| abstract | - Frizzle Sizzle were a Dutch teenage girlband who represented the Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest 1986 in Bergen, Norway with the song Alles heeft ritme, which finished in 13th place. In 1990 they broke up but not before lending their voices to the Herman van Veen-created cartoon series "Alfred J Kwak" and releasing the World Cup-themed "Alles Is Oranje". The girls remained active in showbusiness. Karin went on to have a career in television. Laura pursued a solo career and lived with boyband singer-turned-musical actor Bastiaan Ragas. She also does Dutch voice-overs and songs for many characters in animated movies. She voiced Gloria in "Madagascar", Princess Jasmine in "Aladdin", Thumbelina in "Thumbelina", Robyn Starling in "Tom and Jerry: The Movie" and Ariel in "The Little Mermaid". In 1992 she participated in the Dutch heat of the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Gouden Bergen" ("Gold Mountains"), but it finished as runner-up. In 1999 Laura appeared on RTL's live-music programme "De Vrienden van Amstel" where she performed three songs backed by Dutch-Moluccan percussion-rockers Massada. Mandy Huydts became a backing vocalist for arena-filling megastar Rene Froger but released her own material in between commitments. Marjon Keller, now hosting radio-shows as well as doing voice-overs for RTL, always insisted on not being lived by stardom.
