Belgium BELGIUM 2014 - Axel Hirsoux - Mother

[Sammy]

at least he will be remembered for being the first male artist to use a wind machine. Which was quite ridiculous imo. But it went logically with the concept of the song: make it as cheesy as you can possibliy make it.....
plus: he was quite weak vocally tonight (compared to the capacities he already showed.) must have been the nervorsity....

 

[Avalon]

Very disappointed..

This should have qualified as well because Axel was really moving and it was really magnifiscent. It's really bad that his dream stops now. I hope we gave many points to our neighbourg. Bruno almost insisted on us to vote for

 

[Luki]

This was the worst performance of the night, sorry.

 

[VedatiNet]

Good song not for Eurovision

 

[Mlyn]

I saw that coming, very underwhelming performance...

 

[Quent91]

Good song not for Eurovision

So Eurovision deserves only bad songs ?

Its not a type of songs that we usually listen at Eurovision. In Eurovision we have huge great songs

 

[Hegepege]

Painfull to hear, painfull to watch. Axel was out of key countless times, and that creepy dancing lady was still there. Worst song tonight by far. Hoping for something better next year.

I thought Axel shouted the choruses of his song....

Hoping for something better next year.

I can already see it : the RTBF choosing the winner of The Voice, doing a random selection on a sunday morning and... still ending on a better place than the VRT.

 

[Fluke]

Hope he comes back next year with an uptempo dance number.

 

[Quent91]

Bart De Wever jut got 5 more points in the polls

 

[rayoflight55]

There we are :

 

[Mrm]

Yeah he made some mistakes, but so what! I'm sad he didn't make it!!

 

[AdelAdel]

One of the best songs tonight, definitely better than Armenia or Ukraine.

 

[gustav]

Really, this never had a chance. A castrated obese middle-aged guy singing (very poorly) about his mother? ESC is not a retirment's home saturday night amateur karaoke party after all...

 

[ParadiseES]

So unfair. It was such an emotional performance. Completely outstanding. The only terrible thing was the backdrop, terrible.... If there's one country robbed tonight that'S Belgium

You didn't like the backdrop? I thought it was very pretty but I guess I can see why it was harmful to the performance. It did look really old fashioned and a design you would probably only see in your grandma's house....the knitting in the postcard (I thought was really cute ) probably added to that impression too

Poor Axel but a few countries had to stay out and he was just unlucky
