Belgium BELGIUM 2018 - Sennek - A Matter of Time

[SilentDawn]

Okay first of all I need to say that this isn't my kind of music AT ALL. (In fact, Hungarian entry comes far closer to my taste - aside from the screams that's right up my alley, but I hate screams, and thus the song isn't something for me either. Like, just give me Nightwish (they did try out for Finland ages ago, but alas, they didn't go on))

HOWEVER.

I have this song on repeat and I cannot stop listening to it. Seriously. I have no idea what is happening but I love this song and I'm all for Belgium winning. This is so seriously good and if they pull of the stage, then this can seriously win.

This song should be winning the voting poll!!

 

[Emily21]

I am so obsessed with this song..I'm dying for the live version!

 

[sharkan]

Interview with Sennek. She is a smart girl!

 

[Juliette]

It's lovely!

 

[A-lister]

Actually not a fan

I really liked Belgium last year but this year it's just so so to me, reminds me of a bland version of the Bond songs by Cheryl Crowe and Garbage.

Contrary to last year, I think this will be more of a jury favorite rather than public favorite.

No need to begin with "actually". As soon as I heard it, I assumed you wouldn't be a fan. As a Bond fan, I'm surprises you compared the song to Sheryl Crow and Garbage. I would say it's more in the vein of Skyfall. That kind of music has a lot of fans, so although I think the juries will love it, I think with some good visuals, the public will like it.

In the running order of the first semifinal, Sennek is surrounded by crap. So this means she will easily qualify

Not sure about that. Czech will eat Belgium alive.

2 totally different songs. I don't think they will hurt each other.

Another quality entry from Belgium, I suppose it's just a matter of time before they'll win it at this rate. Most tracks need a few listens before they start clicking with me, but this song grabbed me immediately from the first line. Super slick verses and a powerful chorus sung by a great voice that I don't doubt will deliver in Lisbon. If there's some criticism to be had, the song lacks a buildup. The song doesn't take you on a journey, it just goes on in the same way it started. Juries will surely bring this to the final, but the televoters might need a memorable staging for it to really take off. I think another top 10 finish is very possible, but it's not gonna do as well as Loïc or Blanche. points.

 

[FreeFair]

Worried about this in Televoting. It lacks the immediate appeal of the previous 3 Belgium entries. Juries should carry this artistic, tasteful track through on their own

 

[lolita]

I really adore this song, it is good, quality and strong entry for Belgium, but I also think that she will do worse in televoting than Loïc and Blanche, it doesn't have appeal to capture you for the first listening, like they had.

 

[Ele]

I don't think that Belgium will have trouble with the televoting. It's all about the emotion and if she's gonna give us a good performance, she could really win. Portugal last year didn't have the most captivating song, but he did it with his performance and convinced the public to vote for him.

 

[lolita]

Wow, she is out of tune, that was not expected. I thought her voice is more powerful live.

A lot of bad vocals so far, only Montenegro and Georgia sounding good.

Yeah, I hope they will improve, since i love both Macedonia and Belgium. This part "Echoes, echoes" were like screaming somehow.

 

[JonnyWest]

Is she sick? If not I'm worried...

 

[blein]

The chorus part is close to Julia Samoilova results now all will say that she was sick...
