Belgium in EuroMusic Song Contest 5

Belgium participated in the fifth 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 fifth participation of Belgium, and the third one of the Flemish broadcaster VRT, they decided to select their submission internally. It was the first edition that Belgium sended a song in English.

The VRT presented the song "Kick the habit".

At EuroMusic Song Contest
Belgium was drawn to perform seventeenth, and last, following Italy.

When the voting was over, it was clear that they finished 9th, out of 17 countries. They received 39 points.

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.
