Bernadette (born Bernadette Kraakman; 1 March 1959) is a Dutch singer, best known for her participation in the 1983
Eurovision Song Contest.
Bernadette was not a well-known name when she took part with two songs in the 1983 Dutch Eurovision selection, but she emerged the narrow victor (by just one point) with "
Sing Me a Song", which despite the title was sung in Dutch.[1][2] She went forward to the 28th
Eurovision Song Contest, held in
Munich on 23 April, where "Sing Me a Song" finished a solid seventh of the 20 entries.[3]
Following her unsuccessful partnership with Ingrid Simons in the duo Double Trouble in 1986, Bernadette became a
voiceover and backing singer, having worked with artists such as
Harry Slinger and
Rob de Nijs.[4]
Bernadette was the voice of Snow White in the Dutch dubbing of Walt Disney's
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and the Blue Fairy in the Dutch version of
Pinocchio.
