There was jubilation among the Belgian delegation in Liverpool on Thursday evening as our country’s entrant for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest qualified for Saturday evening’s final. The audience clearly warmed to Gustaph and the Belgian singer was overjoyed to have made it through to the final. Gustaph told VRT News that above all he wants to make us all proud.
The VRT’s Eurovision commentator Peter Van de Veire is upbeat about Gustaph’s chances and is confident that the Belgian will end up in the top 10.
You may well have heard Gustaph’s ‘Because of You’ on the radio in recent week. However, for many Thursday evening's performance in Liverpool was the first time that they had heard the song. It’s a catchy tune and Gustaph’s performance is made complete thanks to the assistance of the singers Chantal, Monique and Sandrine and the ballroom dance PussCee West.
The performance captivated the audience and when the finalists were announced at the end of the show Belgium’s Gustaph was the four name out of the hat.
