Ik ben ran (Sha-la-lie)
Ik ben ran (Sha-la-lie) was the Dutch contribution to the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 in Norway . The song that can be assigned to the hit was performed there by Sieneke . However, it failed in the semifinals of the Eurovision Song Contest 2010.
Versions
A demo version was presented at the end of 2009, which contains a different line of text compared to the final version. It was sung by the author himself, Pierre Kartner .
In the preliminary round, five different versions of the song were presented by five different singers:
- Sieneke sang a barrel organ version.
- Vinzzent performed the song in a jazz version, it contains an additional stanza.
- The girls' group Loekz performed a variant in which, among other things, an oriental bagpipe can be heard.
- Peggy Mays was assisted by a flautist during her performance .
- Marlous got a version in which an accordion can be heard; from the author's point of view, this was the best version.
Different "own" versions can also be found on different video platforms. There was also a parody by De Mosselman .
criticism
After the song was presented as the official contribution of the ESC, the song was criticized negatively by the Dutch press and the population, on the grounds that the song was "too old" for the modern music world.
The voting system in the preliminary decision, National Song Festival 2010 , also led to criticism. Four jurors, including Johnny Logan , gave their favorite one vote each, and there was also one vote for the studio audience's favorite. After two jurors each voted for Sieneke and Loekz and the audience vote for Vinzzent did not result in a decision, Pierre Kartner had to choose between Sieneke and Loekz. After initially refusing to make a decision and even wanting to determine the winner by flipping a coin, he probably chose Sieneke at random.
Plagiarism allegation
Composer Pierre Kartner has been accused of using the melody of the 1994 song Angelien by the Dutch musician Dick van Altena . This suspicion became known less than a month after the victory in the Dutch preliminary round. In early May 2010, however, it was announced that van Altena had contributed to the song and agreed to use a slightly modified melody from his song.
Eurovision Song Contest 2010
Sieneke performed the song on May 27, 2010 in the second semifinals of the Eurovision Song Contest. There it only reached 11th place with 47 points, but was still ahead of two of the ten later final qualifiers due to an additional jury decision.
Charts
The song came in at number 12 in the Nederlandse Top 40 . He also rose to number one in the Dutch Top 100 single . It was the first contribution in the Netherlands that also achieved first place in its own country .
Cover versions
So far there have been three official cover versions, a German version sung by Sebastian Charelle , a Swedish version sung by the band Drifters and that by the Coelln Girls.
Others
The song was totally used as the goal anthem of the Netherlands at the "Autoball World Cup" by TV .
