I really hope Rotterdam is going to host Eurovision. And I have to agree with William on all points against Amsterdam. Plus Amsterdam is already super crowded.
And the reality is, most of the places in North and South Holland are very well connected. Rotterdam to Schiphol airport is less than half an hour Intercity train. Heathrow to London or Malpensa to Milan takes longer.

I hope Arnhem
Who is in Post Eurovision Dépression ? 😩😩😩😩😩
We're trying to keep the flame burning!
I think that is a ‘yes’ for me 🥺😩
I am for sure. ..
You need Zero Gravity...
I'm still shocked Italy didn't get the win :(
Expand Your Horizons - Eurovision 2020 slogan. Sold!
Great idea actually.
Hey Makinder! lol. Didn't even think about that but you're right - the Dutch are known for their wide thinking!
Getting High is much better 😂😂
@@escvegi2076 uh no! 👎👎👎
hows about explore the possibilities
William and Deban are two types of Eurofans:
▪"Hold it in the capital and biggest city"
▪"NO! Give it to the provinces!!"
😅😅😅😅
I think Amsterdam is not as excited as Rotterdam. If you give Rotterdam a chance they will blow everyone away in Ahoy!
Amsterdam above Rotterdam in anyway !
Martin Tosh Or Arnhem in the Gelredome (Qlimax concerts) !
@@e.p.5678 Every Dutch city above Rotterdam in any way. ;)
DO IT IN ROTTERDAM, i live in Amsterdam and it is WAY TOO CROWDED. Just go to Rotterdam, everything is easy accesible
Exactly. Isn't Amsterdam actively discouraging tourists from coming? And they're trying to envigorate Rotterdam. So Rotterdam makes perfect sense
@Philip Barnard Maybe you have been in your hotelroom all the time, or maybe it was years ago. I have seldom seen a city that has developed such a lot in the last few years. Especially cause they built a lot of new apartments in the city centre. Til 10 years ago, the Rotterdam city centre was a place of office buildings. In the evening it was rather empty Now all the new inhabitants come down from their high buildings to have fun and that hasn't remained unnoticed. A lot of good atmosphere. Full of terraces in spring and summer. Also a explosion of new tourists. I can't walk in the streets without hearing a lot of different European languages. Rotterdam has become touristic too, but in a nice way, and without being a made up place.
No
Does Deban think everything that’s not Amsterdam is an armpit? 🙄 Sounds like something someone from Amsterdam would say. 😂
Rotterdam 2020 🇳🇱
Greetings from Tilburg honeyyyyyy.
HELLLLO TILBURG! How nice to hear from you!
Even his shade against Düsseldorf, lol :D Düsseldorf is just slightly smaller than Amsterdam, but he acts like Amsterdam is some sort of gigantic metropole and Düsseldorf is an empty village :D
Cee77 yaaaasss Queen
Most cities are great. Tilburg, Rotterdam, Emmen and Almere are just the worst.
Ad a Dutch i absolute agree with William. Deban its shortsided to exclude any other city to host
You are so right William! It doesn't matter where it is, we will party anyway!
Amsterdam is very tourist cliché. Rotterdam portrays the future and culture way better. anyone for Rotterdam vote like. ❤
Rotterdam is the most culturally diverse and progressive city in the Netherlands, there's a close proximity to Schiphol (20 minutes by train), and has it's own airport (The Hague International Airport). Where Amsterdam symbolizes the history of the Netherlands, Rotterdam represents it's future. Rotterdam has been listed in countless publications as one of their favorite city's in most recent years. Good food, friendly people, gorgeous achitecture, hotels, clubs, etc. And if people want to combine their trip to Holland and Eurovision in Rotterdam with a visit to Amsterdam, it's only 40 minutes by train! Amsterdam is over crowded and the Netherlands is more then just Amsterdam, Eurovision would be a great opportunity to showcase what else the country has to visit!!! Deban... let it go!
@Dila Lolita haha bijna alle niet Amsterdammers vinden dat het in Rotterdam (of in ieder geval niet in Amsterdam) gehouden moet worden
Rotterdam seems a good choice.
Really exciting. I've never been and it's sooo close!
"Don't use my two weeks to showcase your village"
"Go on holiday on your own time, okay?"
Things like these made my day :D You guys are impossible :)
"Don't use your two weeks to showcase your village" omg Deban's comments had me in stitches
I love you Deban, but respectfully disagree. Amsterdam is far to busy it really is. Rotterdam or Utrecht are beautiful too. Personally I like Utrecht even more.
Utrecht would be Awesome. Also very accesable for the Dutch fans.
Ziggo dome would be dope. Ahoy Rotterdam would be awesome too! :) Rotterdam has Schiphol and Rotterdam Airport! Amsterdam had enough attention in the past years , ROTTERDAM 2020!!!
I live in between Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht and The Hague so I’m fine with any of those!!
Which city do you live in
Alperen Sener Alphen aan den Rijn, who have actually suggested our kids disco as a venue 😂
@@GabyvantHart wat? Serieus?😂
I'm all pro Rotterdam✌
William here saying Dank U! This is going to be exciting...
Rotterdam central is just 24 minutes away from Schiphol airport (by train)
“If I want organic food I’ll go to Albert Heijn” .... this is all I wanted from this Eurovision win for the Netherlands
I MISS THE SHOW AND HYPE SO BADLY, THANK GOD FOR WIWIBLOGGS for this post Eurovision depression
I am from Amsterdam but life in Rotterdam. I have walked a lot in both cities. I think that Rotterdam is a better fit for the Eurovision. Transportation is way better in Rotterdam and also there is more space for tourists. Duncan is if I'm not mistaken from a place that is close to Rotterdam. So, I think that that is also nice for him.
Duncan lives in Amersfoort now
@@mandarintomato9205 true but he is from Spijkenisse
Amsterdam or Rotterdam are the best places to host it in my opinion
i’m pretty disappointed you guys didn’t even mention Maastricht, though did put it in your description. Maastricht is a beautiful city and has the infrastructure to host esc. Also, I’m gonna disagree with Deban here, Amsterdam genuinely isn’t the best option we have. IF we rule out Maastricht though, my vote would go to Rotterdam.
~but let’s be real here no matter where it takes place, i’m still attending lmao~
escstefan nah sis if it’s in Leeuwarden i’m out i’m not going from Tilburg all the way to the other side of the country 🤧
@@virgolix3025 you don't have to, nobody forces you.
Im Dutch and we have so many beautiful citys
No matter where the Eurovision is
Its gonna be a awesome show 2020 Eurovision
This is the first time that I have to disagree with Deban. Please do your homework, like you usually do.
5:35 Teach those kids William 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
hahaha, thank you. Am really excited to see how the Dutch play their hosting. Like a few years ago I would never have thought this would happen but now they can seize the moment!
Yeah, no Amsterdam please. We also have Formula 1 race in Zandvoort next Year, near Amsterdam, around the same periode as the Eurovision. That part will be packed. The Hague is hosting the Invictus Games next year. Although I am from The Hague, my vote goes to Rotterdam.
M Rijke Why is that a potential? Any venue will sell out anyway
It going to be either Amsterdam or Rotterdam. No doubt!
Hope it will not be, but think Rotterdam has the best chances with Ahoy. Maastricht is much better to showcase the Netherlands.
4:33 i loved how William tried to pronounce my home town :DDD
Hihi I laughed too. Makes me wonder what he would have made of the name "Liouwert".
If we do have it in Rotterdam, how about Deban just stay at home as he clearly thinks anything that isnt Amsterdam is an armpit. 🤨
I second that!
Well he ain't wrong, stop wining provincialen.
@@zanano7717 lol interesting that you think Rotterdam, Utrecht etc are provincialen.
YEAH i still cant bellieve that we are going to host this Amazing event and that dutch accent is one POINT and think we will do an Amazing contest next year i just cant wait for the 2020 season .
Congratulations to you and your countrymen and countrywomen! It's really exciting. We can't wait to see how the Dutch do this.
Also airports near Eindhoven, Maastricht and also Rotterdam
And technically Groningen, but our only suitable venue is a basketball stadium
Let it be Rotterdam🇳🇱 it's also Duncan's favourite to host Eurovision2020 so... 😉
Zeky S Good point 😻
The Ziggo Dome has a capacity of 17.000, but it has barely any room for press. The nearby AFAS Live, the current venue for Eurovision in Concert, could serve as a press centre.
Ahoy Rotterdam is a bit smaller (serves an audience of 15.800), but has enough space for a press centre within the building. Duncan is from the region of Rotterdam, so this would make his family and friends proud. And it would be the very first Eurovision in the harbour city.
Realllly good point about him being from near Rotterdam. I totally forgot that. That would be nice for him to literally bring it home.
I honestly think it shouldn't be in Amsterdam. It is already really busy and people sometimes think Amsterdam is everything The Netherlands has to offer, which is not true. That's why I think it should be hosted somewhere else. I would love for it to be in Rotterdam or Leeuwarden. Even The Hague would be okay, 'cause that's my favorite Dutch city.
Agreed, i think Rotterdam is a good option.
@cool man I did say I would love for it to be Rotterdam. In fact, it's my number one pick.
Although I loved your videos this season, I just realized that I missed the videos with only both of you. Thank you for your updates!
Mel T ❤️❤️❤️💥💥🥀🙏🙏🙏
I've been to the Ziggo Dome in Febuary to an concert from Ilse DeLange! It was huuuge and amazing! Would love to see eurovision there😍
Ziggo is cool, but Ahoy is too and has a lot of co-halls to offer in the same building, very fit for e.g. press-centre , Euroclub, etc. Unfortunately, Ziggo lacks that.
omg, 'goededag!' that was really good! HAHA
We were literally on TH-cam listening to different pronunciation videos hahaha. Dutch is SOOOOOOO hard for us.
@@Wiwibloggs you did such a good job!
Honestly though, love deban, but his comments are very obnoxious. Like Amsterdam is the only good place to stay in in the Netherlands and the rest are just villages...
Yes, but maybe he can't help he is badly informed. The only information many tourists have got is that about Amsterdam. That there are a lot of other places that have developed a lot, often remains unnoticed.
But he says he has been to a lot of other places. Plus, uninformed does not have to mean rude...
true
As a Dutchie, I think it's between Rotterdam, Utrecht and Maastricht
Is "Dutchie" politically correct? It sounds wrong.
@@Fatima502 Why? It's not our official designation of course, but I don't see it as politically charged in any way.
It's a tiny country, it doesn't matter the city! You can cross the country by driving a couple of hours 😁
The way William‘s saying Leeuwarden is awesome. It‘s a 10 minute ride from me, so I hope it will be there
hahaha, apologies for my DUtch!
'don't use my 2 weeks to showcase your village' lols!
Whatever Netta says the next host city is, that won't be.
Jerusalem? Nope. Tel Aviv
Amsterdam? Nope. I hope it's Rotterdam...
I do agree with both sides, Amsterdam being the most logistical but, with the tourism board as William has said is advising to avoid the Dutch capital due to the fact that May is one of the busiest tourist months for the city, you also have the Dutch Grand Prix which runs from the first two weeks of May and I believe they also host a UEFA Champions League game as well so Amsterdam is going to be packed, the flights are going to be racked up to at least 65% above the usual fare and full of randy sweaty semi drunk football fans and to quote Sweet Brown "ain't nobody got time for that".
My personal choices are Arnhem's GelreDome, a massive arena similar to Dusseldorf's Esprit but unlike Dusseldorf Arnhem is easy to get to as you can board the train straight from Schipol Airport and shouldn't take more than a hour between journeys.
Rotterdam is my other alternative choice to host as the Ahoy Rotterdam has previous experience with hosting an Eurovision event (Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2007) also it has these interconnecting halls which could be utilised to facilitate the Green Rooms, Press Centre, Interview Areas and so on and with the largest of these halls being a capacity of over 15,000 spacing certainly ain't a issue and rather conveniently you can fly straight there as Rotherham The Hague Airport is served my many airlines and cities and also is significantly cheaper then flying into Amsterdam like William stated.
Even though I do think that Amsterdam would make a good host it would just be to hectic to organise with that many people and so many other high profile events going on within the city at the time Eurovision starts.
Just my two cents what do you think let me know in the comments below.
Rotterdam has been in so many top ten lists of "cities you must visit" over the last years. It's one of the most vibrant, innovative, modern contemporary, cool cities in Europe it's got everything....
Screw Amsterdam... Rotterdam is where it’s at people! Amsterdam is such a tourist spot it is not the real Netherlands anymore.. it’s a strange city compared to other cities. Rotterdam is much more interesting 👌🏻
I would not call Rotterdam more interesting. But it is more practical.
Honestly, there are too many tourists in Amsterdam. I can barely breath anymore
I'm Dutch but Deban is killing me in this video 😂 I love you Deban
Deban is just too much 😂😂😂 Keep up the good work, guys!
How cool to actually see all of this speculation about our country for once xD
and to hear you name all those city names, is just so funny to me.
Still can't even realise we won.
Congratulations! The year is YOURS!
@@Wiwibloggs Well, me neither 😂
It’s known for the organic food - life changing...
skajskskskskwkskdjdksksksks
Reminds of "Florals for springs...? Groundbreaking." 😂
Eric Toribio Hahaha, same energy for sure!
Deban, the train from Schiphol goes directly to Rotterdam in 40 minutes ;) Yes, it's not 15 to Amsterdam, but stil quite fast, it's faster than taking a tube from Heathrow to central London :)
No, it's even 25 minutes to Rotterdam with intercity direct!
As someone who loves to travel, I would love it to be in another city other than Amsterdam so I can explore some place new!
Leonie Sii You will be in another city...no way Amsterdam can host this. Read my other comment of all the activities in May 2020.
The bickering/ banter comes off as lighthearted and entertaining. You two have great chemistry!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I MISS DEBAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When Are The Misheard Lyrics Video Coming Out?
I just have a feeling the Netherlands will be the best hosts in years, they have great reputation and many talented people. I understand why they wouldn’t want to host in Amsterdam but for completely selfish reasons I hope it ends up there anyway.
They'll do a fabulous job. I have no doubt. We can't wait!
I would choose Utrecht, venue can be the Jaarsbeurshallen, that venue is 5 minutes walking from central station, plenty hotels around the station, city center and in some nearby areas like Lombok and Nieuwegein, Utrecht has a lot of museums, great nightlife, the famous Domtoren, and from Schiphol it is 25 minutes by train without delay
You guys are keeping me in the "Contest mood " 😂 I think it must be Rotterdam...and if that's for some reason not possible...Maastricht.I love Amsterdam...but it's too busy already.Sorry Deban,but I love your attitude here🤣
08:21 ''Don't use my two weeks to showcase your village''- Legend
Did not expect a new clip from you guys so fast. The Netherlands is more then Amsterdam city alone. Rotterdam would be very logical choice. Everything you need is there and Amsterdam is about 30 minutes away by train.
Eurovision 2020 needs to be held in Rotterdam!!! It’s a modern city, it’s multicultural, it’s hip and the city had a big and vribrant music-scene and ofcourse Duncan originates from the greater Rotterdam-region! Besides the fact that it’s around the corner for me!😂 Love from Gouda!
I do hope Netherlands will host perfectly in terms of the real meaning behind Eurovision !
Kamran Tagizade ....and what is the real meaning behind Eurovision..?
I’m Dutch and I want to go to the Eurovision grand final so bad but the tickets are probably very expensive😓😫
I would suggest going to one of the dress rehearsals, probably a little cheaper. And then watch the grand final out in whatever city they choose, which will be crowded with fans no doubt. The atmosphere will be similar and the show is usually more enjoyable through the screen!
Personally I would go for Rotterdam, I've never been there but it seems like a very nice city.
Anyway, I totally agree with William. Rotterdam is amazing. Gorgeous city, great places to wine and dine, water taxis, skyscrapers, multicultural, art, architecture and so on and so forth. Even Deban will have a good time there. Perhaps a good theme for Eurovicion 2020: 'Open Your Mind'.... Or hahahaha 'Welcome the Sheep' or 'Welcome to the Country' .... or just 'Welcome to Village Life' :-DDD
"Porto would be amazing too"
"No, Lisbon..."
BLOCKED.
(im kidding, i love you all)
Amsterdam is already out of the race. There are too many events in 2020. Rumour has it the ESC will be held in *Maastricht* !!
It will be Rotterdam 2020 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱
i hope so
I hope it will be Amsterdam because I live there. But I am fine with Rotterdam! I only hope it won’t be in Leeuwarden or Maastricht.
Have to correct you on the ballet-part around 8:55. Royal Conservatory (with it's dance-faculty) is in The Hague, National Ballet is in Amsterdam, in the City Hall to be exact.
First Eurovision 2020 VIDEO 🙌🏻😂😂
Hahahahah Deban has me dead 😂. I want Amsterdam as well, but I would understand if it went to Rotterdam. I will be there anyway!!
Haha... Let's host eurovision in Saba!! The airport cliff landing will shock everyone. 😂😂😂
Thank you for the shout out William!!! You guys are amazing and I absolutely loved meeting you!!! Hopefully I’m able to come back again and meet you again! Keep up the good work ❤️
Yesterday at a Dutch tv show it was stated that it is likely to be Rotterdam or Maastricht.
Rumours are spreading, because in Ahoy there is an event planned for the legit dates and they try to move this, so if that won’t work out, Maastricht might have the hunour
all my dutch friends hope that it will not be Amsterdam, because it is already filled with tourists 🙄🙄🙄
Bernd Konfuzius FOR real i really hope it will be in Rotterdam🥴
Love U guys! Already trying to speak Dutch 🇳🇱 and preparing for the greatest show on this planet in 2020!! The capital city usually will host this, and Amsterdam is my favorite city, but... I think Rotterdam Ahoy is the place to host Eurovision 2020!! Yess Deban you even can come with a boat 😊. Ahoy has different area's so the main stage, the pressroom, greenroom etc, will be no problem at all!! I vote for Rotterdam!! So... LET'S DO THISSSSS
Rotterdam deserves it
Lived in NL for three years and couldn't be happier to visit again
I don't know how long ago it was. But there have been a lot of changes the last few years, including the growth of tourism.
Guys, I had such a blast watching this video! :D This was the best ESC video ever :) Thank you 🤩
What if The Hague hosted the first semi final, Rotterdam hosted the second semi final and Amsterdam hosted the final? It would be Eurovision next level. (And hopefully not too costly)
Oh wow. That's a provocative idea! I heard of one host city considering that in the past but it didn't work out for logistical reasons.
wiwibloggs I think it would be great for the Netherlands and Eurovision plus it would be very enjoyable to watch as a viewer.
Reminded me of 2002 World Cup lmao..
Noooo! That would be an organisation nightmare. Think of all the things that could go wrong with equipment and sound systems and lighting
It made me so happy that you guys have visited places in The Netherlands other than Amsterdam
Fun fact!! The Dutch also arrived in Australia before the English!! It was called New Holland!! But it was the English that actually stayed and colonised it! Sometime I wish it was the Dutch that stayed!!
Love love love you guys!! I don't care who hosts the 2020 Eurovision, my partner and I have already set aside two weeks for May next year and we're coming the Netherlands, regardless of which city is hosting it!! This will also be our first Eurovision that we'll attend, so we're super excited!! And if we bump into you guys, it'll be a honour to meet you both, we love everything about you and your love of Eurovision!!
I was laughing so hard throughout this whole video, you 2 are such a funny duo
A word to Deben Rotterdam has proved it can host a Eurovision event as it has hosted Junior Eurovision Song Contest twice Deben so that's why I'm backing Rotterdam. Plus I personally would love to see a load of the acts in 2020 be interviewed on a train honey.
I need the Crimes video! 😂
I hope 's-Hertogenbosch, cuz I live there.
I needed this video, William and Deban having a good old explosive discussion loveee it
William and Deban we also have an airport in Rotterdam :)
Maastricht is a really big contender at the moment, the city furtest away from Amsterdam we have :p (and it has it's own airport :p)
Airport? Did you mean airfield? It has no direct connection to a single major city in Europe. But if you want to invite many inhabitants from the Greece islands Maastricht is the way to go :P
Breda/'s-Hertogenbosch/North Brabant 2020 💛🇳🇱🇪🇺💙
TILBUUUUUUUURG Where he wrote the winning song. But I think the Brabanthallen in Den Bosch would be a great venue as well
You have to look for Maastricht also, a very beautiful city with all the facilitys... 😊
We will do a special video on Maastricht. Everyone is now talking about it!
@@Wiwibloggs yessss. It's a 15 minutes train ride from my home. That would be awesome if it was hosted there.
I think it will be hosted in Rotterdam. The Ziggo Dome doesn't have enough extra spaces for the press and all other services. It's just a big hall. Ahoy does have all those extra spaces. And everone can fly to Rotterdam The Hague Airport.
Amsterdam is way too crowded and isn't the Netherlands anymore.
In my opinion the best choices are:
1. Rotterdam: Ahoy is big and Rotterdam is a beautiful city
2. Arnhem: The Gelredome is the biggest arena in the Netherlands with more than 30.000 places, and together with Nijmegen they have enough hotels etc. Besides that Gelderland is the most beautiful Provence of the Netherlands.
3. Maastricht: beautiful city, beautiful surrounding nature and a respectable arena and Maastricht has its own airport and is close to Belgium and Germany.
I'm fine with anything, as long as I can go this year, cuz it will be my first time actually going to Eurovision! Really good now that it is in my own country! :D
Deban: "So clearly it [Rotterdam] doesn't need that spotlight."
Does Amsterdam need it more than Rotterdam, though? With the oversaturation of tourists in Amsterdam and the Dutch tourism board wanting to showcase other parts of the Netherlands? 👀
I know! That comment rubbed me the wrong way
Amsterdam has officially withdrawn as host city of Eurovision 2020!
6:25 - the moment where william is just done
OT: bring it to Maastricht!
Maastricht would not be a bad choice for a city, just not sure where to hold it. MECC? Probably it is big enough, do not know for sure though.
Has an airport that is good, close to Germany, Belgium for some foreign visitors.
I’d love rotterdam i live 15 minuets away from the hull ferry port so it would make life easier for me potentially going
No-one:
Deban: But Alexander Rybak opened his semi-final and won it
I prefer Rotterdam:
1. Duncan's hometown is close to Rotterdam and Rotterdam is a special place for him.
2. Rotterdam is not the capital city of the Netherlands.
Den Bosch...it's near Tilburg where Duncan flourished and wrote the winning song. Thank you
Not only arena or press center counts, they also need enough hotel rooms, that is often a huge factor, because smaller cities cannot provide that... And comparing it to ESC 20 years ago in Brighton doesn't really work, because the ESC back then was a MUCH smaller event.
I am a eurovision fan for yearsss and now that we have won Eurovision and the fact I finally live in Amsterdam IT HAS TO BE IN AMSTERDAM. THANK YOU
