Belgium BELGIUM 2019 - Eliot - Wake Up

[Zorjan]

It was an embarrassing performance ! A rather poor show, and a far weaker vocal performance than I thought possible
I think the song itself is quite alright, so it's a shame really :s
Anyway, I think it deserved not qualifying

 

[Ana Raquel]

i hope he is being comforted, he was so nervous...

 

[Ezio]

Don't blame a young man for his nerves. Blame the broadcaster for not choosing better or not supporting him better for this moment. Belgium now for three consecutive years sent shy and scared looking acts to Eurovision. This is not a winning formular and they should reconsider.

That's a very good point

In retrospect, what a professional Laura was, asking what the pressure was?

 

[Brandt]

My first impression of this song was boring and forgettable. But it has begun growing on me in the past 2 weeks. Watching the performance tonight made me understand the spirit of the song. It has been a bit late but I actually like this song now. I wish Belgium had made it to the final.

Blanche was saved back in 2017 where I thought her bad vocals would make her a NQ but it ended up passing in the song even more, but this year, you could see it coming, he struggled very hard with some notes and looked scared.

RBTF will make justice for this next year

 

[Sammy]

What a disappointing performance... I'm sad to say it but I felt the non qualification throughout his whole song tonight.

 

[SiXo]

So sad for our dear Eliot. He was soooo scared you coud see it from the very first moment.

You mean the year after, in 2021.

It's now time for VRT to correct RTBF mess. We need What's The Pressure[/I 2.0]!

 

[Preuss]

Belgium was in such a good streak and now 2nd NQ in a row
I loved Sennek and really wanted Eliot to qualify
It's a pity!

 

[Ezio]

Despite his nervousness, the song was a tough sell from the getgo. The chorus was really weak. And the staging looked really pointless.

 

[crashworld]

This is self-sabotaging in its truest form. I just can't. I pity Eliot to be honest. He got a great song, one of the most contemporary songs out there. The staging has sealed its fate.

 

[mauve]

The song itself was okay for me, but the performance was bad unfortunately. His voice too shaky, his outfit terrible (who styled him?) and the staging wasn't good either.

I thought it was VRT this year

 

[lavieenrose]

Ngl I enjoyed this far more as a doomed car crash than as a competent studio version.

 

[Brandt]

I will be sad if Eliot wins the Barbara Dex this year.

 

[toinou03]

Likely the last...

 

[A-lister]

Still one of the best songs in this year's edition for me, but that whole performance was just bad... the staging, the costumes, the drumming, the vocals... I am not surprised it failed the way it was presented but as far as song goes it will remain one of the few from this year's edition I will continue listen to after the contest and since it's a song contest afterall, it much more deserved to qualify than some other actual cr*p that made it...

 

[Citelis]

It won't be surprise if he came last on televoting.

 

[nofuxCZ]

Eliot looked so terrified. I felt sorry for him. Although I find the chorus of this song quite weak, I think right staging could have elevated it into something more. Didn't happen here, the staging was completely out of place and killed any chances it might have had. Possible last place in the semi imo.

 

[Lazy Baba]

I feel sorry for Eliot but yeah, it wasn't a convincing performance. I didn't like the way they staged this song. Vocally not on point : (
