Javine's self-penned Eurovision entry, 'Touch My Fire', is probably her best single so far, a modern pop song with a splash of the exotic - depending on who you talk to its influences ae variously Bollywood, Turkish or Greek, though the latter seems most plausible given the contribution of Greek-Cypriot co-writer John Themis.

 Soult.com Eurovision | 2006 | Netherlands
One of the original Eurovision countries, the Netherlands managed four victories in the first twenty years (such as Lenny Kuhr's forgettable 'De Troubadour' in 1969), but have had nothing since their last victory in 1975.
In truth, it was a rather ordinary song that sounded very similar to 1999's 'One good reason'; being the first song after the advert break (when many televoters are still in the kitchen or bathroom) probably didn't help.
There are inevitable comparisons with 'Sanomi' in the song's use of made-up language (plus English), but it's certainly distinctive both as a song and as a presentation, with the girls kneeling at the front of the stage to play their bongos and guitars.
