Gordon wrote words for Euro song entry
Monday 02 February 2009
The song Shine, which will represent the Netherlands at the Eurovision Song Contest in May, was partly written by Gordon, one of the singers performing it.
Shine won 48% of the public's vote in a tv contest. Gordon wrote the lyrics under the pseudonym Ger van de Westelaken.
TV personality Gordon and popular singers Rene Froger and Jeroen van der Boom are representing the Netherlands as a trio under the name De Toppers in this year's competition.

The only thing I am unhappy about the Eurovision Song Contest is that the use of English, in the Eurovision Song Contest increases year by year.
As a native English speaker I think this is unfair!
It's certainly time to break the habit of "language imperialism", in the Eurovision Song Contest, and use a song, sung in Esperanto instead!
This is a serious suggestion, as you can see from the Esperanto music which is already available at http://www.vinilkosmo.com/?prs=listen or at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8837438938991452670
There's even cheesy Esperanto music available! See http://www.ipernity.com/home/56084
