Her name is Geike Arnaert. Look for her recent live performance of Way Too Deep, an english version of Willy Sommers' belgian song Het Water Is Veel Te Diep.
Qualifying with EASE. I had an issue with their comments last year about the competition, and their treatment of Luka, but I can’t dislike this song. It’s so SO good.
There were no ‘comments on the competition’.... you like many others have not understood what it was that Alex actually said... he said : SOME people say the eurovision song contest is a circus of bad taste... HE clearly did not agree with that. So really... try to actually know the context of the words before judging :)
It drives me crazy to see that most of eurofans prefer generic pop song to this. If Belgium doesn't qualify for the final this year there is a big problem. Hopefully juries will save Hooverphonic
I absolutely love this song! I mean, so many other trashy songs scores higher by many fans but just like 'Growing Up is Getting Old' are unique and different.
@@TheGoaBase true, I was kinda expecting it too. But they deserved so much more... 3 twits half naked got a better place than them. It just shows how messed up most this generations music is
Geike is really a superior woman, a kind of Mistress that dominates people all around. Her interpretation is soulful, haunting and dark enough to catch you into her fascinating world. Well done, Hooverphonic ! 👌👏🙌💖
Het land is aantrekkelijk! De groep is tijdloos! Het nummer is stijlvol en origineel! De manier van optreden is betoverend en hypnotiserend! De zanger is stijlvol en met gevoel voor charme en plasticiteit! Absoluut ... 12 punten uit Rusland!
Wow. This is brillant. I reacted to the song right now and was shocked. Semi 1 will be tough as hell. Jury will love this. Well done Hooverphonic!! Big love from the neighbour Germany! :-)
We will see that tomorrow from the snippets of the rehearsals. I really hope there will be some staging at least because our VRT broadcast Is not so good at it. I hope Alex callier the 1 who writes the songs for Eurovision has some staging in mind. I hope to see those candlelights of the video at the visuals. I really hope we will qualify this year after two years not being in the final.
She's sooo shy in real life ... but put her on a stage ... fireworks!!!! Better than the studio cut, instrumentally a bit more toned down but all accents on her voice. I love it.
I love this so much hope they do awesome in May. With those amazing vocals I don't worry anymore about qualification. It is even better than the video clip😮😮❤️❤️💯
They have to nail the staging in Rotterdam and it will be a certain qualifier. This song is in my Top 10 this year. What an upgrade from last year - from 29th to 8th place in my rankings. Geike's voice is so captivating though! Good luck from Bulgaria!
@Adrianos Rines I really hope too. I think they can. Juries will like this a lot to not put it in the final. Only thing that remains is to have the best possible performance to gain the teleport's support. Because let's face it when it comes to vocals she is killing it. If she was in the 2 semifinal she would pass with ease
@Adrianos Rines Love the Hooverphonic and their music. This one is totally not an exception. I don't see it generally very low mostly from 10 to 25 so it's generally in good place(hahaha reference). I actually for the first time in years had Greece's song on a loop I love it even if I loved last year's and people really seem to like it. Greece is qualifying no question we just need not to fuck up the staging like in 2018. I would prefer Belgium over Greece in my Grand Final anyday. But I would love to see both in the Final. It is definitely possible
@Adrianos Rines I actually loved last year's too but I prefer this year's by miles. Thank god we are getting back on our track because from 2014 to 2017 he haven't sent the best songs...
Holy cow, I've never heard their new (old) vocalist perform live. She does not have a bad note in her! I can't wait to see her on the Eurovision stage!
@@irondasgr Not sure. There is so much plastic trash music this year, all they really have to do is turn up and perform the song like a proper band. It will stand out by a mile.
@@lapponia77 Hahaha, the ESC stage does not work like this. A possible appearance place 7 out of 26 final songs, could easily condemn this song in oblivion. Most people see the songs for the first time this night and vote for the one that draws their attention more. Many of them also pay attention only to those that the media have already brainwashed them about the last few days on the news. That's why the worst thing in the contest are the bet makers and their odds.
@@irondasgr I don't see why you seem to find my comment so funny. You may well be right, but I do think that there is a chance that a pared-back presentation could stand out by means of contrast - there is no guarantee, but there is a chance. The staging has to suit the song. A flashy presentation would kill a song like this. I absolutely agree with you about the importance of the running order and the influence of the bookmakers' odds.
This is a very mature song, a typical Hooverphonic sound but let's hope they will not win cause we Belgians are not going for gold, we just love to send good music
@@giots9559 I agree, City lights and Rhythm inside are my favorite Eurovision songs. Laura was amazing too. Sennek and Eliot had a really good song but failed to deliver it. I am sure that this band will not fail, they have the experience. Belgium and Italy have send the best songs so far.
I have to admit the singer sounds great live, you can see she is a real professional
Of course she is! They are a live band!
Yves she issssss
@EscDeKars Official welk lied
Of course she is. She has at least 25yrs of career. 11 of them (1997-2008, 2020-) with this band.
Her name is Geike Arnaert. Look for her recent live performance of Way Too Deep, an english version of Willy Sommers' belgian song Het Water Is Veel Te Diep.
The most underrated song of the year
Sometimes is good to be underrated because the factor of surprise x vs an give you many points!
Winner for me 🏆🇧🇪 good luck from Italy 🇮🇹❤
So true!!! It's my 3rd place this year
I'm gonna be so mad when they don't qualify in semi 1 😭
I hope it ends up Top 5, but I don’t trust juries nor tasteless eurofans
Geike's vocals are too good. The juries are going to eat this up.
When somebody sings LIVE like this, there's no need to say anything
My winner 🇧🇪❤
I'll def vote for them. Greetings from Greece🇬🇷
Sadly, you greeks can't vote in the first semi-final.
@@76HENDRIK10yea I know. I'm sure Belgium will qualify ,so I'll vote for them in final 🤍
Merci!
greece was my fav
Belgium is my favourite country in Eurovision. Much love from Ukraine
Wow, this was really good. This can be the dark horse of this year.
This is my favourite song this year, i really hope they qualify
@@sigi021984 that probably wont happen
This is SO GOOD! THE VOCKÉLS HONEY, THE VOUCKÉLS.
Het wordt tijd dat het songfestival ook echt om de songs gaat. Hooverphonic sturen is een hele goede zet. Muziek om van te genieten.
Qualifying with EASE. I had an issue with their comments last year about the competition, and their treatment of Luka, but I can’t dislike this song. It’s so SO good.
Same feeling here
Totally agree, but Geike is just incredible, so looking back it was the right decision. I just wish they weren't so horrible to Luka.
There were no ‘comments on the competition’.... you like many others have not understood what it was that Alex actually said... he said : SOME people say the eurovision song contest is a circus of bad taste...

Thaaanks😍
what about Luka?
It drives me crazy to see that most of eurofans prefer generic pop song to this. If Belgium doesn't qualify for the final this year there is a big problem. Hopefully juries will save Hooverphonic
Ikr
I absolutely love this song! I mean, so many other trashy songs scores higher by many fans but just like 'Growing Up is Getting Old' are unique and different.
if you're watching eurovision, you don't qualify for the term eurofan.
Yes there in Finals!
@@Meghrebi yes but they didn't make a good impression.
My No 1 at Eurovision from the first moment I heard it. This video only confirms my choice. Beautiful.
Dit is niet normaal zo goed. Dit is nog eens muziek. Hoop dat België het Eurovisie songfestival wint. Groetjes van jullie buurt land Nederland!
Guys, we will MUST vote for this in may!
For sure, it's the best song this year and we have the honour of having the original band and voice in ESC.
I can not believe it got 3 points.
@@thestick7152 well, deep in me I was expected that because we all know the audience of ESC what is their taste of music.
@@TheGoaBase true, I was kinda expecting it too. But they deserved so much more... 3 twits half naked got a better place than them. It just shows how messed up most this generations music is
@@thestick7152 I so much agree with you and with your example. Anyway they gave us another diamond!
I don't usually vote in the semis, but I'll do it this time for her
It’s not only her, it’s the whole band ❤️
Thank you from Belgium 🇧🇪❤️
Thank you so much from Belgium🥺❤️🇧🇪
I hate that semi final 1 is such a blood bath :O
Don't worry ! Live performances will make the difference between the contestants. And, of course, the stagings too.
Pure art! 🧡
Geike is really a superior woman, a kind of Mistress that dominates people all around. Her interpretation is soulful, haunting and dark enough to catch you into her fascinating world. Well done, Hooverphonic ! 👌👏🙌💖
Love this song!!
LOVE from Croatia. So good.
It’s my favorite ✨From France✨
The music , the voice all perfectly melted together hooverphonic with geike are pure magic
wow what a voice!
One of my favs.
She is one of the few singers at Eurovision that sounds better live than the recorded version. Impeccable!
hooverphonic is my favorite this year. you cant imagine how much i love you!!! good luck from azerbaijan
12 points from the UK. Brilliant. Fingers crossed this does as well as it should.
What a great song! I love it 💕 greetings from France
i hope belgium gets through the semi finals. lots of love from germany (youre my favourite this year :3)
Even more awesome in a live performance (on a radio station) I'm so looking forward to the performance and staging on the night
LOVE IT ! I can't stop listenning... and try to imagine the staging in my head.
My favorite this year... well done Hooverphonic!!! Fingers crossed 🤞
Geike is so incredible ❤️
I hope they will have good staging at ESC 🙏
Let me introduce you the winner of Eurovision Song Contest 2021! Kisses from Turkey 🇹🇷

We wish, but it won’t happen. Last time was in 1986 😢
It is impressive!!!! 12 points from Russia
Such an incredible voice, she is 100 percent within the song. Don't you ever dare to not vote for them! ;-)
Musical poetry right here!!!

Good luck Belgium from Greece ! Welcome at the Grand Final after 4 years (+2020) and you are my 9th place!
Id didnt get it at the first listen, but this song completely stole my heart.
Woow this is really good. I really hope this song will get what it deserves in esc. (I hope at least a grand final position)
This is so beautiful.
Prachtig Top the voice Europe
Wow. This is brillant. I reacted to the song right now and was shocked. Semi 1 will be tough as hell. Jury will love this. Well done Hooverphonic!! Big love from the neighbour Germany! :-)
Outstanding!!! Geike!!! and the Boys!!!
Geike is so talented, i love her voice😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good job, Belgium. From Portugal.
Love her voice. She's a real talent😍👌 nice dark vibes, candlelight atmosphere on the podium and it will be great
She can deliver live. Honey you don't disappoint me. Hoping staging would not be as bad as previous Belgium's entry.
We will see that tomorrow from the snippets of the rehearsals. I really hope there will be some staging at least because our VRT broadcast Is not so good at it.

AMAZING , POTENTIAL WINNER!!! EUROPE, WATCH OUT!
Haha that was a good one xD
Not a winner song maybe it will not even go to final (i would be really sad then)

Good luck Belgium, this is surely one of the best songs this year.

She is amazing ❤️🇧🇪
This is so good OMG
My 12 points for you!!! This is amazing
Really amazing live!
excellent vocals!
I feel with a good staging this can really go in the top 10 as the underdog of the contest
@Adrianos Rines Nope I'm from Greece and this is my favourite song from semifinal 1 period
@Adrianos Rines I really hope too. I think they can. Juries will like this a lot to not put it in the final.

My prediction : good voice in live
Result : confirmed ! 🎶🇧🇪 yess
Holy cow, I've never heard their new (old) vocalist perform live. She does not have a bad note in her! I can't wait to see her on the Eurovision stage!
Please qualify, Belgium this year is my second favourite with Greece
Go Geike...powerwomen 💪🍀
A true masterpiece competing with so many disposable songs. In this year Hooverphonic deseves to win!!
They will def have to come up with a really smart staging. Their clip has set the bar quite high for this.

Welcome in the Low Countries world!!!! Well Done neighbours!! Cya back in the top 5!!! Love
Please Europe!!! This has quality!!!

Belgium deserves a Eurovision Lifetime Achievement Award.
Wow. This is sooo goood
This is a very mature song, a typical Hooverphonic sound but let's hope they will not win cause we Belgians are not going for gold, we just love to send good music
Belgium has become the new Sweden, only with more quality.

Good lucky Hooverphonic ily♥️
Good luck in ESC2021 ❤
