I've done some digging and it turns out Belgium is actually a musical powerhouse. Relying on smaller budgets has forced them to blur the lines of known genres and turn to real talent and small projects instead.
Loved Hooverphonic since discovering them years ago by chance when I heard the amazing song Mad About You. I would put Release me in the same catergory as it. Superb band. Too cultured , distinguished , sophisticated and talented for Eurovision.
This is an example of pure quality and emotion. If Eurovision would only be about music, this song deserves to win. Congratulations Hooverphonic, this song is magic and goes with an adorable voice. I wish you good luck.
It is kinda sad that Eurovision has no longer an orchestra for a song like this. Congratulations Hooverphonic, this is an absolutely beautiful entry! Crossing my fingers for seeing you at the final 🤞🏻
@AJ van de Kerkhof is dat zo? Het zou wat voor het MO zijn, die kunnen dat makkelijk aan. Maar heb die rumor nog niet eerder gehoord. Het zou wel een fikse verbetering zijn. Of ben ik nu te nostalgisch 😊
I hope the staging will be bang on. A song like this needs an orchestra. Create one with hologram-like images, maybe create an orchestra of people you've lost during the performance. Make it visually memorable.
When I first heard this song to represent my country It felt not good. Now I have discovered the beauty of it. It is a real growner. The more you hear it the better it gets.
I quite like this song. I think it will be one of those songs which becomes something really special when it's performed live. Good luck to Hooverphonic and to Belgium!
One of the best songs this year. Finally a song with influences from a great band. This one seems to be inspired in Portishead. The jazz vibe, the guitars, the orchestra in the background and the soft beat of the drums give it a very Portishead look wich is a band that I love. Her hypnotic voice make us dream. A potential winner for me. (7/10).
Most of what you're likely referring to isn't AutoTune, but other pitch shifting programs. That being said, this has it too, just not in the way you've come to think of when you hear the term. That's not to take away from the song, a good producer can take you from good to great.
EMOTIONAL MELODY !! CLEAR VOICE !!! SIMPLY REAL WORDS !!! I WANT TO CRY HEARING IT !!! IT'S SPEAKING DIRECTLY TO MY HEART !!! LOVE IT !!! GREETINGS FROM GREECE ... 💗💗💗
Apart from the fact that there's no "Eurovision", there are people who vote and juries. I would love to see more genre diversity at Eurovision, it shouldn't be conceived as generic pop song contest.
People have tastes. Don't even try to understand why people complaining about it. It's not satisfying everyone, so people are disappointed and expecting more, thats why complaining.
It's just a James Bond Anthem!! And what a beautiful voice of Luca!! Les douze points de la Pays-Bas, va á La Belgique!!! Greetings from the Netherlands 😀
I'm a huge fan of these kind of songs!! Belgium continues with these dark songs with soooo high quality!! The best of luck to this ICONIC band! So much love from Greece to you Belgium💜💜💜
Thank you Greece, but we will not qualify (again). This song isn't for Eurovision (again). People don't understand this kind of music. Even if it's very complicated to sing this, people don't hear it, most think it's just a very boring song.
@@littleprincess8526 I agree that it's not for everyone in Eurovision, but remember: you have houverphonic. I trust them 100%. They know what to do. Trust them and you will qualify this year🙏✌

I know Hooverphonic for years ("Anger never dies", "Harmless shapes"), only the singer was someone else. The style has not changed. This deepnes is TOO AMBITIOUS for Eurovision.
Watch out, Europe! This could really be the dark horse of this year's Eurovision. Don't forget that the Common Linnets (NL, 2014) were also initially regarded as boring but ended up 2nd to be remembered as one of those Eurovision classics!
Belgium on eurovision... From Love power 2007. and bottom of a bottom, to serving a pure quality 4 years in a row and my favourute country. But, this song and theese violins at the end, totaly broke me down. This is magic. Results and everything else are not important. Greetings from Serbia!
For me personally it is perfect. I thought Norway would be at my top for a while but Belgium again blew it out of the water for me. As long as the staging/performance/outfits are much better than in 2018/2019 they should qualify for sure.
@@eviken1982 I 100% agree with you on Ukraine. Probably will be at the bottom of my list. Depending on Hooverphonic's live performance either Belgium or Norway will probably be my number one. I'm not expecting any country to challenge Belgium and Norway except Bulgaria. You can count on me to vote for Belgium for sure in the first SF

If i vote for patriotic reasons, then - Little Big. But if i vote for music that i want to listen every day, this is definitely Hooverfonic. Belgium is my favorite! With love from Russia.
This is the sort of song that should win but I’m worried it won’t qualify 😔 Good luck Belgium! Stunningly beautiful song, you have my vote this year, love from Scotland 🥰❤️🇧🇪🏴
She deserves to in 2023 tbh.. the way they dropped is so disrespectful. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Geike this year and she’s an amazing singer, no doubt. But they still did Luka so wrong
I' know for some people it sounds boring, the first time that i heard that it sounds for me boring but i hear it over and over Again and now i LOVE this song i listen it every day when i go to school some people think this song isn't going to win but look at Portugal in 2017 most people didn't expect that so i believe belgium has a chance to win. Ps i'm from belgium 🇧🇪 ( and no it's not that i like the song because it's my country i love the text and style and i'm happy hooverphonic made this song)

Been a fan of Hooverphonic for a few years now. Super happy that you guys are going to represent Belgium in Eurovision this year.Excited for this entry,it reminds me of Mad About You song
I've always liked songs from Belgium, in 2018, 2018, and now, in 2020. They are all dark and deep, and i like it very much. No matter what, thank you, Belgium, for you beautiful Eurovision songs.❤❤❤ With love from Russia~
I know this band for so long time. I like their songs and I am so glad to see them in Eurovision. Thanks for incredible songs. You are a new level. 12 points from Russia❤️
Да-да, я тоже их обожаю много лет! И очень удивлена, узнав, что они будут участвовать. Классная группа и отличная песня, зацепила с первого прослушивания)
Belgium has a 50/50 shot with this to the final in May, The song overall is giving me James Bond Vibes, this sounds like this should be in another James Bond movie (if they make one). Pretty Good Belgium.
For all the people calling this Boring, that’s the vibe of hooverphonic. Go to their RUclips channel. I personaly think this is a good song, hooverphonic knows what they are doing and have a lot of stage experience. Pretty good song in my opinion
It's completely possible too, considering it happened in 2012-2013. First Sweden in 2012 with Euphoria, then in 2013 its neighboring country. I believe in you Belgium
I have known Hooverphonic for a very long time and I must say: they have way better songs. Mad About You, Vinegar and Salt, Anger Never Dies, even Romantic is better. This song is vocally dull, and not many options for staging imo. I'm Belgian and I'm actually quite scared this will score really badly, and it will hurt Hooverphonic's career. They first had an ABBA song for eurovision but then decided to go for this song (I still don't get why)
Me. I'm currently drafting out a script for my review video of "The Wrong Place" and having watched the preview video of "The Wrong Place" a few times, I've watched this again to remind myself of it and compare it to "The Wrong Place". I prefer "Release Me".
This song really is a masterpiece. Wonderful music, amazing voice and pure emotion. In my opinion, way too good for Eurovision, where most of the songs are not about the music, the voice, the talent, or the song itself, but more about the glitter and the show. A pitty… This song might be the surprise of Eurovision 2020. I hope so to be honest… Thank you for your wonderful music Hooverphonic. I love this piece of art.
The Video is 3:12 long. 3:12 = 192 Seconds 192 x 1.000.000 = 192.000.000 Seconds 192.000.000 Seconds = 3200000 Minutes 3200000 Minutes = 53333,33 Hours 53333,33 Hours = 2222,22 Days 2222,22 Days = 317,46 Weeks 317,46 Weeks = 73,06 Months 73,06 Months = 6,08 Years You need about 6 Years to hear this Song a million times. This Song was released on 17th February 2020. You wrote this comment 4 Days ago... This is a difference of 11 Days. Either you're a time traveler or you, sir, are a liar.
Actually it wasn't like that.. Alex Callier is the band manager and he fired her via a Zoom call. They got what they deserved. Luka is a very talented singer. I thought they would've had a better chance with her. And I now hope her solo carreer takes of.
@@kevindevlieger300 I know they fired her, I just said that for the meme 😂 also 19th is not bad at all, especially if you take into account they were not even expected to qualify
Finally a real song, not a copy of a copy of a copy like the rest. Mister Calier can write proper songs.. No computers, real drums, guitar, bass, violins. My neighbours from the south, max points from me...
Thanks! I don't know if we will qualify because of all the basic ballads and bops. but for me, it's about the fact that we brought a quality song to Rdam.
@@ianwalters6264 esc got cancelled. It's been official since today. Hooverphonic wants to participate next year, but with another song because he thinks it will be boring if the song is released 1 year ago. But the thing is... Belgium has Dutch speaking and french speaking broadcasters switching every year. Hooverphonic was chosen by the Dutch speaking broadcaster and next year it's the turn of the french one, so we don't know what the french broadcaster wants... keep hooverphonic or choose someone else. It's up to them :/

I love it
Its my number 2 atm so I like it yee
It's beautiful. I just hope it's not too vanilla to do well.
I loved it from the first listen. I love how this song manages to mesmorise me every time. It's just charming
Listening to this song on repeat could lead to severe depression.😂
This is the sort of song that should win but I’m worried it won’t qualify 😔 Good luck Belgium! Stunningly beautiful song, you have my vote this year, love from Scotland 🥰❤️🇧🇪🏴
thanks Ross, that's why Scotland was against the Brexit ;-)
Who else thinks that Luka should represent Belgium in 2022?
Its Wallonia their turn to pick a song then
@@huysnathan Doesn't mean that Wallonia can't select Luka, right?
@@melissa9905 Wallonia has to choose one who’s from Wallonia (someone who speaks French) The year after, it’s again someone who’s Flemish :)
She deserves to in 2023 tbh.. the way they dropped is so disrespectful. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Geike this year and she’s an amazing singer, no doubt. But they still did Luka so wrong
@@mayissalty6279 yes, I completely agree (Even though I prefer The Wrong Place hugely to Release Me
I' know for some people it sounds boring, the first time that i heard that it sounds for me boring but i hear it over and over Again and now i LOVE this song i listen it every day when i go to school some people think this song isn't going to win but look at Portugal in 2017 most people didn't expect that so i believe belgium has a chance to win. Ps i'm from belgium 🇧🇪 ( and no it's not that i like the song because it's my country i love the text and style and i'm happy hooverphonic made this song)
This is pure class, love it.
Пахнет атмосферой 00-вых. Как же это прекрасно 😍 я влюбилась
да,обалденная песня
Прекрасная песня
Я тоже! С первых нот.
Oksana Mi пахнет: Медлячок, чтобы ты заплакала.
И пусть звучат они все одинаково.
И пусть банально, и не талантливо;
Но как сумел - на гитаре сыграл и спел.👍🏽
Совершенно согласен: Radiohead, Portishead, etс. Наслушаться не могу.
Been a fan of Hooverphonic for a few years now. Super happy that you guys are going to represent Belgium in Eurovision this year.Excited for this entry,it reminds me of Mad About You song
First official video 😀♥️
I love this song! Good luck Belgium😄♥️
This song is so underrated
Would have been the dark horse
real music, not eurovision-oriented, despite any minor flaws that will definitely be corrected. deserves top 5
This is different but I really like it, I love how Hooverphonic stuck to their values with the best entry of Eurovision 2020 so far.
I've always liked songs from Belgium, in 2018, 2018, and now, in 2020. They are all dark and deep, and i like it very much. No matter what, thank you, Belgium, for you beautiful Eurovision songs.❤❤❤ With love from Russia~
Sending love back!
I can see why people say that this is boring but this is my fave music genre! CONGRATS❤️
Who liked Hooverphonic before they entered Eurovision?
LOVE THEM!
Me)))
I know this band for so long time. I like their songs and I am so glad to see them in Eurovision. Thanks for incredible songs. You are a new level. 12 points from Russia❤️
Да-да, я тоже их обожаю много лет! И очень удивлена, узнав, что они будут участвовать. Классная группа и отличная песня, зацепила с первого прослушивания)
@@sottovoce_24 рада, что я не одна такая😊 печально, что всем понравилось исполнение Литвы, но почти никто не отметил Бельгию😔
Belgium has a 50/50 shot with this to the final in May, The song overall is giving me James Bond Vibes, this sounds like this should be in another James Bond movie (if they make one). Pretty Good Belgium.
funnily enough i the sidebar next to your comment youtube recommends skyfall by adele. coincidence?
Also Sennek's song gives James Bond vives, I think Belgian television loves him
I thought the same. Better than the Billie Eillish song for the new James Bond.
Goldfinger....Adele....BhA!!!?!?!?
The major reason that I watch esc is Belgium !
12 points
Legendary band, one of my favorite. I like the song + I am the big fan of band since 2012-2013, Ukraine.
For all the people calling this Boring, that’s the vibe of hooverphonic. Go to their RUclips channel. I personaly think this is a good song, hooverphonic knows what they are doing and have a lot of stage experience. Pretty good song in my opinion
I think they will at least be in the top 10
It's completely possible too, considering it happened in 2012-2013. First Sweden in 2012 with Euphoria, then in 2013 its neighboring country. I believe in you Belgium
People that think that this is boring only want selections like Czech Republic
I think the same. And i love the song.
I have known Hooverphonic for a very long time and I must say: they have way better songs. Mad About You, Vinegar and Salt, Anger Never Dies, even Romantic is better. This song is vocally dull, and not many options for staging imo. I'm Belgian and I'm actually quite scared this will score really badly, and it will hurt Hooverphonic's career. They first had an ABBA song for eurovision but then decided to go for this song (I still don't get why)
Who here after "The Wrong Place"?)
i’m there 😌 and i think it was way better than the wrong place...
Both The Wrong Place and Release Me are very good.
yeah and both are amazingly good!
Me. I'm currently drafting out a script for my review video of "The Wrong Place" and having watched the preview video of "The Wrong Place" a few times, I've watched this again to remind myself of it and compare it to "The Wrong Place". I prefer "Release Me".
Where is the vocalist from The Wrong Place? She is absolutely magnetic and I miss her here
This song really is a masterpiece. Wonderful music, amazing voice and pure emotion. In my opinion, way too good for Eurovision, where most of the songs are not about the music, the voice, the talent, or the song itself, but more about the glitter and the show. A pitty… This song might be the surprise of Eurovision 2020. I hope so to be honest… Thank you for your wonderful music Hooverphonic. I love this piece of art.
Imo even if this won't do well, we still brought quality to the contest. And that's the most important to me
This is my favorite one. Sending you love from Croatia 🇭🇷❤
A pearl of quality in ESC 2020.
Belgium would be the winner this year. Hooverphonic is the best. I love Belgian musicians so much
This song has to win. I have listened it million times already
The Video is 3:12 long.
3:12 = 192 Seconds
192 x 1.000.000 = 192.000.000 Seconds
192.000.000 Seconds = 3200000 Minutes
3200000 Minutes = 53333,33 Hours
53333,33 Hours = 2222,22 Days
2222,22 Days = 317,46 Weeks
317,46 Weeks = 73,06 Months
73,06 Months = 6,08 Years
You need about 6 Years to hear this Song a million times.
This Song was released on 17th February 2020.

Either you're a time traveler or you, sir, are a liar.
Congratz bro. You saved the world now. :)
Daniel Donovan no dude you are wrong . Maybe i have listened it 1.000.000x fast version :)
@@ugurmutlu8640 😱
Wowww
It was very good answer!
I'm loving this!!!
Respect for Belgium for always bringing quality!
Good luck in Rotterdam!
Thanks Filip
Hooverphonic: We are coming back next year!
Luka: Imma head out
Actually it wasn't like that.. Alex Callier is the band manager and he fired her via a Zoom call.
They got what they deserved. Luka is a very talented singer. I thought they would've had a better chance with her. And I now hope her solo carreer takes of.
@@kevindevlieger300 I know they fired her, I just said that for the meme 😂 also 19th is not bad at all, especially if you take into account they were not even expected to qualify
@@kevindevlieger300 why did they fired her?
I love this song. Greetings from Schiedam, The Netherlands.
I love it. It´s beautiful, emotional, sophisticated. Only music.
I keep coming back here without realizing it. This song is hypnotizing. Oh, release me from the beautiful loop of listening to this song!
I know who I will vote for this year, to Belgium!!👍👍🤩🤩 (in the Eurovision song contest
My favorite🇦🇲❤🇧🇪
This is taste
Это слишком прекрасная песня, чтобы её оценивать на подобном конкурсе. Качество на высоком уровне. Привет из России.
Сначала послышалось believe
i eta gruppa slichkom xorosha dlya etogo konkursa)
самая душевная песня. но не для евро
@@gsmgsm8364 Да и пофиг, зато прозвучит хорошая группа.
Но благодаря Евровидение мы узнали о ней
Belgium Skylar Grey!!! Greetings from Serbia, you have a really good song Belgium!
Really she is)
They need a good staging
If you rely on good staging than your song is in need of saving .
Anasha Literally every Eurovision song relies on staging. Without good staging, it won't appeal the public and juries..
Hmmmmm. Not gonna expect a lot because I expected quite a lot on A Matter of Time (similar-ish because both are dark song) & that didn’t work...
@@megablub06j ye, but Hooverphonic are an elite band and knows how to perform live
This is gonna be very powerful LIVE
Finally a real song, not a copy of a copy of a copy like the rest. Mister Calier can write proper songs.. No computers, real drums, guitar, bass, violins. My neighbours from the south, max points from me...
Me too!
Thanks! I don't know if we will qualify because of all the basic ballads and bops. but for me, it's about the fact that we brought a quality song to Rdam.
@@ianwalters6264 esc got cancelled. It's been official since today. Hooverphonic wants to participate next year, but with another song because he thinks it will be boring if the song is released 1 year ago. But the thing is... Belgium has Dutch speaking and french speaking broadcasters switching every year. Hooverphonic was chosen by the Dutch speaking broadcaster and next year it's the turn of the french one, so we don't know what the french broadcaster wants... keep hooverphonic or choose someone else. It's up to them :/
The bassline’s copied fella..
@@RetardedSealBro All music is copied in one way or another...
Damn, Belgium has so many talented Singers...Loic, Blanche and now Hooverphonic...
ERIBOX and Tamino...
