Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest

Belgium has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest since its inception in 1956. The country achieved its first top-three placement in 1978, when Jean Vallée’s “L’amour ça fait chanter la vie” secured second place. In 1986, Belgium won the contest with Sandra Kim’s “J’aime la vie,” marking its only victory to date. Another notable result came in 2003, when Urban Trad’s “Sanomi” finished as the runner-up, just two points behind the winner.

In the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest, Belgium was represented by Mustii with the song “Before the Party’s Over.” The entry competed in the second semi-final but did not advance to the grand final, placing 13th with 18 points.

Throughout its Eurovision history, Belgium has employed various methods for selecting its entries, including national finals and internal selections. The country has presented songs in multiple languages, such as Dutch, French, English, and even constructed languages. Belgium’s results have varied over the years, with periods of both high placements and early eliminations.

Vienna 12 points: Jonas Lovv Asked To Tone Down Performance

📷 EBU/Alma Bengtsson According to Norwegian broadcaster NRK, the concern was not about the song itself, but about parts of the performance being considered too suggestive for a family audience. VG reports that the feedback focused on repeated crotch-grabbing and thrusting-style movements, some of which were improvised rather than part of the planned choreography. Jonas Lovv will represent Norway in the second semi-final on Thursday 14 May. He is set to close the show as the 15th act in the running order. Therefore, the Norwegian team still has time to adjust the staging before viewers see it on television. The warning has not led to panic in the Norwegian camp. Lovv has reacted with humour, while also making clear that he takes the EBU’s message seriously. Head of delegation Mads Tørklep said Norway will follow the rules and make the number more family friendly. Lovv earned his Eurovision ticket by winning Melodi Grand Prix earlier this year. His entry “YA YA YA” brings rock energy, strong vocals and a highly physical stage presence to the Wiener Stadthalle. As a result, the performance has already become a talking point during rehearsals. For now, the changes appear to be small adjustments rather than a complete overhaul. Eurovision viewers should still expect an intense and confident Norwegian performance. However, with slightly less emphasis on the movements that sparked the warning. If Norway qualifies, Lovv will return for the Grand Final on Saturday 16 May. The situation adds another storyline to Eurovision week, as artists balance personal expression with the contest’s broadcast guidelines for viewers across Europe. source: NRK
