De Eurovisie van Jan Delvaux en DJ Bobby Ewing

The Eurovision Song Contest is the World Cup of pop music. Complete with fuss, tension, rumors, and snacks. [cite: 10] And with 10 million supporting Belgians who all know much better… [cite: 11]

The Eurovision Song Contest is also a matter of state importance. Because our participation is paid for with our tax money. [cite: 12] So politicians dare to interfere as well. Parliamentary questions and all. [cite: 13]

The Eurovision Song Contest is hotter than ever. Simultaneously cult and ultra-popular. [cite: 14] As a finalist, you can even perform at Rock Werchter or Pukkelpop these days. [cite: 15] Until recently, that was unthinkable. [cite: 16]

Time for an ode to the phenomenon. Belpop Bonanza presents a special about the Belgians and the Eurovision Song Contest. [cite: 17] By the way, VRT is at the helm again in 2027. So it's ideal. And of course, we are going to win again! [cite: 18]

A lot has already been said about the festival, of course. There are even thick books just about the Belgian entries. [cite: 19] But then you might not know Jan Delvaux and Jimmy Dewit yet. [cite: 20]

Naturally, they sink their teeth into 70 finals, 40 semi-finals, countless pre-selections, and our entries in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. [cite: 21] But above all, they come up with the results of significant research of their own. [cite: 22]

The two provide answers to pressing questions such as:

has ABBA actually ever been to Waterloo? [cite: 24]
which Belgian entry won the MIA for Hit of the Year in 2017? [cite: 25]
who is Jennifer Jennings? [cite: 26]
who has never given our country any points? [cite: 27]
why does Gustaph always wear a hat? [cite: 28]
what is the link between Pink Floyd and Ann Christy? [cite: 29]
why wasn't Ben Crabbé allowed to go to the final in 1983? [cite: 30]
what is the last Dutch-language song that participated? [cite: 31]
who were the soldiers of Liliane Saint-Pierre? [cite: 32]
which group wanted to finish last in 1980? [cite: 33]
who is in love with Sandra Kim? [cite: 34]
