hate me, but this is currently the best male ballad in 2024. Slimane is up there as well, but Mustii hit right through my heart and made me feel things I've never felt before. Mustii is just a force to be reckoned with & to all the people who love him on Drag Race Belgique will somewhat be introduced to a more different and more artistic side/facet of him. Aside from being a Eurovision Entry, this is one of the best songs I've heard in a long time. But with all Belgian entries I fear that they might be too artistic to grab the audience (like Sennek) or artistic enough to reach the audience (like Loic, Blanche and The Hooverphonics did). Belgium does dark pop the best and "Before the party's over" is a/the prime example of that genre. I was expecting a good song, but I didn't expect it to be that good.
The fact that is is a slower song for the first 2 minutes will do it more good than bad I think. Especially since (so far) there are soooo many upbeat 'party' songs in the competition as well. Those last 30 seconds sell it and make it a good earworm that people will remember. In some way, it reminds me of Arcade as well for some strange reason since the similarities are minimal haha!
When Gustaph was seventh, this must be the winner this year imo. Precisely, it might be so that the first two minutes are more impressive live. With all the quality singing, high notes and all that.
"Goeienavond" (Good evening) Noosh, and everyone else who reads this. And thank you for sharing your very welcome and appreciated opinion. 🙏 Being a more house style fan, I wasn't immediately convinced at the start of the song. But after the first 2 minutes I really got impressed on how the arrangement builds. (the orchestral approach, the choir) But doesn't the song require a bit more intense beats, and shouldn't it ideally have ended into a pure solo vocal outburst? As always, final appreciation will depend a lot on staging, and that's something our country never has been a master in. Appropriate lighting though, with hopefully an explosion of light at the end, might turn this into a very spectacular experience. The song definitely should qualify for the finals, but is it perhaps too dark and heavy to reach a top 10 ranking? I think, just as last year, I might be surprised. And that's what this diversity contest is all about, is't it? 💛
In all the years I’ve watched Eurovision I’ve never picked Belgium as a contender until today. Belgium’s best song in years. And yes I also expected a banger haha but was shocked in a good way.
You totally don’t understand the song. This is made to perform live. The building up is what makes this song stand out. This could be the winner this year. It’s a breath of fresh air between so much cheap garbage.
it's hard to say, i don't think at all this is a potential winner but this could definitely get a top 10 at the same time tho i wouldn't be surprised if it NQs
Ouch, that's harsh 💀 Just because a song is "cheap" and doesn't have a bazillion hours of production put into it doesnt mean that it's garbage imao. And I don't think Belgium's song is that good. To me it's just a big vocal flex that is trying to come off as dramatic and meaningful, but I dont see an artistic vision at all. It really is a song written for the sole purpose of doing good in esc
@@simonlmrtz with all the garbage in that SF, this is qualifying on one leg. He’s a great performer and singer. He will even elevate this live. This is a potential winner without any doubt.
Enjoyed on first listen, but the final bit drags on a bit long. If live performance of the song includes him changing tones and stretching some of the words for longer instead of repeating it in the same manner and tone over and over, then that’ll be nice. He really should change pitch between some of them if possible to make it more dynamic.
Currently it's my number one and I don't think it'll change. The only thing is that there should be a great show in the beginning, because it's much better to whach music video than just listen on Spotify. On the other hand the song is not that long and has constant build up, so it's hard to get bored before the 2nd chorus, so I'm sure it will be high with good vocals.
Hey Noosh! Thank u very much for your review I’m the back vocalist of Mustii’s song, u can hear my voice at the end of his song And of course, 12 points from Spain to Belgium definitely ❤❤❤
I dont worry about you personally not warming up to it, i think we all know by know that slower songs are not your preference. Ballad lovers seem to really like it so i think this will be fine.
No because Belgium speaks 3 languages. What if it’s a French song? then the Dutch and German side won’t understand the lyrics lmao. Not everyone speaks all languages
There is something missing in this song. You have to wait until the end to see an interesting part. My country always sends dark pop it's a bit of a shame to always stay in the same style
It's good. Very Sia-esque... the ending is the best part but I feel there is another level to hit before the song finished and he didn't go there, just a big massive super high "Woooo-ooo-ooo'' or something... maybe he'll will live
@@InezFeytons ??!? It's like with some countries' entries, everyone "must" agree to like them, otherwise they get thrown up on... While it's seen as quite "ok" to hate some countries' entries. 🙄How utterly stupid, pretentious and also wrong.
So happy you don't like this either, Noosh! I don't get the hype at all, this is SO overrated. I was bored throughout the song, and especially at the end, when he just kept on repeating the same phrase over and over and over...

Facts!
YESSSS !!!! 🫶🫶👏👏👏🇧🇪💖
It's not really a ballad, it's dark pop, not the same style as Slimane.
Yeah, this is decent and so is France. On the other hand, Latvia does nothing to me...
Lit, my winner currently unless Maria Sur wins Melodifestivalen.
This is actually my winner so far
I totally agree ❤
Gåte and Mustii ❤
Yep - I probably have other favs but this the first time I've thought as soon as I heard it - yes legitimate chance to win.

Even as a Belgian, I am blown away. What a voice, what a talent.
Veel succes Mustii❤
This actually blew me away with my ear pods whilst walking today. Give it a couple of listens and I’m like yes! 🙌 brilliant song ❤️
When Gustaph was seventh, this must be the winner this year imo. Precisely, it might be so that the first two minutes are more impressive live. With all the quality singing, high notes and all that.
This is now my number one, this song is totally amazing ❤
For me, the only song so far that sounds like a winner
And how something should sound to sound like a winner?

love this song masterpice song 12 pints from the netherlands go to belgium
It really surprised me, the last seconds are soooo powerful. 🤯😍
This is going to win the contest

For me … winner alert. 🚨
What a song ! What a performer
Love it from the 1st second 🤩
When this was a Swedich entry , is was for everybody already the winner , but its from Belgium so we have to wait .
Wrong. Apart from his voice the first 2 mins sound bland
No, this is SO very overrated and overhyped, just like Swedish entries always.
This song sounds like a winner and I see this as a winner
For me it's a mix between Arcade and Tattoo :)
Tattoo😅 there is basically no Tattoo in this song
Nor Arcade.

For me personally it takes way to get to the actual good part of the song. Ending phenomenal but can't see it winning only because of the ending..
masterpiece.
I think this is my fav so far...great vocals, it does take two mins to build but hey some things are worth waiting for, hope it does well

Fantastic song . Straight in my top 3 after only a couple of listens . Cant wait to see / hear it live.

Belgium is a winner
My favourite at the moment along with France and Ukraine.
Hey Noosh!
Thank u very much for your review
I’m the back vocalist of Mustii’s song, u can hear my voice at the end of his song
And of course, 12 points from Spain to Belgium definitely ❤❤❤
You’re one of the back vocalists, there are so many others too
@@evaldk1574 yes it is
Same.....I say likely bc we dont know who really made the cut....they said 1000+ people did the line.
I dont worry about you personally not warming up to it, i think we all know by know that slower songs are not your preference. Ballad lovers seem to really like it so i think this will be fine.
This is my favorite entry!
Iolanda - GRITO performance from F.C.T.: ruclips.net/video/vxI2ptUPDXc/видео.htmlsi=uR9akFy7g8hpgJoz
I just wish Belgium would finally send a non English entry
So you want a song you can’t understand? Shut up please
Euh... No we don't want to do that. Maybe made up language yes.
So you can listen to a song you don't understand? What a dumb idea
@@realStarTom Bit narrow minded
No because Belgium speaks 3 languages. What if it’s a French song? then the Dutch and German side won’t understand the lyrics lmao. Not everyone speaks all languages
Guten Mooorgen! 😂
Mustii is also actor in the first season of La Trêve (The Break) on Netflix. A tort a raison was also a Belgian show, and not French?
i like it
Can’t wait for Israel song reaction
The new DPR IAN
There is something missing in this song. You have to wait until the end to see an interesting part. My country always sends dark pop it's a bit of a shame to always stay in the same style
I love your dark pop though 😂
i did sing also into the choir :)
Sound a little like Adam Lambert with mix of few artists but I really like it.
My Top 1
I don't know why, it reminds me of Duran Duran - Come Undone in that pre-chorus part. It has that vibe.
I LOVE this it gives me goosebumps
Sheldon Riley vibes , a bit risky for this you need to nail staging 🤔
I love Belgium. But my Heart is for Baby Lasagna❤🇭🇷
It's good. Very Sia-esque... the ending is the best part but I feel there is another level to hit before the song finished and he didn't go there, just a big massive super high "Woooo-ooo-ooo'' or something... maybe he'll will live
Escept Sia actually has great, catchy songs. Which this is not.
I totally agree with you.. I don't get the hype at all. I like only the last minute and still he sings only one phrase...
Same
The same!
As usual, the hypers are the loudest (even though a minority), that's how it always is ;D Especially with generic songs like this.
@@elvinam888 Facts!! 😄
@@elvinam888 There is nothing generic about this song, especially because 27 songs are cheap garbage
Not sure about this one😕
Winner
I don't get the hype about this entry... it's good but not a winner or top 5 material for me
Belgium not to sing in english challenge: failed....again.
At first I didn't like Belgium's song because I prefer songs like Italy 2024. But try to listen three four times more and your opinion will change 😉
Befire this song was relesed i was thinking that italy is the most overrated, for me mustiis song is quite boring and gets good to late
Both are very overrated, yes.
Are you kidding? 😂
I don't Like this song sorry😢
I think this is really overrated, his vocals are great though :)
It's okay but nothing more than that. Great visuals but song is flat and boring, hyped way too much as usual 👎
🤮🤮🤮🤬🤬🤬
@@InezFeytons ??!? It's like with some countries' entries, everyone "must" agree to like them, otherwise they get thrown up on... While it's seen as quite "ok" to hate some countries' entries. 🙄How utterly stupid, pretentious and also wrong.
Best song this year. Will certainly top 5. Underrated.
my favourite is still norway and france
So happy you don't like this either, Noosh! I don't get the hype at all, this is SO overrated. I was bored throughout the song, and especially at the end, when he just kept on repeating the same phrase over and over and over...
This is boring & overrated, yes! you go, Noosh! 😉
everyone wants a build in a song, this had a amazing build and than it isn’t good, anyways, winner potential!🫶🏼
