Belgium in EuroMusic Song Contest 3

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

Selection process
For their third participation of Belgium, and the second one of the Flemish broadcaster VRT, they 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 Dutch speaking part was responsible, it was quite likely they would select a song in Dutch.

The VRT decided to select a song in Dutch. The song was called "Anders".

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

Due the bookmakers, Belgium was counted as possible winner of the contest. During the voting it was clear that they were not able to win the show. They received 101 points, were they came on the fourth place.

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.
