As last year's Eurovision Song Contest was won by Italy, the 2022 one will take place in Torino. It's being presented by Laura Pausini and Mika (and one other, unknown guy).
The contest consists of two half finals, on Tuesday and Thursday, and the grand final on Saturday evening. It's always a circus and even if most of the songs are nothing much, it's a spectacle worth seeing.
This year, the bookmakers think that Ukraine will win. To tell the truth, their song is not that bad, and of course they may count on a lot of sympathy because of the war with Russia (which, by the way, is excluded from taking part in the contest).
Five countries automatically take part in the contest (because they are the money providers): France, the UK, Germany, Italy and Spain. All the other countries (including Israel and Australia) have to pass the semi finals. Two groups of 18 contenders, of which only 10 per semi final pass. Belgium took part in the second semi final and secured a spot in the grand final.
We are being represented by Jérémie Makiese, a young guy who is perfectly bilingual and who won The Voice Belgique last year. He's a cute guy and has a warm voice and he knows how to play the camera's. Thumbs up for Belgium!!!
