Iemand als jij - Belgium 1993 - Eurovision songs with live orchestra

[@prodigy1979]

I speak German but this song breaks my heart even in Flamish. I understand 99% without speaking Dutch at all. Beautiful song, beautiful lady. L.lae

[@TomVDelo]

❤ from Flandern

[@sebastiaanm9122]

The most underrated song in Eurovision history. This was a wonderful song. Will always looooove this song so much.

[@Freekoismus]

Absolutely. I loved this song most. And I still listen to it till now. It ended last. Unfair. All corrupted!

[@stefanos25422]

Another underrated ballad and so beautifully sung in Flemish

[@J05-f5u]

stefanos25422 it was in dutch

[@Onbehaard]

@@J05-f5u Zekre in het vlaams.

[@TopNederlands1]

The language is dutch, flemish is not a language

[@FannomacritaireSuomi]

Dutch and Flemish don't even differ.

[@nikomaartfald4260]

Don't listen to these ignorant morons, folks. Flemish IS certainly a language and spoken by millions of Flemish Belgians with several dialects. General Flemish, like in this song, has a way more beautiful soft pleasant sound then the more agressive sound of Dutch.

[@apdiz]

This is one of my favourite entries ever, and I think it so cruel the "Barbara Dex Award" was created, as I think she looked lovely

[@martinkooistra7867]

That award would have been more appropriately named after the guitar player.

[@kasperhaake1438]

A totally useless and negative award

[@surprisedadrianlol]

@@martinkooistra7867 Yeah, or Marion Welter lol.

[@davidwilding1993]

She’s a very beautiful woman and I think she looked perfect!

[@paulderichard2552]

Beautiful song, beautiful voice, beautiful girl - why did it not get many more votes? I bought the single and love it. One of my favourite Eurovision songs.

[@remcovanderlinden640]

België had dat jaar zoveel hoger moeten eindigen. Prachtig nummer

[@escjescausteya7829]

To be honest I don't think her dress is that bad. Of course, not a thing to be praised for that much, but definitely not so bad. And the song is beautiful 💙

[@surprisedadrianlol]

And also, this is a song contest and not a fashion contest, so placing her last because of her dress is really not fair because she really sang beautiful.

[@davidkasquare]

It’s funny, when watching in 2024, her style seems modern and trendy …

[@marjonvanamerongen6052]

Sluit je ogen en luister gewoon, dan valt alle kritiek weg... Zó mooi gedaan. Close your eyes and just listen... So beautiful 💕💕💕

[@davidwilding1993]

This song gets me every time. One of the most beautiful ballads ever in Eurovision.

[@amandadavies..]

I loved this song. So underrated.

[@walterz6954]

So, so much underrated.

[@AS-pp1rd]

Another one of those great Eurovision songs that did not get the recognition it deserved - this was one of the best songs ever, love the melancholic tune, bravo to Barbara and the composers !

[@mrtorstai5336]

A strong voice, a nice ballad. Not a winner maybe , but should have been in the top 10 at least!

[@martinkooistra7867]

Straightforward powerballad, beautifully arranged and Barbara's vocal performance is flawless. Probably the most underrated (and definitely undervalued) Eurovision entry in its history. Barbara won't mind too much though, she went on too become one of the most popular Belgian singers of her generation. By the way, am I the frist to notice a striking resemblance to Adèle?

[@JeSuisRene]

Yes - it has a sense of Someone Like You (and not just the title).

[@swanskogjsson151]

A beautiful song. This, together with Denmark, deserved so much better back in 1993.

[@davidwilding1993]

Swanskog Jsson I totally agree. I was shocked that two of the best songs in the contest finished so low. This song by Barbara is in my all time top 10 Eurovision songs.

This shouldn’t have been last even though her dress isn’t great. This is a magical song and it deserves justice.

[@AS-pp1rd]

Superb song, the best song of Eurovision 1993 in my opinion !

[@LA90598]

I have to say the RTE concert orchestra is incredible in this contest.

Not my winner, but my most times watched and listened to, by far. I noticed something really special in this soft and sweet song since the first time I payed attention to it. The orchestral harmony is excellent, exquisite.

[@ParumPirum]

Because of that appaling haircut probably....

I like this song more than the winner of 1993(Ireland)

Far from the worst song of 1993, it's actually quite tender and beautiful. Israel, on the other hand, with "Shiru", now that was bad.

Ha ha Shiru was a perfect disaster. And we thought we were going to win with it.

What a lovely ballad this is and beautifully sung.It is sadly often an unwritten rule of Eurovision that really good songs often get very low placings while mediocrity rises to the judges

Don't know actually. I love her dress even though it and her haircut was old-fashioned. I mean there was worse dressed participants, like that from Slovenia.

Thuis performance was rated based on the looks, white the quality of the 'sound' was flawless. Looks only go skin deep.

Justice for Barbara Dex!!

[@pieter7319]

Prachtig gezongen, maar helaas een schoolvoorbeeld van de door de BRT geliefde braaf-Vlaamse, seutige treurballade - het soort liedje dat nooit heeft gescoord op het ESF. En dan te weten dat we dat jaar Lisa Del Bo en Vlinder hebben thuis gelaten!
