is even better. This is unbelievably good.

this song literally 'grows' on you, gets better and better every time I hear it!!!

Imagine if Eurovision was held in 2020 it could have been a back to back win for Netherlands.

Everytime I listen to it, it brings me to tears. That deserves an extended version. 12 points from Germany 🥰🍀👍🤩

This is masterclass, masterpiece.THİS İS EVERYTHİNG. THE NETHERLANDS SHOULD WİN ESC AGAİN. LOVES FROM TURKEY 🇹🇷🇳🇱

I don't even watch Eurovision but I ran into this and it is one of the most beautiful songs that I've heard in my life!!! amazing!! and what a voice!! I want to hear more from this man!! ❤❤❤

Never heard a greater voice the last months or years like this! Thumbs UP 2020 for the netherlands! Luv from Vienna, Austria. Gio

This is simply amazing. Netherlands could win again, this is the most touching song of the contest so far (and by far)

His voice is blessed, there is no other way to understand his talent. So many comments here saying the same, all of us so full of emotions... He's amazing and the song grows live. Beautiful.

The Netherlands is going to win again with the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 !!!

I love this! Greetings from Germany ❤️🙏🏻

This will for sure get a lot of people's attention during the show, because it isn't a cheesy ballad with a "normal" struction, it's a piece of art translated to music

Holy s**t. We'll win again. Gold!

The lyrics already punched me in a gut on the first listen, but the live version magnified that effect so much - what an incredible voice and I loved the little orchestra playing ♥

Zielenrakend Jeangu..... ik voel het van top tot teen...... enorm veel plezier naar de aanloop van het Eurovision en erg veel succes....

Wow!!! What an amazing live performance of such an amazing song!! Congrats Jeangu!!! 🤗🤗🤗👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I'm in love. Amazing entry and what a charming singer

Another winning song. Simply fantastic and beautiful. He touches me so deeply that I have to cry every time. My 12 points will go from Germany to the Netherlands in 2020. 👍

Dit is na Arcade weer een inzending waarbij ik volledig in trance raakte van de live uitvoering, zo'n geweldig lied en het kan haast niet maar wordt steeds mooier !!

The first time I listened to this, I could immidiately tell this is a top quality production. I've seen most of the other Eurovision entries already, and even though there are some good songs, this definitely is at another level. It's simply yet another masterpiece from The Netherlands and I definitely won't be surprised if they win again.

How envy national delegations that chose quality entries no matter if they are for ESC or not. It's a profound song, nicely sung, with great message and a talented singer that express with his voice so much emotions that come from the deep. Congrats The Netherlands! Very well done again this year and deserve a great great result in Rotterdam.

Arcade was masterclass but this is masterclass to, maby better, what a voice. 12 points from Germany.

I can't get over how beautiful his voice sounds, the sound, the warmth, the sensitivity, the kindness in it, it all really gets to me

WOW !!! this is so beautiful, so touching. this will be a magical moment in Rotterdam. thanks Netherlands for this amazing entry.

Wow wowww this is live even better than the studio version. A great and worthy song to follow up Arcade. This will be a moment of silence in the Ahoy arena. Great job Netherlands 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱

If the staging will be good, I don't see why The Netherlands can't win again.

Am i watching the clip? This guy is great in singing at live performances! It sounds exactly like the clip.. Everybody: Duncan laurence, The Netherlands just won in 2019 Jeangru: Hold my dreads, i'm gonna do this again! Yes, we can, watch my words..... With the right staging..... we'll slay it!

so moving, his twin brother as backing singer, grandmother and mother in the studio and proud master ESF Netherlands Cornald Maas at the table at DWDD. ❤️

My god, the lyrics! This is such a masterpiece. Hopefully people will understand that music is not only about the sound but also for emotions. 12 points, again.

When I first heard the song I was pretty dissapointed, probably because I was judging everything and didnt take the time to actually feel the song, now I heard the live performance I have to say that i'm blown away by this beautiful song and performance. I have a feeling this could really be a dark horse if it gets a good place in the running order🔝

Goosebumbs all over my body! A message pure from the heart! This song is quality and so unique! I had tears in my eyes, something I didn't have with any other song this year of Eurovision. I hope it will 'grow' by the bookmakers and the audience as well! But wathever the final results will be, you my winner Jeangu!

I cried when I heard Arcade. I cried more when I heard Grow. Wish you all the luck for Eurovision 2020.

Really beautiful and classy entry. He's got such a great voice.

This version is so much better than the studio version! Please use this in the final

After hearing this song for the first time I didn't really feel it and wasn't that impressed.... after I isolated myself and really listened to the song and the message of the song I will make a slight adjustment to my first opinion of the song. This is the best song the Netherlands has send to the Eurovision song contest so far.

How does it sound exact the Same as the music video! How is that possible, I am in shock🇳🇱🇳🇱🔥

This is such a beautiful song! I can't get it out of my head and sing it all day!

Coming from a Swede I gotta say I love how chill the dutch qualifiers seem to be, seem like a small cafe with about 50 listeners or so.

Its so interesting that you need to hear this song multiple times to truly appreciate it.

De eerste keer was het eigenlijk helemaal niet wat ik had gehoopt....but it has to GROW....nu heb ik het meerdere keren geluisterd en ik vind het een geweldig nummer! Trots!!

Wasn’t sure about the build up and choices that are made in the song, but it definitely made me feel something! And now listening to it more, I kinda like the unexpectedness.

Those background singers sound amazing!! Tell me they're coming with him to eurovision

This is just amazing - would have been a classic Eurovision moment tonight

wanneer hij live letterlijk nog beter klinkt en me nog meer raakt !

With such personal performance combined with beautiful voices, you could only win and never loose. Congratulions Jeangru. Total masterpiece and all the best and luck within your Eurovision yourney.

I'm telling y'all this could win.

It’s great that The Netherlands made a really emotional and a relatively slow song, cause in comparison to all the other countries with their uptempo pop and edm tracks, we will really stand out AGAIN this year!

Live is amazing. I have no doubt Jeangu will serve a great performance. No more "winners of last year in bottom 5" anymore, juries will eat this up, top 10 is possible.

Wat een waanzinnig mooi nummer en wat een stem!

Een prachtig spiritueel lied , veeeeeel succes op het songfestival.Ik word eer erg emotioneel van.Jij verdient te winnen

Live even better, great voice combined with a beautiful song!! JUST PERFECT, this will lift the Eurovision to a higher quality level!! 👍🏾❤️🇳🇱

They deserve to win again with this incredible singer ❤️❤️

Kippenvel!! Dit is zo verdraaid origineel in elkaar gezet, CHAPEAU!

So beautiful, beautiful voice, lyrics. I get goosebumps and it touches my heart ❤️🙏🏽

I love the song I love his voice I love everything!! Jeangu is so talented👏

Ik moet toegeven, de eerste keer dat ik dit nummer luisterde voelde ik er niet wat bij en vond het een beetje saai. maar hoe vaker ik het luister, hoe mooier ik hem vind! Kippenvel nu 😍👌🏻

Lyrics: When I'm sad, I am unreasonable Just like a little kid, mad at the world When I'm alone, I am defenseless Just like the boy I was, afraid in the dark Don't take it personally, don't be offended Don't mind my mood changing like the weather God knows I tried to hold it all together Oh, I'm getting older and it ain't what I thought it would be Wide awake, the planet spins around A little too fast for me most of the time Lost control, my thoughts are flickering Just like satellites, lost in the sky Don't take it personally, don't be offended Don't mind my mood changing like the weather God knows I've tried to hold it all together I'm getting older and it ain't what I thought it would be One day I'll find Some peace of mind And then I'll stop being afraid I won't make it through the night The more I learn, the less I know Through every high and every low Oh, oh, the more I learn (Grow) The less I know (Grow) Through every high and every low (Grow) I'll grow, oh-oh The more I learn (Grow) The less I know (Grow) Through every high and every low (Grow) I'll grow, oh-oh

The live version here gave me goosebumps!

Live is het stukken mooier dan de videoclip. Ge-wel-dig emotioneel.

The message is so simple yet deeply relatable.

Vocally and Lyrically pretty damn good and as a song, I think I prefer this to 'Arcade'. It deserves to do well but I only wish the gopelly ending was a little longer.

First time listening and directly touching as a beautiful written and sung song. It’s a winner 👍🏼

What a Marvelous Performance, Song and Artist!!! Thank you and so Congratulations NPO, THE NETHERLANDS and of course JEANGU MACROOY!!! I'm on my knees for yours, My Top1 and Winners due to this Performance😍😍😍 from Spain with love, respect and proud of your Entry🇪🇸🇳🇱

This is Amazing!!! 😅😛😘😅😛😭🙀🖤🙏🙏 Bless The Netherlands. 🇳🇱 We Are Gonna Win This Again.

This song was absolutely amazing. Really sad he couldn’t replicate another great song this year.

Although I think this won't win, im still very proud of this entry.. if your reading this and feel like the song is a bit boring and slow, listen to it like three or four times and you will appreciate it more🙏 good luck Jeangu🇳🇱

That voice😍😍😍

The best song so far 💥

Is it weird to say i get Marvin Gaye vibes from Jeangu his voice, its so smooth, so comforting and warm at the same time.

Yes...yes!! This is what I was hoping for!! Live beats the clip version!!

Incredible voice , great message .Whenever I heard , Its moves my heart. My absolute fav to win the contest 😭❤️

Ik was gisteravond moe, en half in slaap aan het vallen op de bank..... het wachten op je lied hield mij wakker. Net ontwaakt en inmidddels verhuist naar het bed. Maar nu meer wakker, oortjes in en luisteren. OMG dit is zoooooo recht in het hart weer ❤️. En zo herkenbaar gezien mijn eigen levensavonturen. Alsof Jeangu mij omarmt, mij troost en het voor mij zingt....... Ik heb ooit een drukke veilinghal muisstil gekregen met sacrifice van Anouk te zingen. En verdomd als men de tekst goed meekrijgt, het visuele plaatje past dan raakt Jeangu die hele zaal...... de kunst is ook het stukje stilte erna behouden zoals Nico dat zo goed zei in DWDD. Dank je wel Jeangu voor wat het lied alleen al doet voor mij ❤️🙏

Hoe vaker je dit nummer hoort hoe mooier hij is en het bezorgt je dan kippenvel

Very beautiful! This really stands out. Pure from the heart. With the right staging this could fill the hearts of eurovision!

WoW wat is dit schitterend mooi. Heb kippenvel over mij hele lichaam en de tranen staan in me ogen . Dit pakt me enorm . Wat een stem wat een zanger wat een stem . Dit is pure kwaliteit en mogen daar verschrikkelijk trots op zijn.

It really hurts that this song isn't going to be heard this year, but the song will definitely be remembered ❤️❤️❤️ That is the reason I posted a cover of Grow on my channel 💜💜💜

Jeangu het is werkelijk PRACHTIG en ONTROEREND MOOI, gefeliciteerd met GROW!

Live.... even better!!!!! Mesmerizing. Masterpiece!

1 word; masterpiece 🇳🇱

More than amazing! We're gonna win Eurovision 2021!! Lekker Jeangu :D

Where words fail, music 🎶 speaks. It speaks of the pain, of the sorrow, of the lost, of the life we live. It shares emotions. It's a way to connect, to understand what others feel. Where words fail, music speaks. It tells the truth whether you want it to or not. Music shares the souls of those we're around, of those in the world. ❤

Jeangu ... live klinkt grow nog beter. wat een fantastisch mooi lied gaf je ons!!

I hope they win again. Love the song and they should also get a second chance to host the eurovision.

In Rotterdam op het podium gaat hij werkelijk iedereen inpakken let maar op mijn woorden. Op naar een volgende overwinning. Absoluut een waardige opvolger voor onze Duncan.

Wat een krachtig lied❤❤❤ Eerste keer vond ik het nummer al mooi maar begin het steeds mooier te vinden !!! ❤❤❤❤

Jeangu je bent echt uniek je valt op 😍 succes 😎

We only need Oprah to tweet about his song, so Jeangu can give Dadi a run for his money!

Absolutely magical live. Emotional artwork. Unique.

This is soooooo beautiful. The video was great but the live version is breathtaking. His voice is ear piercing! The building of the song has now more impact due to the music and backing vocals compare to the video. I was worried about the end because it is abrupt. While you are just in a positive flow. But the reverberation after the last note is truly masterful. Jeangu stops singing but the echo of his voice lingers. So beautiful. I read a lot of criticism that it takes too long before the song builds up and that viewers drop out. With this version - the high female voice at 1:26 wow! - people keep watching. With a good staging, this song can become the big surprise of ESC2020. Good luck The Netherlands!

What a great song

Voor het eerst zijn stem in de Passion gehoord en ik was gelijk verkocht. Deze zanger zingt vol passie en soul en zal beslist hoge ogen gooien op het Songfestival.

Ciary ciary i łzy. Music that touches the soul. Absolutely special. 12 points from Poland.

This is so beautiful !!

Winner 2019 The Netherlands 2020 winner The Netherlands again😃👍

Prachtig! En perfecte uitvoering. Wauw. Achtergrondzangers ook meer dan geweldig. Kippenvel!

OMG live even better! Sooooo beautiful!!! ❤️💟💙

🇳🇱 (I love it its so good and better than last year I feel it - goosebumps - 😍🤩❤️👍)

it makes me want to personally thank whoever wrote this song. i've never been felt so relatable in a song lyrics before this. probably would go to netherlands someday just to watch Jeangu singing this song Live. this song is like a therapy for me. yes, the moods were changing uncontrollably like a weather, yes i tried to hold it all together. yes, getting older ain't what i thought it would be. Thank you for saying it out loud!

Soooo goood!!!!! It is growing🙏

Live is really beautifull😍
