The Hague hosted Eurovision 1976 in Congresgebouw with former winner Corry Brokken presenting the show. Sandra Reemer returned with "The Party's Over" finishing 9th. The country slumped to three non top-tens after, "De mallemolen" with Heddy Lester, 12th, "'t Is OK" with Harmony, 13th, and the band Xandra, once again with Sandra Reemer, with "Colorado", finishing 12th. The congresbouw returned to host 1980 contest after Israel declined hosting after winning twice in a row and withdrew, because the date of the contest coincided with their Remembrance Day. Rogier van Otterloo made a debut as a conductor. Maggie MacNeal returned "Amsterdam". The song would be the last internally selected song until 2013. The song led the voting after first three twelve points from four countries. The song later slipped to fifth. Linda Williams went to Eurovision Song Contest 1981 with "Het is een wonder". Finished 7th. A year later The Millionaires's "Fantasie eiland" controversially missed the ticket because expert juries sent "Jij en ik" with Bill van Dijk. The English trio Tight Tit covered the song as Fantasy Island, which became a top 5 hit in The United Kingdom. In 1982 "Fantasie eiland" went on to win the OGAE Second Chance Contest. Germany's five points led "Jij en ik" to finished third last. The 1983 Nationaal Songfestival is also seen as dramatic. Vulcano's Een beetje van dit tied with Bernadette's "Sing Me a Song" before the last set of the jury votes gave Bernadette one point and Vulcano none, which sent her to Munich. The Netherlands finished 7th. After almost winning the Nationaal Songfestival in 1981, Maribelle represented the country in 1984 with"Ik hou van jou", the entry finished 13th before the first ever withdrawn in 1985 due to the Remembrance of the Dead.
