Belpop Bonanza Song Festival Special

De Eurovisie van Jan Delvaux and DJ Bobby Ewing. Het Eurovisiesongfestival is the World Cup of pop music. With fuss, tension, noise, and snacks. And with 10 million supporting Belgians who all know it much better. Het Eurovisiesongfestival is also a matter of national interest. Because our participation is paid for with our tax money. So politics also dares to interfere. With parliamentary questions and all. Het Eurovisiesongfestival is hotter than ever. Simultaneously cult and ultra-popular. As a finalist, you can today even stand on Rock Werchter of Pukkelpop. That was unthinkable until recently. Time for an ode to the phenomenon. Belpop Bonanza presents a special about the Belgians and the Eurovision Song Contest. The VRT is, by the way, up again in 2027. Ideal, therefore. And we are naturally going to win again! There has naturally already been much told about the festival. There even exist thick books about the Belgian entries alone. But then you might not know Jan Delvaux and Jimmy Dewit yet. They naturally sink their teeth into 70 finals, 40 semi-finals, countless preliminary rounds, and our participations in the Junior Eurovisiesongfestival. But they mainly come up with the results of significant own research. The two give answers to pressing questions like: - has ABBA actually ever been to Waterloo? - which Belgian entry received the MIA for Hit of the Year in 2017?- who is Jennifer Jennings?- who has never given our country points?- why does Gustaph always wear a hat?- what is the connection between Pink Floyd and Ann Christy?- why was Ben Crabbé not allowed to go to the final in 1983?- what is the last Dutch-language song that participated?- who were the soldiers of Liliane Saint-Pierre?- which group wanted to finish last in 1980?- who is in love with Sandra Kim? Press “The apostles of Belpop.” - De Morgen “Instructive, funny, and relativizing.” - De Standaard “One story is even more improbable than the other, but: true.” - Het Nieuwsblad “This is really put together strongly.” - Stijn Meuris “The perfect combo of amusing and interesting.” - A spectator in Zottegem
