Belgium BELGIUM 2018 - Sennek - A Matter of Time

[midnightsun]

The staging and performance weren‘t that bad, but her looks... oh boy. Drugged Zombie style isn‘t for Eurovision, dear!

I'm glad someone noticed this as well! She really looked exhausted.

It's a big shame how it turned out, because the song had potential.

 

[midnightsun]

Yeah, I loved the song, even the performance but why did she have to look that creepy?

 

[Chorizo]

The song is fine but the staging was bad. Nothing was happening on stage. It looks like the staging was inspired by Salvador who just stood on that small satellite stage between the crowd. Sennek also walked around since there is more space on the catwalk but the staging looked like a Salvador copycat and boring. A song like this would have needed to be visually intriguing. Failing to qualify is the result of listening to Salvador's advice, I suppose. Eurovision is fireworks. Sorry, Sennek...

 

[VedatiNet]

deserved not qualification

 

[Ana Raquel]

loved the song but she was completely overshadowed by albania and mikolas

 

[SiXo]

I still don't understand all the fuss even after playing song multiple times. Quite frankly, I still don't see it qualifying.

Told ya so.

 

[Playfulmitch]

Staging was terrible. Such a sultry song deserved smoke effects, more isolated location- not with backdrop of crowd waving flags! Terrible choice doomed it!

 

[Playfulmitch]

Ireland in and Belgium out? Am I having a really bad nightmare?

But Ireland got through!

 

[mauve]

Problem for me was that Sennek didn't own the stage. She looked kind of lonely. Sorry for her and the song. Liked it very much.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I'm disappointed but not really surprised. Some of those camera angles were odd and her facial expressions were too much at times.

I definitely feel like poor staging sunk Belgium last night.

 

[EurovisionSmile]

I wasn't a particular fan of this song, but she convinced me and so did the song. She should have qualified. Lithuania shouldn't. :?

 

[A-lister]

I'm not so surprised, I said initially that the entry is a bit meh and I don't think the public will like it too much and that's what I think happened, that it didn't convince the televoters.

But still, rather have this in the final than Albania if I had to choose but whatever

 

[SirPeterGriffin]

I just want to say this: in the next couple of years, people will still discuss how the hell did Finland and Ireland managed to overcome this superb composition. What a mistake!

 

[DaFlo]

Just like Iceland 16 and Finland 17 wouldn't struggle right? One big one will fail, Belgium ain't safe.

14th of March, called it QwaarJet didn't want to believe :'D

 

[PeterLPZ]

When I see Sennek on stage, I feared that she could fail. It wasn´t good enough. So, for me it´s not a surprise, that Belgium isn´t in the final.

Belgium wasn't a "big one". It had already died before rehearsals even started. No one was surprised it didn't qualify, and I was already resigned to it. The song was strong, I absolutely stand by that. But everything else was a total disaster, and it probably didn't deserve to qualify.

 

[Juliette]

It has started as weak and hasn't improved as the song went on.

 

[LalehForWD]

I'm so sorry Sennek didn't make it. I loved the song.
No doubt the poor staging and her rather hesitant performance played a part. Sad really, as I thought the Belgians had their acts under control, executed a vision and knew their special esc stuff. I hope she will be saved from a bad legacy of this

 

[Yoozek]

Now I don't understand one thing.
How this flopped in the semi while last year they had the WORST singer of the year with some anxiety problems yet they finished TOP5. Sennek was 1000000x times better than the previous girl I don't remember name of atm. (in case they were comparable cause that one can't be compared to nothing but our Margaret who claims it's hard to sing and dance at same time - girl, watch Eleni and cry in the corner)
