Belgium 2023
Gustaph
Because of You


The NS lineup has been announced. The 7 shortlisted acts are:
Ameerah
Chérine
gala dragot
Gustaph
Hunter Falls
Loredana
The Starlings

Loredana is not to be confused with Romanian Loredana. Imagine the gag if both Loredanas are in Eurovision kink.gif The Starlings is another big name that you could recall.

Final lineup for the final tomorrow night - all of these are on streaming.

Ameerah - The Carnival
Chérine - ca m'ennuie pas
Gala Dragot - t'inquiete
Gustaph - Because Of You
Hunter Falls - Ooh La La
Loredana - You Lift Me Up
The Starlings - Rollercoaster

Cherine is definitely the fan fave but I'm not sold on the Flemish public voting for a song in French enough to overcome the name power The Starlings will have over the others.

Either Cherine or Gala Dragot would be an amazing pick but I wouldn't hate the Starlings getting picked either, as much as it feels like a retread of 'heartfelt duet singing to each other' song that occurs relatively often.

Chérine's song is As It Was sped up in a major key.


And I have it on loop w00t.gif

Flanders once again proving Wallonia is the superior one when it comes to Eurovision. Gustaph is going to Liverpool. Guess I'll be rooting for The Netherlands instead laugh.gif

That's it. I'm no longer following national selections any more. Too disappointing when the song I like is booted out in favour or something average.

I heard Chérine's song yesterday and instantly loved it, so just knew it wouldn't get through laugh.gif As if she came 4th though!

Gustaph sounds like...a non-qualifier. It's like an early 00s Eurovision flop if it had been produced by Alex Party in 1995, bizarre.

It's growing on me. Chérine's staging was awful.

Chérine and Loredana were my favourites, so given they weren't close to winning in the end, I'm finding it hilarious how wrong this went and how The Starlings were beaten by one point.

This is camp. Actually found it quite enjoyable… But, the staging and costume design need work.

My rating:

1. t'inquete (9/10)
2. The Carnival (8/10)
3. Ooh La La (8/10)
4. ARMAGEDDON (7/10)
5. Ça m'ennuie pas (6/10)
6. Oceanside (6/10)
7. Emotion Ollie (6/10)
8. Dream In Colours (6/10)
9. You Lift Me Up (5/10)
10. Because of You (5/10)
11. Mon étoile (5/10)
12. HOME (5/10)
13. Rollercoaster (5/10)
14. The Nail (4/10)

Top 5 rating: 7.6/10
Overall rating: 6.07/10

Because of You is quite meh. I fear Ça m'ennuie pas is overrated. Team Gala Dragot! The Starlings should've picked Oceanside.

This is actually my jam tbh. Let's be real, Gustaph is all of us in 20-30 years time and here he is delivering the best Belgian entry since Blanche.

Love this - very UK-esque too so could do well on charts if not in the contest itself
