Belgium - First selections for semi-finals

We will have to wait for another 7 weeks before knowing who will represent Belgium but yesterday we already had the first selection round with first 5 candidates.

Following 2 will go to the first semi-finals :

Brahim - What I like about you (finished 2nd place)



Highest quality, but probably no real 'Eurovision' song (although Germany got good points with 'similar' style last year)

Katy Satyn - Magical Sensation (finished 1st place)



Complete show - will need a bit more practice on the singing but contains all 'eurovision' elements.


After the 4 selection rounds for the semi-finals another 2 songs could get a wild card from the jury.
I hope Betty 'Femme Fatale' will get one. Even if she can't sing, maybe the only way for Belgium to get some points is to send such a 'show' :

Maybe Malta thinks that singing about Vodka will help them to get a lot of points from Eastern European countries ;-)

ANDORRA

Gisela - CASANOVA - Eurovision 2008
Andorra

canadaguy said...
good voice but I think they are missing a lot of interest by not having a full version or is it that they don't want everyone to notice that it is not much of a song?
January 22, 2008 7:10 PM


Michel. said...
Very simple. If she sings very good and brings a very good show, this could give her some points ... but .. I'm afraid it won't. Depends on all other songs/shows.

Paolo Meneguzzi - ERA STUPENDO - Eurovision 2008

canadaguy said...
I know the lyrics aren't much to write home about but the music is nice, he has a great voice and puts his heart into his performance.My fav so far:-)

Michel. said...
One of the best songs ever sent by Switzerland. Very nice voice and cute face but not enough energy in the song to ensure people keep it in mind for voting.

ERA STUPENDO

C’è una parte di me
che tacere non sa
quando guardo l’odio che c’è
il dolore, la povertà
mi rivedo bambino io
che correvo nel blu
Era stupendo volare via, sfidare il tempo, la fantasiala
tua mano e la mia, nella stessa poesia ,
era stupendo
Ma una notte vedraid
al destino uscirò, lo giuro
se la vita ci aspetterà
torneremo laggiù
Sarà stupendo volare via,sfidare ancora il tempo,la fantasiae
poi la tua mano e la mia, nella stessa poesia
era stupendo, era stupendo
perchè non c’è pace finchè
tutti pensano a sè
era stupendo volare via, sfidare il tempo,la fantasia
la tua e la mia, nella stessa poesia.
era stupendo, era stupendo


IT WAS WONDERFUL (PAOLO MENEGUZZI)

There's a part of me
That can't keep quiet
I see there's rancour
Pain, poverty
I see myself again as a child

Who ran on blue
It was wonderful to fly away

To challenge the wind, the fantasy
Your hand and mine
In the same poem
It was wonderful
But some night you'll see

I'll run away from destiny,
I swearIf life will wait for us
We'll return down there
It will be wonderful to fly away
To challenge again the fantasy
And then your hand and mine
In the same poem
It was wonderful
It was wonderful
Because there's no peace

As long as everyone thinks of himself
It was wonderful to fly away

To challenge the wind, the fantasy
Your hand and mine
In the same poem
It was wonderful
It was wonderful
