You could call it much ado about a headdress. 21 year old Joan Franka’s You & Me certainly caused a stir when she performed it last month, notably due to her sporting a Native American chieftain’s headdress.

We discussed the song, the performance and that headdress with Tim Fisher of Euro Hit 40–who was there on the night as part of the international advisory jury–and William Lee Adams, Editor-in-chief of Wiwi Bloggs, who, like Hikaru, is also an American.

Andy & Hikaru also talk to Tim Fisher about the Dutch history in the contest and how the Nationaal Songfestival this year has been revamped after being mostly pushed to the side previously.
