OMG this is amazing! Even the SWEDES realised this is a great track, the land of music 
Tack tack taaaaaaaaaack
Thank God it is in Swedish! I was wondering why it took her so long to come up with it.
When in Latvian, Turkish and Maltese?
Love to be sarcastic because it is such a horrible song. Who cares if it's in Swedish anyway...
I am.... Spechless. Do I have to say more? Oh, Yes!
In my opinion, this is a... (Sob!) - 
When I thought that the Netherlands had been sinking to THE LOWEST level ever, one of the many AWFUL Swedish dansbands had to drag this record further down. This is even more bad than Sieneke's version! 
Even more bad than "the Devils lullaby" from Russia and "the Kid" from the UK this year. And when it's THAT bad, then I'll rather ask for apocalypse... NOW! 
so bad!!!!!!!!!
Sieneke was wonderful and the song was so cute, but this version is HORRENDOUS!
Bye, bye cuteness - hello ultra danseband cheesiness!
What's with these cover versions of (almost) horrible Eurovision entries???? O.o
i think this was a great contribution of Netherlands for Eurovision, apart of the bad result!
I love the original version more!
But this is also great!!
This song deserve to be in the final.
Love it... And Ik ben verliefd was in my top-3...
Clearly, the world needed this, just like it needed Stalin, AIDS, and prolapsed anuses.
oh I was sure it would come from somewhere..it pops in the most predictable times LOL..!
this version is nice but I still prefer the dutch one. (:
It is absolutely fantastic! I love this as well as the original version. 
Exactly CC Catch. Screw the juries LOL
sieneke finished 11th in her semi-final missing the top10 by only 4 points!
it fits it just perfect ! I liked sieneke in first place but that's a great version..!
And is ik ben verliefd going to be the most covered dutch entry ? strange..! especially considering its success in the contest !
FABULOUS!!!!!!!
I understand the swedish version, yay
The horror, the horror...
That Swedish cover version is much better than the original version, but still too bad and childish!
