Belgium in EuroMusic Song Contest 2

Belgium participated in the second edition of the EuroMusic Song Contest. Because the VRT was responsible for the previous edition, the RTBF selected an act for this edition.

Selection process
For their second participation the Walloon broadcaster, RTBF, decided to select their submission internally. For this edition, the EBU decided that the countries have to perform a song in their own national language. For Belgium it means that they can select songs in: Dutch, French and German. But because the French speaking part was responsible, it was quite likely they would select a song in French.

The RTBF decided to select a song in French: "Je soir ce soir".

At EuroMusic Song Contest
Belgium was drawn to perform eleventh, following Switzerland and preceding The United Kingdom.

Belgium received 32 points, were they got 8 points fron France, so they became 9th out of 14 participating countries.

Voting
The voting during the final consisted of 50 percent public televoting and 50 percent from a jury deliberation. The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent. This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury could be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently.

Below is a breakdown of points awarded to Belgium and awarded by Belgium in the final.
