I can't understand why Eurovision songs like this often don't get played on radio despite being quality music. I think Eurovision songs deserve to be played on radio more.
Sadly, many artists are forgotten.
they are tho lol ive heard this like 2 million times on the radio
In polish radio it was played many times during summer of 2017
When I was on vacation in Poland last year, I went to an Italian restaurant and they had a station on that played Zitti e Buoni. I think that shows how proud they were of the win, it made me quite happy.
I recently heard this song play in a shopping mall in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I was SO happy lol. But yes, it should definitely be done more often.
2020 and this song still gives me chills each time i listen to it ...
2021 and stillll

2017 Was one of the best Eurovision years
2022 and still
Same in 2022..
She placed 4th in Eurovision but she placed 1st in my heart
Lucas awe! You melted me! ❤️
Lucas This song will live beyond Eurovision. Stunning piece of music. ❤️
Totally agree with you! :)

Sorry, but she needs to be lgbt member and not normal, crazy appearance with crazy scenarios...
Six years later and this is still one of my favourites. I love Blanche's voice. I hope she's found the confidence she struggled with in the live show.
I CAN NOT STOP LISTENING!!!! I AM SO VOTING FOR BLANCHE AT THE FINAL!
SAME
live version awful .. they just killed the best song in the competition !! go figure Belgium ??
YAY FOR BLANCHE!!!!
hope I'm wrong ....
JuiceMyRandomness I just hope that she will pass to the final! Musically, the best song of the year, I Will vote for her from Italy :)
Listening to this song over and over. My fav song. Can't believe people didn't vote for this
I think is cuz her prestation* wasn't good but thanks😊😩 (from belgium)
bro she was 4th, many ppl voted for her
Because the only "things" that wins are female with beards 😂 im from austria btw
NicolasLindner thanks
Rara Rocks they did, the juries have ruined the result
It is summer 2022. It still is one of the best ESC songs XXI century ever. Thanks, Belgium. Thanks, Blanche. We still want more like this!
🥰🥰🥰
So happy to hear this. As a Belgian for me this is the best song we ever sent. I felt Europe wasn't ready.
WHY THIS IS NOT THE WINNING SONG??????
SOUNTEC Because people prefered a lullaby. By the way this is a big grower for me now 3-4 months later. I am not sure who would had my votes if the contest was now!
Linda Kristine Kjørlibråten yeah I don't like this that much anymore
The live performances weren't so good. It's a great studio recording with great production but it doesn't stand up live.
SOUNTEC i don't know but this song is the best of eurovision 2017
Because it didn't win
Almost every year Belgium is my favourite. Belgians, you are amazing! Greetings from Russia! :)
TYSM! greetings back from belgium :)
Same! Greetings from the UK! :)
Eugench Love you Russia!! Greetings from Belgium!! :)
this warms my heart!
Greetings from Belgium
Eugench i am belgium
This is one of the few songs this year that sound like it was actually recorded in 2017. Relevant and catchy, will definitely have an impact on the charts. Amazing!
yes recorded in 2017 in an elevator....totally insipid
@Tour Eiffel: NO and NO
wow... great comeback! and you call the song insipid hahaha
yes i hope belgium will be in top 5 but will not win...Italy n°1
and i'm here just for the comments not for the music...
2023 and still this song literally give me CHILLS
Same
Same
same
Yup, still mad she lost to Portugal.
same still in 2022
My country's best Eurovision entry ever. I hadn't heard it in a while and I'm almost crying from emotion, my goodness...
Belgium is my favorite Eurovision country tbh
YEAHHHH
thanks ;-)
Helena thanks ,and always welcome we love Belgium too
Thankyou so much ! You are always welcome here xx
They always send great preformers and nice music
I'm so in love with her chill vocals, she proves that you don't have to scream to make good music, the song is soo different from anything released this year, so original and fresh, I'm very proud of her even if I'm not from Belgium. Greetings from Romania, all love 💚
So true! When listen to music, I want to hear people singing, not screaming. Her voice is beautiful, she doesn't need any of it.
Thanks from Belgium
thank you, greetings from Belgium
Yes I agree that her vocals are hauntingly beautiful. This is the one I've watched more than any other.
sooo different..? wtf ... it's totall copy paste song.. 0% originality in this song... !
I'm 13 years old, I'm from Russia and I was recently in Belgium, I really liked Belgium and this song reminds me of belgium. I dream of visiting Belgium again.Greeteings from Russia!)
Thanks for your kind words! Hope you enjoyed your stay in Belgium when you were here!
Love you little guy from RUssia i'm from Belgium
Oh wow 13 years old and that's pretty good English...
Amazing!
Greetings from Canada!
Greetings from the United States!
@Μαύρο Πρόβατο about you
ALL ALONG IN THE DAAAAANGER ZOOOOOOONE. I still remember listening to this for the first time ever. I was completely stunned and in awe!
awe is such a cool word, just saying
12 points from Lithuania. I was watching the finals and my heart was pounding since there was only one spot left, and to my joy, I was jumping that this song got picked, and I'm SO GLAD!
so sorry that lithuania chose absolute trash this year!!
Kada ateisi pas Korėjiečius??? :DD
Eik persirasyk windowsus nebeklauses tos eurovizijos.
K1p3 kai turesiu anketa ir mokesiu windosus perrasyt
Jus žaiskit, nes reiks laukt kol aš gausiu kaškoki diska kad galėčiau perrašyt (nežinau kada), ar kol gausiu nauja kompa ( po2 mėnesiu).
my country Ireland gave this 12 points, right choice, great song :)
poppenlol n
poppenlol the Swedish voters gave it 12 points aswell - too bad the rest of the world couldn't see that xD
The more I hear it the more I love it, Sweden also made the right choice. BTW love ur profile pic, Parasite Eve is one of my all time favourite games
I love Ireland. I'm going to Ireland every summer. Love from Germany
poppenlol Portugal won the sympathy vote cuz the singer is disabled ..
This was by far the most beautiful song of the competition
I don’t think people realize the pure talent singing that low for a female. The control and stability throughout the song is amazing.
Vous avez raison❤️
Belgium! What's happening? First Loïc, then Laura Tesoro, now this? You guys really want to win, huh? I love it when a country known for less special songs really steps up their game. You're becoming one of the best countries in the competition. :-)
Cristian A. Sas ❤️
Well, the new voting system is less suspect to neighbour voting, and countries like Belgium & The Netherlands, which usually don't get a lot of free points, are benefiting of it. Since the reintroduction of the jury in '09, Belgium has had much better results. Before we were desperately trying to find the recipe for a great act and song, or just not making an effort because we felt we were discarded anyway, resulting in some weird or lackluster choices. The Belgian music scene is a thriving one, and unfortunately it didn't show during the Eurovision Song Contest.
@orbitalwarrior Hmm, that makes a lot of sense!
I like it too, so lovely song and good singer
Thank you for our singers! And I love our song this year like the one from 2015 because it's so representative of our music industry! Really proud of my country :) Thx to RTBF, they did a great job in 2015 and they do as well this year.
My favourite song from this year's Eurovision. Made me vote for the first time since I voted Lordi in 2006. Douze points from Poland!
PasserMontanus im from finland! lordi :)
PasserMontanus I'm from Finland!
PasserMontanus Piękna piosenka, niesamowity głos. Zakochaliśmy się w tej dziewczynie całą rodziną.
Lordi mainittu torilla tavataan !!!1!!1!1!!
PasserMontanus thanks for voting us back in 2006!
The strongest entry of this year
2018 sucked bro
The song. The clip. The girl. All so minimalistic but yet so beautiful.
Agree.. this is just stunning in every way.
This is a song that is simply too good for the eurovision.
Love it .
twelve points from israel
Tennis Avi-ram Thank you I'm really proud of my country
Contrast with winning yous deserve it🐔🐔🐔
Same from UK ... :D
Such a amazing song Belgium! Best entry since Tom Dice I think
Belgium is such a nice country with charming people.
Good luck from your friends in Germany
You forgot Loic ;D
Chris Feik nice? in my Street rhey are working at the ways ( i don't know if this is right to understand in english) but.. i was riding with my bike to my friends but i slipped out because a Stone was in my way.... i feld Badly on my knee and i was bleeding very hard ( it was broken) and i couldn't stand up. one of the workers laughed at me and the others where ignoring me... i called my aunt to ask for help and almost a quarter later a worker asked me if it hurts... i was like:-/
Tom Dice was also very good !!!
peter vandevyver dat kan in elk land gebeuren .
Chris Feik In 2010 it was already Germany that gave 12 points to Belgium, it feels good as a Belgian to see that even if we are fewer and geographically smaller than we are respected and many people are wary Of us (in football, Eurovision, tennis with David Goffin, ...). The biggest of all small ;-)
This song has something special, out of this world. The mixture between Blache shy attitude and that deep electronic vibes, it creates a special feeling.
Indeed it does, on stage that feeling grew even bigger ! She felt weak and powerful at the same time. My country's best entry ever in my opinion.
this is such a beautiful song, you have a stunning voice lady
I don't really care about ESC . But I like music....and this is music....
This is not good music.
Am I supposed to be interested in a troll's comment?
You're not good music.
Lol said so accurate! :D
This song is a breath of fresh air for Eurovision 2017 so far
Kazakhstan really needs to step it up, though ;)
Polan can into eurovision!!
Finlly some indie on ESC! Great.
I've been a fan of Eurovision since 1983 and I've heard all the songs since 1956. I'm trying to restrain myself from saying this and who knows, in time maybe I'll change my opinion, but for now I have to admit that this is my favourite Eurovision song OF ALL TIME! 2 months after the Eurovision final and I'm still listening to this almost every day. It has something very special.
thomani9 I've been listening a day before the song was supposed to be released
It's 2024 I wonder if you still love it so much ? I love seeing those reactions as I think this is my country's best entry ever.
@@ThaGamingMisfit I will always love this song and I agree it's probably Belgium's best entry ever, although there are some other songs from your country which i really like too...but perhaps not as much as this!
2022 and I still regularly listen to this. One of eurovision gems
Samee, it's incredible
Once again Belgium sends a masterpiece of contemporary sound to the Eurovision Song contest! Once again this song is too good to be true for the usual Eurovision standards but it definitely has to win the first place!! 12 points and love from Greece to Belgium for this incredible song!!
readymade pv thank you :3
readymade pv kommatara i agree
BelgianBuffalo It's better to predict a place when we've heard them all. At the moment:
Italy, Estonia, Romania, France, Belgium, Finland, United Kingdom, Belarus, Greece, The Netherlands, Croatia amogst other can prepare themselves to win if you take a look at the pages. And we will hear at least 6 new songs from now until Monday. So there could be more winners there!!!
...Id don`t matter if it wins....you are right: it is a masterpiece of contemporary Sound!!!!...This kind of music is too outstanding to win the ESC......but it could be an international Hit.....
Belgium's been totally killing it the past three years! Loïc Nottet, Laura Tesoro and now this?
gcf xnbv same with Latvia
Israel 2018
gcf xnbv laura tesoro was not that good
gcf xnbv yes thats right they are best
It is so good!😭😍
even today i like to hear this song, it is so good
Gets played non-stop in austrian radio!
Ja mein friend! Because this Lied ist so gut!
This song has me hypnotized, can't stop listening.
Jaime Michel Yes... It's like a drug... I hear it again and again and can't. stop...
Jaime Michel Yes, hahaha me to #TeamBelgium
Same here
I've hit play on this many times. I love it. It must have superb lighting and staging to win though, I'm sure it will...
Belgium has sent an amazing song for three years in a row now. You guys are really going for the win.
TheLemonCrisps you think?
Still one of the best eurovision entry !❤
And in my country you still hear City Lights on the radio every week! This was surely our most succesful entry in a long time
This is one of those rare songs where 3 mins is not enough (like Sound of Silence in 2016), so you have to loop it on repeat to satisfy your ears.
I really hope that ball of light makes a cameo in her live performances. Maybe dress up a drone and fly it all over the arena.
Jam Slam that would be awesome
Exactly my feeling. I heard the official release on Belgian radio and - indeed - it ended too soon. I immediately had the feeling like 'come on radio, play this again ... like now!'
Shut up
Jam Slam, I totally agree with you too!!
Is Belgium ready for a second victory?! GO, BELGIUM Eurovision 2017!!
Možda najbolja pjesma u zadnjih 10-tak godina na Euroviziji...
DEFINITIVNO
Still loving it in 2020. Who's with me?
Still love this song.
@@dirkpoelman3862 BARILOCHE ACONCAGUA USHUAIA ARGENTINA
2021 still love this masterpiece
still loving in 2021
The most authentic indie pop entry in the contest so far. I love the indie vibe as you're in the music festival jamming along with the song. Belgium is belting it once again! Thank you and congratulations! 12 points from Australia! #LoveLoveLove ❤❤❤
Christian R. don't forget Kedvesem and Birds
thnx i love Australia
I think you guys should report Belgium’s plagiarism accusations. This is the song they supposedly ripped off (okay, they literally copied it). ÉCLAT - Alexe Gaudreault (Vidéoclip officiel)
FUCKING stop ok
Not very authentic, it is a complete copy of this French song: ÉCLAT - Alexe Gaudreault
Best song from Belgium....ever! Greetings from Finland!
Thank you Belgium to make us listen this beautiful song.
One of the best ESC songs ever.❤
I LOVE THIS.....Such a strong entry 12 POINTS FROM UK
I make my choice and without any doubt, THIS is my personally FAVOURITE whatever the results may be.
Who watching in 2019?
I love Everything!!! Me!
Yes
I have no life Help me , I like it
Юля Ворона Same

2022 and still one of my favourite Eurovision entries ever
Say hello this year's winner Belgium!!
But its a fake band they covers from a 90s british band love so .....its not original am afaid !
in my opinion ,this song definetly deserve top 3, people have to critize performance and song, its powerful for me.
Felix Felicis what do you mean?
Felix Felicis her performance sucked wont be a top 3
i mean comparing her with sth or sb or some trends is just wrong for me.
Never heard of her. Her voice's texture is velvet, love it.
She is here thank connections.
well she's 17 and this is her first song, lol
Nadine Carrier oh for real! Amazing
Hater!!!
Ellie delvaux is her real name. Candidate of the voice Belgium
This. Was. PERFECTION!
Best Song ever :)
Amazing its different and it stands out!! Good luck Belgium 🇧🇪😀❤️ from cyprus 🇨🇾
First I was not 100% sure but by now I am obsessed with this song. Love the song, love the singer. Blanche you are a goddess!
one of the best Eurovision singles
One of the best songs in all the Eurovision contests. A soft tender voice, full of feeling. Simple lyrics, but powerful. And the music, although kind of monotone, is very dreamy and sad.
Loic, Laura, now this. Belgium is a taste!
OMG!! I am portuguese,but I can't stop lisnen this music!! Is fantastic! and this girl is amazing!! congratulations belgium!!😊😊☺
Congratulations! It was totally OK to lose from your amazing song :)
Omg...Great song
Realmente é fantástica!
muito fixe tanto instrumental como a voz.
tb nao consigo parar de ouvir...parabens para o salvador sobral mas essa musica na minha opiniao foi a melhor do festival...
Beautiful dark song.
This is honestly one of the best songs I've ever heard at Eurovision. It definitely deserved to win this year. I hope she releases an album soon as she's got a great and very unique voice and I'd love to hear more of her music, it strangely reminds me of the band The National!
Laat België winnen!
Please let belgium win!
Greetings from the Netherlands
Victør Smit _ Ja hè, vanavond lekker kijken hoe succsesvol het loopt😁
***** ja precies! 😂
Victør Smit _ ik wist niet eerst wist ik niet dat dit van Eurovisiesongfestival was maar het is zo mooi grtjs van Nederland ik stem op haar
I'm from Portugal and this is my favourite song in the Eurovision this year. I just love her voice so much. If Salvador doesn't win, I really hope Belgium wins.
Diana Moreira Eu concordo!!!
Diana Moreira mesmo adoro só espero que ela na final não esteje tão nervosa
I' m also portuguese and I must say that this is my favourite song next to the portuguese. Such a strong Voice. I really love it!!!!!
Loves from Belgium! #BELGIUMFORNUMBERONE
I share the opinion. After Salvador's this is my favourite song. Love her voice.
I still listen to this who else?

I can't stop listening...
Incredible, literally chilling eurovision song.... Every time i see the video and hear it, I'm chilling. And for some personal reason, yes, it directly reminds me of my baby son, sun of my life...🎈♥
It is the only song I want to play it over and over again...
true
John Smith electronic style like Depeche Mode. it is a good background for usual activities nothing more
You're still my number one, Blanche!
Still loving this in 2022 ❤
Belgium always comes with quite unique songs for eurovision i love it
Belgium just spanked the Eurovision Song Contest, this is class. 12 points from the UK
This is why I love Belgium so much. They're making the best choices. Even here, for Eurovision. The best song so far. Good luck from Poland.
That's so kind! We hope so that we are going to win. We hope that we are going to be in the top 10.
Sofie Terryn I hope so too!
we love poland too
10 million streams tomorrow, June 20th 2017. What a stunning performance!
One of those songs I'll never forget - this was my favourite one.
My mom said it's her favorite. (she heard lots of entries) So 12 points from my mom and greetings from Russia! :D
BTW I really like it too! So cool!
Wow that is cool ahaha all your family liked the same artist which means your taste in music is the same :)
безумно классная и атмосферная песня
My second cousin twice removed does not like this song, but the rest of my family do so who cares, LOL. Greetings from UK
your mom hase a great teast !!!! big thanks from Belgium
this song is beyond eurovision, it's so much more!!! her voice is amazing! 12 points from greece with love ❤❤
Evgenia Tsipra her VOICE is amazing? Have you listened to her live performances? 🤣
This song is truly amazing and it deserved to win the former ESC. I listen to it almost every day ever since. Belgium is such a gifted country and I do really appreciate your local bands like Oscar and the Wolf and Lost Frequencies. Love from Spain.
This is an absolute tune that I will continue to listen too until I last!
true winner. what a song. there hasn't been such a good quality song on eurovision for years. can't wait for the first rehearsals and final performance itself.
belgium is constantly incredible. they need to win already!! this song is crazy good, please let it win
🇧🇪 Belgium is one of my favorite countries in Eurovision and I really like this song. 👍
I voted from 🇩🇪 Germany.
I'm utterly obsessed with this song
I'm also form Portugal, and this song is really something special. Since the first time I heard it, I got hooked. Definitely the Portuguese song is out of the box and an incredible melody, but this would also be a legitimate winner. Congrats Blanche and Belgium for such a great song.
Agree with your every word.
Miguel Campos im sorry but for me Portugal was crappy this year... Sorry but this really deserved to win!
Belgium was so good in last years. Especially in 2015. But this one is much better than the others. Congratulations Belgium. Best song in ESC 2017
Azerbaycan 2019 da iyiydi dihaj da iyiydi 2017 de 2021 kesinlikle italyanin hakkıydı
This song is taking over the charts in Poland. I didn't like it before the show, but now I think this is absolutely amazing.
SHE IS AMAZING!!!! Great voice
I'm in love with this song really...
I can't, 12 Points from me /PL I'm addicted to this song 😂😂
Very good this year from Belgium...A song that grows the more you listen to it....12 points from USA
2023 - still loving it!!! the voice... chilling...
This song is real masterpiece.. should have won btw :/
this is really the best one this year
I'm addicted to this song! I will vote as often as I'm allowed!
12 points from Germany!
