Grattis 🇸🇪 Sweden!!!

Belgium’s lucky number 7’s now have three countries to pick from for their next vacation(s). Or go conquer stages of the nations who granted us 12 points.

Doing a marvellous job on the iconic one in Liverpool. Sacred ground for ever found. Congratz Gustaph & Cie, you did great! The song Because of You will go full circle.

Seems we are headed to even holier Eurovision ground next year.

Thanks to Loreen and her lyrical Tattoo 🎵. Leaving Finland runner up. Cha cha cha cha cha cha…🎵catchy though Käärija!🇫🇮

The lady with the toughest nails and shortest aria’s manages to break through ceilings allright. The “staged” and a glass one, being the first woman to win the Eurovision Song Contest twice. In 2012, she felt « Euphoria » for the first time in Baku, Azerbedjan.

2024 celebrates the 50th anniversary of ABBA’s winning “Waterloo”, which is in…Belgium 🇧🇪

Let’s try again and go full circle. Maybe with “a mighty masked singer”👸🏼who won ESC for us 37 years ago. Since her 1986-triumph, an adorable teenager with a pink bow and a life-loving Eurosong has transformed into a « Queen »

How about it Sandra, dear? Loreen, Johnny and…you ?🎀

Tonight around midnight lies the moment of truth. Will our Gustaph conquer that so wanted Eurovision Trophy?

37 years after Sandra Kim and her « J’aime La Vie », a EURO-Song equally vibrant deserves to win.

ArtistCongratz could name numerous reasons why your 12 points should go to Belgium but the most important ones are the message of this ultimate Eurovision song 🎵 and the amazing track record of the performing songwriter and producer Stef Caers aka Gustaph. Hardly eleven years old he had already written 30 songs.

In 2000, I got the chance to interview this multi talent for the very first time for Sabam-magazine. And already there seemed to be something about him that “oracled” us to this day. 23 years later he just might help Belgium to that second victory in Eurovision history.

But first things first, since we are not allowed to vote for our own country here’s ArtistCongratz yearly attempt to predict🔮 which country takes that beautiful crystal trophy home.

Here’s AC’s top 5️⃣

1. Belgium 🇧🇪 (sorry, not sorry;)

1) Belgium 🇧🇪

2) Finland 🇫🇮 & Australia 🇦🇺 in ex aequo

3) Sweden 🇸🇪 & Israel 🇮🇱 ex aequo

4) Poland 🇵🇱

But World, by all means do save all your 12 points for number 1️⃣6️⃣🇧🇪!!!

Yep, it’s that time of the year again. Love it or leave it but by all means live it if you like !

Europe, Australia, even parts of Asia and the Middle East manage to unite in music every year around mid May. 2023 has all eyes and ears 🔛Liverpool ▶️🎵

So go for it contestants 🎵

BUT… ArtistCongratz has one special request⤵️

EUROPE, do save tonight’s votes for a very special candidate 🇧🇪.

Here are 7 undeniable reasons why you should vote Belgium into the finals TONIGHT⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

1. BECAUSE OF the irresistible, inspirational, beyond professional ARTIST Gustaph aka Stef Caers, who worked his way from back to front slowly but surely, so well deserved 🎤🎼💪✍️

2. BECAUSE OF Gustaphs undeniable taste in fashion🕺💃. #waltervanbeirendonck

3. BECAUSE OF the spot-on-lyrics of the sing-a-long to become evergreen, written by Gustaph himself and multi-talented artist Jaouad Alloul

4. BECAUSE OF the undeniable starquality of ECS’s most quirky “back-to-front-vocals” Monique Harcum, Chantal Kashala, Sandrine Van Handenhoven and Gustaph of course

5. BECAUSE Belgium deserves MORE Eurosong kings and queens along Sandra Kim, who won 37(!) years ago

6. BECAUSE of the great story behind the scenes, telling all of us that it’s never too late for break through!

7. BECAUSE OF (all of) YOU!!!

From ArtistCongratz to Gustaph & his entire dreamteam: go go go and get qualified for this Saturday’s finals !
Your blog host, Gustaph style xxx
