Belpop Bonanza Song Festival Special (try out), The Eurovision of Jan Delvaux and DJ Bobby Ew

This performance is for everyone from 16 years old. Theaterspecial Het Eurovisiesongfestival is the World Cup of pop music. With fuss, tension, noise, and appetizers. 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 until recently unthinkable. 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 back at it in 2027. Ideal, therefore. And we are of course going to win again! There has of course 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 especially come up with the results of significant original research. The two give answers to pressing questions such as: - was ABBA actually ever in 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?
