Good on Spain for awarding this 12 points!

[@jaimeiglesiasmartin3256]

Wonderful song, one of the most underated in ESC. Fortunately Spain ( my country ) gave her 12 points and left 7 countries behind

[@klarinetta]

So good song that Sweden had to do a version 2 of it in 2001

[@aufaidasehn]

Until now the only cover version ever to actually reach the Eurovision final

[@klarinetta]

@@aufaidasehn Nope Friend in London 2011 reached the final and they had a cover version of Andreas Johnson's song Sing a song from Melodifestivalen 2006

[@DonkeykongSw2]

And Japan did a version 3 2 years later Sweden.

[@orvaldurrunarsson3452]

The original hook comes from a Icelandic 80s pop song called “Draumaprinsinn”

[@klarinetta]

@@orvaldurrunarsson3452 hmmm maybe I need to revisit that song I'm not connecting.

[@minnieme9713]

The best Belgian entry ever for me.

[@alejandrodanielmoreno9995]

Best song!!!! 12 points from Spain.❤❤❤

[@abdurrahmankurt6790]

very very underrated song love from TURKEY

[@kennet7837]

Very ABBA-esque melody. The songwriters of this entry accused Sweden's 2001 entry "Listen to Your Heartbeat" of plagiarism. I can hear why, they use basically the same chorus melody.

[@gilloureiro3685]

An agreement was later made at court. It's terms never came to public

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

2:42 Listen to your heatbeat...

[@gilloureiro3685]

@Mathias Eggimann Thanks

[@orvaldurrunarsson3452]

Interesting I would think that 1000 songs would step forward, here’s a famous (in Iceland) 80s pop song which has the same hook kzbin.infoUgkx4IM4IO2h2sdign_EeMlLdxbP6nJecX0h

[@Straffan22]

Sweden 🇸🇪 2001 sounds very very like this song!!!

[@stevejames88]

The songwriters settled on a cash agreement before it got to court

[@VATJON]

Agreed

[@Tommyspurs34]

Brilliant song very well sang this love it after all these years underrated

[@dariodelpesomartinez7069]

It' s incredibly similar to "Listen to your kaartspel" ,the Swedish entry of 2001

[@herrprofessor]

[@fresisuisse9904]

I LOVE ❣️🤩 from Spain

[@jameslevens2121]

I gave this song 10 points when I listened to the 1996 contest on the radio. It is still a fantastic song and a song that I enjoy listening to even now. Oh, and I remember Belgium awarding 12 points to the United Kingdom. So I have this to say: A) Dank u wel, Belgie; B) Vielen dank, Belgien; C) Merci beaucoup, Belgique; D) Da iawn a Diolch yn fawr, Gwlad Belg; E) Dankas vin; Belgio; and F) THANK YOU, BELGIUM!

[@JeSuisRene]

@TheDRMISTERY I think the United Kingdom gave their 12 to Cyprus, and 5 to Belgium. My personal 12 goes to Norway. I personally think Belgium was underrated, my 8th place of 1996.

[@thearchivist8143]

Thank you, I'm Flemish and British :)

[@barnbersonol]

To di camsillafu Gwlad Belg

[@JuvatVivere]

This was the hot favourite to win ESC 1996!!

[@christophevalere7945]

Je ne comprends pas : cette chanson n'a pas fini dans le top 10 alors qu'en 2001, la Suède plagie cette chanson et termine à la cinquième place.

[@o-b-1]

It's the Dutch my friend

[@o-b-1]

Of course this one is much better

[@thomasyogayoiii3759]

Respect.

[@plerpplerp5599]

Toff, zeg. Mooie tijden

[@Botafogoplayground]

Een fijne inzending.

[@MegaPellepop]

Great song! And it is not in English! :-)

[@grambi]

Well performed, but she should have gone to ESC in 1993 with "Vlinder". Far superior song!

[@bluemenbluehn]

You're right, even though I love Barbaras song :-)

[@annakobuk3618]

Nice song. Her outfit though...

[@a._wesker]

The Intro is quite similar to Hole in Your Soul by ABBA

[@georgedc80]

Een jaar waar Nederland en België in de punten weer niet zo lief voor elkaar waren. Nederland: Belgium 2 points. België: Netherlands 1 point

[@r.v.b.4153]

Spijtig dat Nederland een Nederlandstalig lied (en het laatste van België nog wel) nauwelijks punten wou geven

[@markojemojcovek]

This should be an interval act for Eurovision 2025 if 🇮🇱 won instead of 🇨🇭 and 🇧🇪 becomes a host just like they did in 2023 with 🇬🇧 & 🇺🇦

[@user-qm6cf5rt8g]

Sweden 2001???

[@abrahansaezsanchez9191]

Un poco "plasta"...pero festivalera¡

[@TheNathanj2009]

Horrific. How on earth could a professional music jury (Spain) give this 12?

[@Mikelamakesvids]

It's catchy.

[@TheNathanj2009]

@@Mikelamakesvids so is COVID

[@Mikelamakesvids]

@@TheNathanj2009 I like it. A very good Belgium entry imo.
