It's a shame that Belgium didn't qualify as it really grew on me and had a great performance :D

We just missed the final :eek:! I didn't expect that!! Well done!!

I'm the first saying Spain is crap this year but wow Belgium was so awful, RTBF always screws it. Let only VRT to enter for all our sakes!

I have to take my word back!! Even though Spain didn't get a good result, I have to admit that I really liked the song this evening. Sorry for saying it was crap, because it isn't!

If we had two more points, we would be in the final!

The problem is, it just wasn't a good song. It doesn't matter how good performers they are then.

Wow, surprising,11th!

Thank you though I still think our song was very bad but Lucia is a great performer.

I'm really sorry for what I said about the Belgian song and I have to be more polite next time. Sorry.

Actually if I wasn't prejudiced against such entries, I would've liked the song.
They delivered a great vocal performance! Just the guy spitting on the mic was hilarious.

Actually, 1 would have been enough to put us through (we got points from more countries)! :eek: I'll have to change my mind then that acapella songs might actually work at eurovision. In a million years I never would have expected us to come this close to qualification, and then just losing out to Moldova, probably my least favourite entry this year. Maybe it was still a bit of a Tom Dice effect doing its magic, that it's ok to like and vote for the Belgian entry! :lol: Probably means that RTBF will repeat this selection procedure for 2013 though. :?

Anyway, thank you Bosnia & Herzegovina, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova, France, The Netherlands, Latvia, Israel, Italy, Slovenia, Cyprus, Austria and Estonia to vote for us in semi 2!
xthank

Well, even me who liked the song didn't expect to see them with just 2 points away from the final. From this perspective I think they totally deserved it. They were great in the semi, and even though it is clear that it's not for everyone's ears it was so enjoyable to watch them having fun on stage. I'd say they transmitted the energy and the vibe very well. Too bad that originality wasn't valued......but better luck next year :)

I don't know about you guys, but I love accapella songs. And this is no exception. Unfortunately I think I'm one of the few that share that point of view...

I loved the entry, it's one of the few ESC 2011 songs I actually bought, but it was clear to me from the start that it wouldn't make the final. Losing out to Moldova by one point sure is unfortunate, but I liked their entry just as well.
