BELGIUM 2013 - Roberto Bellarosa - Love kills

[Sim]

I agree.. I think people have actually been really harsh calling him ugly.
I think he has some cute features actually, not the best looking guy, but he's far from ugly too.

If he can't sing, that's a different thing.

That's true, I really hope he had a sore throat, otherwise we have no chance at all to qualify, even if they revamp the song successfully

 

[A-lister]

Everyone has his opinion about that, for me he is just a normal guy, not ugly, not really beautiful..
But that how things goes in Belgian talentshows (like Idol, the Voice, Belgium got talent)

I have erased my points and wait for the final version of the song to cast a vote

Of course it's subjective. It's funny that when talking about artists or celebrities or whatever, the superlatives are always extreme. I admit I am one of those aswell who exaggerate things like that.

So he may not be ugly, but he is far from attractive imo.

I think he isnt very beautiful, but not ugly. Anyway are we in a fashion thread or a music thread

We're in a Eurovision forum filled with gays... go figure

 

[Sim]

He is not my type of boy but that doesn't mean i find him ugly
Maybe it's better to talk about this presence, then we forget for a time his singing

 

[vavera4ka]

I think when people call him "ugly" what they mean is that he is not the kind of singer that tweens and/or soccer moms will blindly follow no matter what because his eyes are dreamy, or smile is to die for, or abs you can grate cheese on, etc

 

[toinou03]

He may not be hot but I find him very cute actually...

By the way, Love kills is a good song, but would be better by a danish singer or something... Reste-toi fits him... They shouls have picked that one...
But Belgium thinks it will fail by sending French-speaking acts, because of Nuno Resende or Natalie Sorce. But Natalie Sorce didn't fail because the song was in French but because she was reaaaaaaaaaaaally the worst one can imagine, with everything cheesy as hell !
Plus, if Roberto wants to be known in France, he should have sticked to French also !

 

[LakZaNokte]

ok, first listening.
i have a weird feeling this has some hidden potential.
the problem here is that we barely hear the music in this video, it's almost a capella :?

won't rank it yet cause i want to hear some better version (live ofc), it would be nice if that version had some music
for now, it seems a bit flat but like i said, i need better video

 

[alca]

Definitely better than last year's song but I can't decide how many points to give it. I kinda like it the one moment and the next I find it meh. I will wait for quite a long time until I cast my vote!

 

[EscGeek]

...still my last placer ,but I don't hate it anymore

 

[seb89]

Omg why didn't they stick with French...

His English isn't really bad imo, but his voice is a bit weird. Didn't Tom Dice got the same negative criticism about his voice & English?

Yes! He's cute & hot, at least hotter than Dice

as far as I remember , Tom Dice got a lot of critics on his clothing in the NF

They should stick to French...

Tom Dice was vocally ok and his English aswell, but then again he's a flemish right? So my prejudice tells me it's better English there.

This guy cuter and hoter than Dice? Nah, this guy is not good-looking imo at all, Dice's "cuteness" saved that song though.

 

[Mickey]

As a heterosexual male, I'm not all that qualified to comment on his hotness, but I will say this. He looks like the kid from Two and a Half Men.

Yup, French would have suited him better .

I'm not sure, if Flemish people are better in English though, look at that girl from last year. She was from Flanders and her English wasn't good.

I think the French accent in his English makes him cuter. Nope, I never understood why people thought Dice was hot or cute. I definitely prefer Roberto over him. It's a matter of taste I guess .

My ranking of the NF-songs:

1. Love kills
2. Be heroes
3. Reste toi

Love kills isn´t bad imo, but nothing really special. I gave it 6 points.

 

[VikingTiger]

I have given Love Kills some time now. And it sure isnt improving. Still I find if very forgettable. I have a hard time seing Belgium in the Final this year. I am still suprised that Love Kills was chosen...

 

[DanielLuis]

I listened to the song forn the first time.
He definetely needs to work on his English, but his voice is not that bad.
The song is very bland and predictable. The worst entry so far I think.

 

[Stuff]

he needs diction lessons or just sing this song in french

 

[Kryptonite]

"Love Kills" is co-written by Jukka Immonen (Finnish songwriter and producer). Here's what he said about the song:

Jukka Immonen tells YLE X3M website that he is not sure how the song ended up in Belgium. It was written two or three years ago, and I can't even remember who for, he says. Then someone in Cyprus found it and decided it should go to Eurovision, but how it turned up in Belgium I do not know, he continues. I don't know if this is the final version of the Belgian song, he says. I would have made it more electronic and disco, but I am not going to produce the Belgian entry, says Immonen. But I am proud of my song and will stand behind it, the UMK mentor concludes.
