Belgium 2023: Gustaph - Because of You

[Lucille]

GUSTAPH looks plainly WICKED, and has surely done EVIL beyond any of our comprehension.

 

[Saltwater]

Good lord at this nonsense straight out of 1994. (!)

Loredana's sounds even more outdated than this one

 

[win_the_game]

It's giving me shades of D:Ream's 'U R The Best Thing' meets 'Relight My Fire'

 

[Kala]

Gustaph and The Starlings choices have been leaked. Read on if you want to know.

Spoiler: Gustaph

Because of You

Spoiler: The Starlings

Rollercoaster

 

[Lucille]

What’s the deal with The Starlings? It’s giving INCEST.

They are a couple.

 

[Lucille]

They are a couple.

OF COUSINS?

That is the POINT

Chérine is on Spotify now

 

[VoR]

Genuinely baffled at The Starlings selecting STONE BORE Rollercoaster over the mildly decent Oceanside.

Thrilled they're giving Cherine a fighting chance, but from a competitive standpoint I just don't get it.

DC what does Ce m’ennuie pas mean in the context of this song? Is it something like ‘It doesn’t bother me’?

The other artists all told them to go for Oceanside. They went for Rollercoaster because the song meant more to them as it was written about a miscarriage Kato had last year.

 

[Kala]

Also hello @Dame Slap

 

[Soldi]

Does Chérine actually have a CHANCE?!

 

[Saltwater]

12 The Starlings - Rollercoaster
10 Hunter Falls – Oh la la
08 Chérine – Ca ne m’ennuie pas
07 Loredana – Lift me up
06 Gustaph - Because of You
05 Ameerah - The Carnival

Correct

 

[Ill Advised]

I don’t think I can cope if Chérine doesn’t win tonight

 

[Lucille]

SAME. Belgium…

 

[Pingu]

Does Chérine actually have a CHANCE?!

Nah it really doesn’t matter that The Starlings went for the slightly blander one of the two bland choices. They’re both still exactly the kind of bland that the jury of radio and record company types will lap up while leaving poor Chérine languishing in 5th or something.

 

[Lucille]

Why is Belgium so evil, can’t something be done about it?

Sounds like Bellissima but not as good.

 

[Kala]

Sounds like Bellissima but not as good.

It sounds nothing like it?

 

[Lucille]

I DID NOT SAY THAT.

 

[Lucille]

I’VE HAD ENOUGH OF THE LIES.

 

[Kala]

I DID NOT SAY THAT.

What??? How the fuck did that happen? Sorry @Lucille

 

[Jacques]

Gustaph just won, a point ahead of The Starlings

 

[Tetris-Rock]

We are on the laughter timeline. Absolutely ecstatic about this outcome.

 

[Tetris-Rock]

The INFLUENCE of TOTP 1993

 

[Kala]

Well at least it wasn’t The Starlings. But that was a WEIRD result.

 

[Ill Advised]

WTF!!

 

[auretz]

! Always love an unexpected result. Quite like it, even if they had better options.

 

[GinAg (39)]

It's giving me Tony di Bart follow up single realness. There are things I like. There are things I don't like.

 

[Kala]

it’s more like The Nightcrawlers crossed with Boy George for me. It wasn’t bad.

The best part of the show was Alexander Rybak SLATING The Starlings.

 

[Kala]

ONE point though. There were 1560 points given out.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I don't know who The Starlings are (they sound like twee Danish output) but Rybak needs to shut his rotten mouth.

 

[Kala]

He was BANG ON THE MONEY. For once. He pretty much cost them the victory.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I believe Alexander Rybak is evil.

 

[VoR]

This was my moment. Feeling humbled + blessed right now.

 

[GinAg (39)]

At least he's giving us something performance wise.

 

[win_the_game]

HOLY FUCK !

I'm not complaining with that choice.
