Belgium in EuroMusic Song Contest 9

Belgium participated in the ninth 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 ninth participation the Flemish broadcaster decided to select their submission internally. They announced to select a song in English. Later it was clear that they would perform: "A matter of time" in Gothenborg.

At EuroMusic Song Contest
Belgium was drawn to perform second, following Greece and preceding Morocco.

Belgium was counted as possible winner of this edition. However, they didn't win, but finished at the fourth place with 114 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.
