The last season of the Eurovision Song Contest was not the most successful for Belgium. A very mediocre performance that brought an equally poor result, which is why a national election was held this year.
This year’s representative of Belgium is Gustaph with the song Because of you.
I had to listen to this song several times to give a proper review. When I heard it for the first time, the impression was very bad, but after repeating it, I realized that it has positive elements.
The rhythm is very tempting, you want to get up and dance, and it has a very good disco vibe. I think this song can lift the atmosphere in Liverpool. However, we can say that this is a very generic song that we have heard many times, but I think that every Eurovision season should have one song like this, it should not be dominated by ballads.
Many fans don’t like this song, but I think it can be a potential surprise and win people over with each further listen. This is definitely not a candidate to win, but I think it will give good entertainment and show.
Honestly, I’m looking forward to this show in Liverpool, it’s a great energizer. My expectations are not high when it comes to reaching the finals. In recent years, Televote has not been very friendly to Belgium, so I don’t think Gustaph will make it to the finals, but at the same time I think he can be a surprise qualifier.
Everything will depend on those 3 minutes of performance and how the audience will react. Because of you is a much better song than last year’s selection by Belgium, so in this case I expect the unexpected. My rating for the song Because of you is 6.5/10.
