Belgium BELGIUM 2023 - Gustaph - Because of You

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[EscGeek]

Of course Kelly's version is great but i'll take this opportunity to shere this masterpiece with you

 

[Ajeje Brazorf]

There´s only one "Because of You" for me:

One of the best ballads in the world for me.

And I agree so much...

 

[MopManMoss]

The semi 2 draw is good news for Gustaph and therefore the world

 

[Bmbriga]

Oh, dear. So this happened.
Belgium, what happened?!! How?
The guy seems loveable, so I'm just going to leave it at that.

One of few songs on repeat in my playlist right now and only one from selected to ESC23. He sounds good, staging doesn't ruin a song and a song got a beautiful and catchy melody. Yeah, it's pretty simple and sometimes boring song but overall a good package which I don't see missing a final from 2nd semi. points and gl .

Gustaph’s favourite entry is 1998 so at least he has taste

I don't understand the hate for this song. I just listened to this for the first time and it's a cute bop and kinda catchy. I expected something much worse after reading the comments. I think the crowd is going to love this one. It's fun.

I gave it points.

 

[JChan]

the backing singers are absolute slays and Gustaph is the wholesome gay we all deserve after dealing with Michael Ben David all season last year

A from me!!

 

[MopManMoss]

Gustaph is so qualifiying I cannot wait for the fallout

 

[midnightsun]

Europe‘s living a celebration… oops. Wrong song.

 

[MopManMoss]

I know Tom Dice wanted to come back pretty badly but this is a bit extreme

[Remembrance]

Yeah, this is alright. I like the beat, and Gustaph seems like a charismatic performer.

Good luck, Belgium.

 

[MopManMoss]

With every announced Semi 2 song he becomes more powerful

 

[Zeus]

But really, looking at the songs so far in SF2, Gustaph for now is a sure Q in my book.

 

[crashworld]

What on Earth did I just listen? A gey pride anthem from the late 90s/early 2000s? What has gotten to Belgium, giving us shite 2 years in a row.

 

[CaraMia]

If I had to make a wild guess for this year, it's that Belgium will end up in the top 10 in the final. There's something so effortless and oblivious (in a good way) about this song. It's just a man with a good voice (and good backing vocals who match him) bringing to life a very well put together dance bop that could be the anthem of some pride event in 2000, but we're actually in 2023 (this is why I say "oblivious"). It gives me some serious "Deen vibes" (Bosnia & Herzegovina 2004) in terms of how the audience can react to this.

This is aging like wine

Gustaph winning semi 2 with 238 televotes

 

[Sabrewulf238]

Belgium are absolutely qualifying aren't they?

That's not something I would have even considered a few weeks ago.

 

[MopManMoss]

I'll carry on despite of the songs that were picked and won
They'll never kill this fire
Your votes will take me higher
It's all because of you
Because of you
Well, because of you
Because of you I keep on going, baby, baby, for a brighter day, yeah
