Belgium BELGIUM 2015 - Loïc Nottet - Rhythm Inside

[Mlyn]

This song will not forgive a missed note or getting sang out of tune. Acoustic nightmare in the making.

I really like this song due the Lorde-ish vibe :3
This is growing up on my dying Top...

I want to like it, but it's just not connecting with me on the first listen. 7 points for now - could veer way into one direction or the other.

6 points. Modern song with the mentioned Lorde-vibe. His voice is interesting, but it doesn't yet click.

This is great, my new favourite this year. Belgium, you have officially delivered!

I knew it!
Ever since Loic was announced as the singer, I had a feeling that he was going to deliver something great.
Well done, I love it! 12 points.

Good song. With a good staging, it can do very well. 8 points.

I can't take him seriously. He sounds like a young boy who has listened to his favourite warbling diva's a few too many times, and has morphed into one. You'd be forgiven for thinking he's an amateur singer covering someone else's song. The accent is really off putting and the whole thing sounds like a youtube fan cover, until you get to the chorus where it actually comes together a bit better. His voice is androgynous which I quite like. Listening to it three times now, I genuinely have mixed feelings about it. I think it's awful, but at the same time, it's something that is quite unusual. It's got a smidgen of dissonance to it in the chorus (and I live for dissonance) but i'm not in love with it as a whole. The composition is different though and it sticks out in such a dull year. I think this is gonna be the "Birds" of 2015 for me. Love/hate relationship with the song. It's not quite the epic car crash I was thinking it would be, more like a drag queen on a unicycle, wobbling down some steps. It's ok. It deserves my 6 points because it's actually challenging me, rather than just causing that dreadful feeling of indifference many of us know far too well this year.

He is the next step after Conchita: A male diva not in drag and without a beard singing like a woman and having a far from catchy tune.

It's very underwhelming...
