Hooverphonic to compete in Eurovision Song Contest

Yesterday evening, during a daily talkshow on VRT (the public broadcaster of Flanders) it was announced that the band Hooverphonic is going to be their candidate to take part in the next Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam (May 2020).


Frontman Alex Calier of Hooverphonic said that they'd been asked three times before already, but never wanted to say 'yes' because they didn't have the right song. But now they feel they do and they are going to give their all.

It's a bit of a risk, to send an internationally known band to such a contest - but it could be worthwile! Belgium only won the Song Contest once, with Sandra Kim in 1986.

Normally the songs of Hooverphonic are quite good and I like them. This genre of music is generally not my style, but what they bring I can appreciate. I hope they'll do well, and hopefully go for the first place.
