Out of all the “slower” songs, this one really impacted me. It’s not just a “ballad”. I could listen to this on the radio, in a concert, in a film, it’s just on a higher taste level. I love it more every time I listen to it. Love from Spain!!!
Same, but from Estonia 🇪🇪 - start liking it more and more every time. It just stood out from all the other songs too. It’s just ...perfect. Totally my mood recently!! Really vibing it!! 😻😻😻💕 And I love how she was just genuinely so surprised for the warm applause - her smile was so kind and genuinely surprised/grateful. So cute! 🥰🤗

Just wanted to make sure that people know that Hooverphonic is not just another Eurovision band. They are a legendary band with super beautiful songs (mad about you , 2 wicky, etc). This song is amazing and unique and I think it's too good for Eurovision standards. ALL the love from Greece. You sang it beautifully.
Εγώ τόσους μήνες δεν το ειχα ακούσει και χθες μου άρεσε πολύ. Ήρεμο και ιδιαίτερο.Ελπίζω να κάνουν τη διαφορά οι επιτροπές ψηφίζοντάς το γιατί το κοινό δεν το βλέπω και τόσο...
You realize that they have been in the industry for over 20 years when you look at the level of professionalism they have on stage. Well done Belgium!!
The songs was elena ➡️ tix ➡️ Albina ➡️ hooverphonic ➡️ Eden arlene this was the live performance order how she sing, so I think oh so many good songs in a order and I New on of these won't qualify because elena is a banger tix beautiful song Albina banger again hooverphonic outstanding and eden arlene outstanding too so then I thought which song will be forget which country is the unlucky country is it Cyprus or Croatia because the art of the songs are really similar... and Croatia was the unlucky country. So everybody can say what they want this happens every year at the esc a song eliminated through an unlucky order of the live performances in my opinion if you won't believe you can look back at older esc's you will see it.... It's true
the guy at the piano alex callier and his compagnon at the bass guitar have been icon's here in Belgium they have been producing so many successful songs check there Spotify account they have so many awesome songs
Always cool songs. I think its because they are not trying to be hip. Just like this song lyrics go: "You started acting way too too hip". Its a great way to stand out and be original.
10/10 vocals. This song is perfectly representing its genre, musically on point and very professional. I can't understand people who say this is "boring" like every song in the contest should be a dance track/ generic pop. Variation makes the contest enriched.
Imo the ones that are boring are the repetetive ones like that are associated with esc songs which is sad cause than its not a music contest if its all like the same genre
Helped me to help my family, we are poor and I want to change our life, fund my transport project in my country please😢😥 or give me charity😞 don't take me for a scammer I just need to be helped
I absolutely LOVE this. I've had this on repeat for so long now. It's pissing me off to no end that people say this song didn't deserve to qualify. Sure, it's not as flashy as many other performances. But this is the kind of music that you could listen to for YEARS witout it feeling dated. This def has my vote, love from Sweden
I would say eurovision is all about show and performing, this is a great song but not for eurovision where everything is about spectacle and sharing a message. But Congrats on qualification, this song is indeed different than others 👏👏👏
Easily the best performance of the night. They were so comfortable on the stage, it shows their years of experience. So many performers looked lost today, but Hooverphonic absolutely owned the stage and didn't give you a moment to doubt their professionalism.
Oh hey, you were participating in the lithuanian esc competition, I watched that NF. I also love Belgium AND Lithuania (from semi 1). Your song was really good too back in the national finals. Do you have any thoughts on the roop's final performance from tonight?
@@me7093 Thanks, the performance was good, I'm a bit too overexposed to the song by now though, since everywhere you walk in Kaunas or Vilnius you see yellow :D
What did you expect ? They delivered , they sung well , they have stage presence and they have more years of experience than more contestants on this show. That's why they passed. Good. Justice.
I'm from belgium and is it that big of a band internationally, like i knew it is a big band here and it did make some international succes but is it that huge
@@loiclejeune2877 Hello from North America! Hooverphonic is well known if you are into electronic/rock and trip hop. Most people don’t even know they love them to be honest, after all Sarah Brightman covered their songs along with being on many soundtracks. “Eden” was a well known song.
I remember I heard some Hooverphonic back when I was really into Portishead and all those bands, I mean, they're quite big The only other Belgian band I can think of which is basically as big are dEUS, who would also be an amazing addition to this stage
I had never heard of them but I will definitely check them out after last night's performance. I hope the song does well in the final - I think it might!
I was afraid that Belgium would not be able to make it to the finals, because I really liked this song. But, fortunately, I will be able to listen to you in the final. I will support you. Love from Ukraine🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦❤❤❤❤❤
Me too 🤗🥰 Belgium and Ukraine are my favourite in this year 💕 you know when there were only two places left, I didn’t have much hope about it 😂But then they announced Belgium 🇧🇪 and Ukraine as the last two qualifiers 😆😜 it was the best day of my life literally 🥰💕
Well-deserved qualification of a band that doesn't need special gimmicks, outrageous costumes and screaming, just a good, classy song. Proud of my country's good taste, as usual, and many thanks for voting Hooverphonic into the grand finale 😉
And people say it's bad, I was so worried but it did qualify YASSS This is art, original, dark and good sounding music, literally one of the best ones this year:)
@@eviken1982 I know what you're saying but I think its good that it was on the eurovision, the show needs different types of music with different qualities. I've never heard of this band but I will check out some of their music after hearing this and I'll be sure to give them a vote in the final. I'm not so sure how good they will do but you don't always need crazy staging and whatever else, Duncan Laurence's Arcade is proof that a great song is enough. Good luck to Belgium 🇧🇪 from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤
@@eviken1982 Im sure juries voted for the song but also older people who appreciate class. Problem is older people only vote once while teenagers vote 20 times.

Ok, this is real Music. I can't vote because I'm from Argentina but this and Ukraine are my faves. I can't believe there's so many songs with singers on Botox, dresses like a second category Beyoncé and Spanish titles songs with almost the same instrumental breakdown and with those trumpets...for stuffs like that Eurovision is not taken seriously musically. Belgium bring us quality always. Thank you for that.
Classy!!! Come on guys, stop telling it did not deserve simply because it is not your type! It deserves even more. They were flawless. Go Belgium. Love from Armenia!
For my private song contest the winner is Belgium 🇧🇪. I don’t see any reason to watch any further and don’t really care about final results. Thank’s everyone and good luck!
Not Eurovision format at all, thank God. It was so good, so fresh for this competition. Feels like something old school. It was the best for me in this semi finals! Love from Russia ❤
Everyone thought that Belgium wouldn't qualify and they did and I'm so so sooo HAPPY for you guys and Hooverphonic, totally deserved, we need more dark pop in Eurovision.
Very happy to see this go through, this performance reminded us that this is a music contest. No need for fireworks or colors everywhere, just a classy and elegant performance with fantastic live vocals. Congrats Belgium.
Pure crystal voice with really professional performance and more than of 25 years of experience in concerts made Hooverphonic a clear finalist. Good luck, I will definitely vote for you on Saturday. Greetings from Prague.
This is a masterpiece, not made for Eurovision but for the heart. Like a charm you hold onto your chest and enjoy it for yourself. Really, this song was my favourite!
@@JadedKate usually this type of songs aren't appreciated enough by a lot of people, that's why i was scared. But as You said they are truly professional and i'm very glad that they made it to the final.
@@bitter_honey well, there's a first time for everything. Maybe they will appreciate this type of style if it's played by a professional band such as this one 🤔💁🏻♀️
This was the best performance of the night in my opinion. The singing is perfect and the performance is classily understated. I definitely seeing this as a dark horse for the final and I will definitely be voting for it.
Dark, slow, classy and some may call this boring, but I found it a great change after lots of uptempo acts. Keep it up Belgium with the classy entries! 🇧🇪
Belgium is a country of elegance and good taste with modest artists like Hooverphonic. Remember 'Mad about you'? Not the spectacle some are referring too but definitely one of the best songs of the first semi finals. A real song and a high quality performance, and that is what Eurovision should be about.
I literally SCREAMED when they got through, I didn't even DARE to hope, but apparently there is still a little justice left in the world ❤ GO BELGIUM!!!!
Me too 😂 There were only two places left and I didn’t have much hope. But when I heard “Belgium” I literally screamed out for a long time 😂😊🥳🙌🏻 I am so happy about the result that I keep watching this video again and again and read through all the comments below 💕🥰
My votes were for you, I tried to convince my friends / family to vote for you as well, lol. Belgium, I am so happy you are here, this song is masterpiece and I am so happy I contributed to voting. With love from Azerbaijan!
Helped me to help my family, we are poor and I want to change our life, fund my transport project in my country please😢😥 or give me charity😞 don't take me for a scammer I just need to be helped
Last night my daughter and I voted for Ukraine, Russia, Belgium and Romania. We're so happy that Belgium's classy song and performance made it through! It doesn't sound like your typical ESC song and that's why I'm so glad it qualified. Love from Italy!
@@BlackCatKZ her face is normal. In today's society where everything is measured to Kardashians, botox, facelifts, and everybody looking exactly alike (almost like human robots) seeing a real face is refreshing.
Oh thank you to everyone,who has a taste for music, for carrying Belgium to the final with Hooverphonic. Great song and great performance. I’m from Turkey and I’m your big fan Hooverphonic I’m so happy🔥🔥🇹🇷🇧🇪
Its honestly fucking sad to see the amount of eurofans underrating this entry, I was there wayching this live in Ahoy and she sounded amazing. This was an excellent song and performance, is just sad how bad eurofan taste is, thankfully they went to the finals anyways.
Totally agree, this song is my favourite from 1st semi final indeed. Performance, voice, music and whole structure of this song and vibe is just so stylish and tasty. I feel so sorry for this band because so many eurovision viewers think they didn't deserve to qualify for final, because they didn't have sparkles glitter and loud chorus with shooting fire. It's a song/music contest not glitter contest, but if someone wants all sparkles and colours maybe they should go to see circus. Also people who complain about performance, because other countries did this or that etc.... not every performance need constant action and change on stage, it depends from song, and in my opinion this song was performed perfect. Loud song requires louder performance, and this song needed this subtle performance in my opinion. It's sad that such bands are so underrated in eurovision because it makes me think what people are watching this contest, they don't understand much of true art, and that what stops most really great bands and singers even participate in this contest. I believe that most of true artist/musician wouldn't even consider eurovision, because of the audience watching it and expecting all this circus flying around them when it's totally not with artists style of performance. Music is diverse and different music for different people. People shouldn't slag Belgium for qualifying
Me too 😂 I screamed so hard when I heard “Belgium” 😍🤪 I am in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 which means I watched it at 4am and my screaming woke my whole family up 😂🤷🏻♀️
I am so happy and proud! The song is elegant and atmospheric and I'd been keeping my fingers crossed for the whole semi-final. I am going to vote on Saturday 🇵🇱❤🇧🇪
no surely not, the high note singers like Malta didn't get those high notes, many think that they can but don't succeed, A singer should stick to his / her range. Others sung litterally out of tune, like the Bulgarian guy in the second semi final. I have a trained ear so I can tell. What is so good in ' The wrong place' is not only Geike's voice but also the backing vocals!
@@frankie1c I'm sorry, I wrote the wrong country, I meant Georgia ;-) ; that was the worst singer of all; the Bulgarian female singer was unfortunately not really on pitch neither ;-)
We used to always send generic (crappy) dance music, because Eurovision is different than regular music and festivals. But we would always end up in the bottom. Until we looked at it from a different angle and decided we would just play to our strengths and that is our alternative music scene. And we have been on a "winning streak" ever since. No looking back, no regrets. (P.S. sick avatar 😮 are you from a nordic country ? DO you own a lakehouse ?😅 Hmmm... Latvia ? Norway ? ICELAND🤔)
Why do so many dislike this? It's pure quality. So many people with aweful taste here. Let's unite, and all vote for this in final, and make it win, to prove the haters it's quality! Vote this comment up so we all unite and make this win!!!!
Well done Belgium! Well done Hooverphonic! It was a great surprise for me listen this music. It become one of my favorites this year. Refined, melodic, enigmatic, balanced, ... No words! Greetings from Portugal and good luck. Stay safe everyone.
I'm so happy, for a moment I thought this masterprice wouldn't qualified, when I saw the results I jumped out of bed. This is a dark horse. Well deserved
I’ve never listend to the Eurovision songs 2021 before, planned to listen to them the first time when the shows are, and it’s simply my most favorite from all in semifinal 1 and right now my most favorite and if it doesn’t change I will give Belgium 2 votes at the final.
BELGIUM 🇧🇪 what a delivery!! Wow incredible song 🤩🤩🤩I was so worried they wouldnt go through.. 😰 I Will vote for this in the final! 12 points from Sweden 👏🏼👏🏼
One of my favourite this year!! Thia dark, loop staging its just wow!!!! Belgium I have voted for you in the semi finals and I am voting for you in the finals for sure!!!! Good luck from Cyprus!! ❤❤
Dear Hooverphonic (Belgium), thank you so much for taking a part in esc 2021. I can't express how happy I am to see one of my favorite bands in the world performing on this stage 🇦🇿♥️🇧🇪 Mad about you, Eden, and 2 wicky are some of my favorite songs by you. My heart is melting, I feel goosebumps listening to this masterpiece. Lots of support, love, and warm regards from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 to Belgium 🇧🇪
this was one of two songs that actually left me with an impact yesterday, didnt fully appreciate it the first time hearing it but it had enough of a hook to get me to come back after the show was over. cant stop listening to it now, its definitely more unique and stands out :) it was sad to see so many people boo the fact that it got through (at least where i was looking) will be rooting for them in the finals!
@M D I literally seen you in like 10+ comments here, how bout instead get a grip and understand that perhaps it wasn't all Belgium's fault xD. Like sure I'm pissed off that Croatia didn't make it, but that's just Eurovision and a gem will always fall out. Im interestes to see the full results of this semi-final to see how close it was.
Honestly - it's hard not to love Belgium entries (Eliot, Blanche). This year is no different, another amazing song. Keep it up Belgium - now i'm gonna go and listen to it over and over again. Greetings from Poland.
@@Buffalohomer yes he is now in a couple called The Starlings with Kato, his ... well I wanted to say girlfriend, but I think it's his fiancee (since a couple weeks actually) 🤔 They & their music fit so well together
And Telex and Pas de Deux. Real pioneers, 20 years ahead of their time. But completely ridiculized by the press because it was too modern for that time.
Vanaf de dag van de release stak ik mijn enthousiasme voor België dit jaar niet onder stoelen of banken. En ik wil het eigenlijk niet zeggen maar, I TOLD YOU SO. gefeliciteerd Hooverphonic met het beste optreden van de avond. Buiten onze pauze act uiteraard.

Out of all the “slower” songs, this one really impacted me. It’s not just a “ballad”. I could listen to this on the radio, in a concert, in a film, it’s just on a higher taste level. I love it more every time I listen to it. Love from Spain!!!

True that. And one of the few that they didn't need any flamboyant visual effects or astonishing dancers to support. Geike was enough

Thanks Belgium from bringing real music to the contest. What a well deserved qualification. Love from Spain❤️
with Hooverphonic, one of the best belgian band ever. No need to thank! ^^
Not Eurovision format at all, thank God. It was so good, so fresh for this competition. Feels like something old school. It was the best for me in this semi finals! Love from Russia ❤
Спасибо русским друзьям, привет из Бельгии
I agree !
I guess they were in the WRONG PLACE.
Love from belguim 💖💖
I agree
The best song of this year. Thanks Hooverphonic for real music. With love from Spain
Maybe one of the best Eurovision songs this year with great lyrics. I’m so happy they qualified!
Hello there how are you doing today I want us to be friends hope you are not angry about it 🌹🌹
Everyone thought that Belgium wouldn't qualify and they did and I'm so so sooo HAPPY for you guys and Hooverphonic, totally deserved, we need more dark pop in Eurovision.
This isn't pop, this is alternative rock, that's why it qualified, 7 pop songs, 2 almost techno and this, totally deserved
There are only few songs in Eurovision which you could listen everyday at any situation. Belgium is one of them!
Very happy to see this go through, this performance reminded us that this is a music contest. No need for fireworks or colors everywhere, just a classy and elegant performance with fantastic live vocals. Congrats Belgium.
Pure crystal voice with really professional performance and more than of 25 years of experience in concerts made Hooverphonic a clear finalist. Good luck, I will definitely vote for you on Saturday. Greetings from Prague.
This is a masterpiece, not made for Eurovision but for the heart. Like a charm you hold onto your chest and enjoy it for yourself. Really, this song was my favourite!
I was so nervous that they won't qualify, but they did TOTALLY AMAZING. So happy for them. Love from Moldova 🇲🇩
We were all nervous with you 😅 but they are class and professional 🙂 thanks ^^
@@JadedKate usually this type of songs aren't appreciated enough by a lot of people, that's why i was scared. But as You said they are truly professional and i'm very glad that they made it to the final.
@@bitter_honey well, there's a first time for everything. Maybe they will appreciate this type of style if it's played by a professional band such as this one 🤔💁🏻♀️
Bravo, Belgium! It was the first time I voted for you. Good luck in final.❤️
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve listened to this. Blasting it everywhere. The living room the car the gym. What a song!
This was the best performance of the night in my opinion. The singing is perfect and the performance is classily understated. I definitely seeing this as a dark horse for the final and I will definitely be voting for it.
Hooverphonic are mark of excellence. I love you, see you in the final because it’s deserved.
HOOVERPHONIC, The Legend
Its sad to see that the majority of the people In here don't know who hooverphonic is.
I vote Belgium this night... Beautiful. Ciao from Italy
Thank you 🙏🏻
Actually didnt think this would make it through... Its way to good
Congratulations on qualifying to the final Belgium! 🇧🇪
Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
Thank you Khaleesi, Mother of Dragons. Means a lot coming from you! 🙏😅
Mycket tack and ❤️ from Belgium
And my 12 points go to Belgium. Magnificent performance! We've been all missing Geike in Hooverphonic. Welcome back!
Dark, slow, classy and some may call this boring, but I found it a great change after lots of uptempo acts. Keep it up Belgium with the classy entries! 🇧🇪
That's the thing, i think if you want to win here you need to put up a bit of a show
@@thelastinvoker6311 they are winners already, they are legendary! This song is a masterpiece

@@annalieh2203 yeah,right and i’m not from belgium
@@fox08403 well thank you all for supporting my country 🇧🇪
She not only stood out because it was a calm song. She was also one of the few who sang well. Well done❤️
And also one of the only women who wore a dress and not lingerie 😄

With backup dancers
And she has a lot of charisma!
@M D are you def because the only thing I can hear is someone who didn’t sign false or out of tune this evening
@M D Hey we can all like our own thing can't we? No need to be rude. Love for Belgium!
Probably my most favourite song this year.. definitely will listen to it a lot even after the finals
Belgium is a country of elegance and good taste with modest artists like Hooverphonic. Remember 'Mad about you'? Not the spectacle some are referring too but definitely one of the best songs of the first semi finals. A real song and a high quality performance, and that is what Eurovision should be about.
Thx for the kind words I hope they win 💕
@@eviken1982 You never know, right?
I payed money. To vote. Because I really really really wanted this is the finale. Thank god
Me too 😂 I was thinking this song deserves my money
Thank you for vote
you made my evening with your sincere monologue :D thank you! with love from Russia.
The same😅
thx for the votes , love from belgium ;-)
What a real professional looks like! The style, performance, everything! This woman is perfection! Go BELGIUM!!
I literally SCREAMED when they got through, I didn't even DARE to hope, but apparently there is still a little justice left in the world ❤ GO BELGIUM!!!!
Me too 😂 There were only two places left and I didn’t have much hope. But when I heard “Belgium” I literally screamed out for a long time 😂😊🥳🙌🏻 I am so happy about the result that I keep watching this video again and again and read through all the comments below 💕🥰
She has got the best voice at the contest. A masterpiece, thank you Hooverphonic.
Love it even more after listening again to it. Will vote for it in Saturday! Cheers from Austria 🇦🇹🇧🇪
My votes were for you, I tried to convince my friends / family to vote for you as well, lol.
Belgium, I am so happy you are here, this song is masterpiece and I am so happy I contributed to voting.
With love from Azerbaijan!
Azerbaijan was always quite generous with points for Belgium, if I’m not mistaken.
But yeah Azerbaijan rocks so that’s no surprise
Please vote again in the final ! Thanks !
@@jeremiejeremiejeremie I will
Pls yes ask all your friends and family to vote for Belgium , I really love that song ,
Helped me to help my family, we are poor and I want to change our life, fund my transport project in my country please😢😥 or give me charity😞 don't take me for a scammer I just need to be helped
Last night my daughter and I voted for Ukraine, Russia, Belgium and Romania. We're so happy that Belgium's classy song and performance made it through! It doesn't sound like your typical ESC song and that's why I'm so glad it qualified. Love from Italy!
Thank you for Ukraine) and yes Belgium brought something really special this Eurovision. Also loved their song❤️
Thank you from Belgium!
Wat een goed nummer! Nederland heeft de laatste jaren bewezen om met gewone luistermuziek hoog te kunnen komen. Succes Belgie!
This song is truly excellent. It tells a story and makes you feel like you re part of it! Congratulations Belgium from 🇨🇾
Its one of those songs you love to listen at rainy evening. She is beautiful.
Geike Arnaert is exactly the type of woman to have a deep conversation with on those _rainy evenings_ you mentioned. Class act.
@M D i meni je. Pjesma je mrak.
Sorry, her face is old for her age
@@BlackCatKZ her face is normal. In today's society where everything is measured to Kardashians, botox, facelifts, and everybody looking exactly alike (almost like human robots) seeing a real face is refreshing.
Belgium gets my votes tonight! Pure and genuine song and performance, yet underrated it hurts!
❤️ thank you 🙏🏻
Who’s here after the announcement of them qualifying ? Congratulations Belgium from 🇬🇷 ❣️
That was the nice surprise of tonight's voting. Μπράβο τους!!!
Εγώ! Χάρηκα παρα πολλή που πέρασε το Βέλγιο!
Me! I'm so happy Belguim qualified!
Και εγώ
Same
@@ilianafourkioti1521 yes indeed it was
i love greece so much! Stefania is great! good luck guys love from belgium
Honestly, this one is in a whole higher league of music. Classic, music that will live for ever.
This is their repertoire; smoky, sultry and subversive '60s Bond music.
@@JadedKate so good... unexpected for Eurovision! I love this so much!
i still come back to this because its a banger
12 POINTS FROM 🇷🇺
THE BEST SONG IN EUROVISION 2021
Я сначала не поняла эту песню, а потом переслушала и поняла, что она должна быть в моем плейлисте. Вот она роскошная темная лошадка Бельгия ❤️
sure joanne
Oh thank you to everyone,who has a taste for music, for carrying Belgium to the final with Hooverphonic. Great song and great performance. I’m from Turkey and I’m your big fan Hooverphonic I’m so happy🔥🔥🇹🇷🇧🇪
Thanks for your "vote" 😊 hope you can participate again someday and vote yourself 🙂
@@JadedKate I hope so much, too. Thank you very much. You're so great this year.Good Luck 🇧🇪🇹🇷
when will people realize that you don't need to bring other ppl down to cheer and be happy for something you love?
Interesting fact: the clothes of singer Geike are designed by one of the stylists of Lady Gaga.
Reason to vote :)
This stylist are belgian like Hooverphonic
Tom Eerebout
a bit weird then that her dress looks as though it's from any random clothing shop :/
Oh woww that's actually so cool👁👄👁
Its honestly fucking sad to see the amount of eurofans underrating this entry, I was there wayching this live in Ahoy and she sounded amazing. This was an excellent song and performance, is just sad how bad eurofan taste is, thankfully they went to the finals anyways.
everyone likes shitty pop
Totally agree
Exactly
Thumbsup from Belgium
Totally agree, this song is my favourite from 1st semi final indeed. Performance, voice, music and whole structure of this song and vibe is just so stylish and tasty. I feel so sorry for this band because so many eurovision viewers think they didn't deserve to qualify for final, because they didn't have sparkles glitter and loud chorus with shooting fire. It's a song/music contest not glitter contest, but if someone wants all sparkles and colours maybe they should go to see circus. Also people who complain about performance, because other countries did this or that etc.... not every performance need constant action and change on stage, it depends from song, and in my opinion this song was performed perfect. Loud song requires louder performance, and this song needed this subtle performance in my opinion. It's sad that such bands are so underrated in eurovision because it makes me think what people are watching this contest, they don't understand much of true art, and that what stops most really great bands and singers even participate in this contest. I believe that most of true artist/musician wouldn't even consider eurovision, because of the audience watching it and expecting all this circus flying around them when it's totally not with artists style of performance. Music is diverse and different music for different people. People shouldn't slag Belgium for qualifying
I literally screamed of happiness when they were announced as qualifiers 😍😍 So deserved!
We all did 😂😂
Me too 😂 I screamed so hard when I heard “Belgium” 😍🤪 I am in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 which means I watched it at 4am and my screaming woke my whole family up 😂🤷🏻♀️
At home we all did that!!! ❤️
Croatia did not them
I’m very impressed by Belgian entries over the years. Good quality songs and never embarrassing. Good luck brave little Belgium!
I am so happy and proud! The song is elegant and atmospheric and I'd been keeping my fingers crossed for the whole semi-final. I am going to vote on Saturday 🇵🇱❤🇧🇪
She sang this song without any mistakes! Well done!!
Didn’t everyone?
no surely not, the high note singers like Malta didn't get those high notes, many think that they can but don't succeed, A singer should stick to his / her range. Others sung litterally out of tune, like the Bulgarian guy in the second semi final. I have a trained ear so I can tell. What is so good in ' The wrong place' is not only Geike's voice but also the backing vocals!
@@rickypathy9958 Agreed also Romania had some bad vocals as well
@@rickypathy9958 funny because Bulgaria was not a guy this year 😂
@@frankie1c I'm sorry, I wrote the wrong country, I meant Georgia ;-) ; that was the worst singer of all; the Bulgarian female singer was unfortunately not really on pitch neither ;-)
What a masterpiece! Thank you Hooverphonic and Belgium for this exquisite art!♡ Είστε οι καλύτεροι! Greece loves you!
I love that Belgium always send classy and mystical sounds to Eurovision, one of my favourite countries in ESC! 🇧🇪
We used to always send generic (crappy) dance music, because Eurovision is different than regular music and festivals. But we would always end up in the bottom. Until we looked at it from a different angle and decided we would just play to our strengths and that is our alternative music scene. And we have been on a "winning streak" ever since. No looking back, no regrets. (P.S. sick avatar 😮 are you from a nordic country ? DO you own a lakehouse ?😅 Hmmm... Latvia ? Norway ? ICELAND🤔)
@@JadedKate aegishjalmur
Why do so many dislike this? It's pure quality. So many people with aweful taste here.
Let's unite, and all vote for this in final, and make it win, to prove the haters it's quality!
Vote this comment up so we all unite and make this win!!!!
its natural reaction from other contestors funbase. Sad, but natural.
Well done Belgium! Well done Hooverphonic! It was a great surprise for me listen this music. It become one of my favorites this year. Refined, melodic, enigmatic, balanced, ... No words! Greetings from Portugal and good luck. Stay safe everyone.
Good luck for tomorrow, I think that Portugal will be a sure qualifier.
@@littleprincess8526 I hope so! Thanks for your support!
Glad to saw Europe's appreciation for this masterpiece!
Belgium you deserved that 🇬🇷❤️🇧🇪

@@konstantinossss Εννοείται και την δική μου
I'm so happy, for a moment I thought this masterprice wouldn't qualified, when I saw the results I jumped out of bed. This is a dark horse. Well deserved
Every year, belgium comes up with this dark and omnious amazing songs. This year miggt be the one they win it. Fingers crossed!
I’ve never listend to the Eurovision songs 2021 before, planned to listen to them the first time when the shows are, and it’s simply my most favorite from all in semifinal 1 and right now my most favorite and if it doesn’t change I will give Belgium 2 votes at the final.
BELGIUM 🇧🇪 what a delivery!! Wow incredible song 🤩🤩🤩I was so worried they wouldnt go through.. 😰 I Will vote for this in the final! 12 points from Sweden 👏🏼👏🏼
We were all a bit worried when Australia and Ukraine were still on there 😅 The audience exploded haha ! Congrats to you guys as well 🙂
Sweden is very good to!! Good luck from belgium 🇧🇪🇸🇪
I see Sweden as the winner. Your song is so empowering. You should finish top 3
One of my favourite this year!! Thia dark, loop staging its just wow!!!! Belgium I have voted for you in the semi finals and I am voting for you in the finals for sure!!!! Good luck from Cyprus!! ❤❤
Welcome back to the Grand Final, Belgium!
Hooverphonic proved that Eurovision is not the wrong place for their style of music. 😌
Dear Hooverphonic (Belgium), thank you so much for taking a part in esc 2021. I can't express how happy I am to see one of my favorite bands in the world performing on this stage 🇦🇿♥️🇧🇪 Mad about you, Eden, and 2 wicky are some of my favorite songs by you.
My heart is melting, I feel goosebumps listening to this masterpiece.
Lots of support, love, and warm regards from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 to Belgium 🇧🇪
Many thanks for your warm reaction in their performance. We are pride they represent us on Eurovision. ❤️❤️ from Belgium ❤️❤️
Same, I literally screamed when i heard their name and then was confirmed that it was that same Hooverphonic lol
I'm from Azerbaijan too
I could not image final without them!!! ☺☺☺
It feels like listening to an old legendary song. ✨✨Very impressed😍😍😍my vote for you❤️❤️❤️
this was one of two songs that actually left me with an impact yesterday, didnt fully appreciate it the first time hearing it but it had enough of a hook to get me to come back after the show was over. cant stop listening to it now, its definitely more unique and stands out :) it was sad to see so many people boo the fact that it got through (at least where i was looking) will be rooting for them in the finals!
I am so pleasantly surprised that they went through, I love these dark Belgian songs~
@M D Sure, buddy.
@M D I literally seen you in like 10+ comments here, how bout instead get a grip and understand that perhaps it wasn't all Belgium's fault xD. Like sure I'm pissed off that Croatia didn't make it, but that's just Eurovision and a gem will always fall out. Im interestes to see the full results of this semi-final to see how close it was.
I've been loving them for 10+ years and didn't expect them to be in Eurovision at all! Go go go!
No other song stood out like this, the only one that spoke to me
Honestly - it's hard not to love Belgium entries (Eliot, Blanche). This year is no different, another amazing song. Keep it up Belgium - now i'm gonna go and listen to it over and over again. Greetings from Poland.
Don't forget Loïc Nottet. The best artist.
Tom Dice wasn't bad as well
@@Buffalohomer yes he is now in a couple called The Starlings with Kato, his ... well I wanted to say girlfriend, but I think it's his fiancee (since a couple weeks actually) 🤔
They & their music fit so well together
How you forget Löic Nottet, that dude was the best. My top 5 of all time.
And Telex and Pas de Deux. Real pioneers, 20 years ahead of their time. But completely ridiculized by the press because it was too modern for that time.
One of my four favourites this year, such a strong vibe! 🖤 Love from finland
Vanaf de dag van de release stak ik mijn enthousiasme voor België dit jaar niet onder stoelen of banken. En ik wil het eigenlijk niet zeggen maar, I TOLD YOU SO. gefeliciteerd Hooverphonic met het beste optreden van de avond. Buiten onze pauze act uiteraard.
so underrated and maybe too big and deep for this competition
Edit: they did it!!! I only voted for them SO HAPPY my jaw dropped
