Belgium: the results of the third quarter final

The third quarter final of Eurosong 2008, the Belgian selection for the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest, was held tonight. Five songs were presented and the top two were chosen by televoting to go directly to the semi finals.

The results

To the semi finals:

  • Nelson - If I can't find love
  • Geena Lisa - Wheel of time

Possible second chance wildcard:

  • Ellis-T - My music
  • Tabitha Cycon - Rumour has it

Eliminated:

  • Di Bono - I'm not sorry

The third and fourth placed songs are in the running to get one of the jury wild cards. The fifth plced song is out of the competition for good.

Last year the Walloon broadcaster submitted the entry LovePower which was performed by the KMG's and finished 26th in the semi final getting 14 points - 12 of them from debuting country Georgia. The last time an entry by the Flemish broadcaster reached the top 10 was back in 1977! In 2008, Belgium will take part in the first semi final of the Eurovision Song Contest on 20th May.

I'm hoping for Geena Lisa or Katy Satyn, the rest until now is trashy. Including Ishtar.

Good result, Nelson's song was the best in Eurosong for years and I quite liked Wheel of Time. Please, Belgium, go for quality this year, as I would love to hear Nelson in the finals in Belgrade. :)

I didn't like Nelson's song much, but Geena Lisa was good. As for Ishtar, I guess they're okay, but I still hope Katy Satyn will win the whole selection! :)

To be honest, I really don't know what people see in Ishtar's song...? It's strange, and not in a good way (and I often like "strange" songs, like Azerbaidjan's ;))... Nothing very memorable, definitely not a winner..! Even "Wheel of Time" is much better.

Di Bobo was great. Such a shame... "If I Can't Find Love" was pretty good as well.
