Vocal Coach Reacts to Hooverphonic 'The Wrong Place' Eurovision 2021 Belgium

[@rainboworbit]

Don’t even care where this places in Rotterdam. It’s a quality song. Love it.

Hooverphonic are fabulous. If this was on an album, would happily buy.

Hello from Belgium 😛❤🤲🏼

[@sebbo9334]

I love this song i think it’s really underrated 😁

[@sandrolucic2281]

I love this song so much. ❤️

[@dmr.95]

So underrated.. For me it has winning potential .. I hope so❤️

[@Bproky]

It s my 2 place i really love it

[@christoph8616]

The fact this song only got 3 votes from the public startled me. It makes me question why so many people didn't like it, or why I liked it so much.

‘Don’t wear my pasty shirt!’

[@andriottijunior]

First of all, it's important for people to know that Hooverphonic is making incredible music for more than 2 decades. Geike Arnaert became an official member of the band in 1997 for their 2nd album, when she was only 17. She left the band in 2008, after 6 successful albuns and several acclaimed tours to pursue solo career (equally successful btw). And last year they recorded a new version of Mad About You to celebrate her return and also the 20th anniversary of the song. The band has been choosen to represent Belgium because of their importance and not because they are new. All the singers before Geike and after her departure have their own relevance and contribution to the band. Alex Callier and Raymond Geerts are trully hitmakers, but she's definitely the soul of it all. She's amazing, the comments you made about her performance is pretty much what she trully is as an artist, singer, composer and performer. She's incredible. What you hear in this song is just a piece of their classic and distinct sound. Club Montepulciano, Mad About You, Eden, Vinegar And Salt, Out Of Sight, Jackie Cane, Sometimes, You Love Me To Death, Expedition Impossible, among others... Classics!

[@staleovenberg127]

I'm so happy they qualified to the final. I voted for them from Norway and will do so again this Saturday. Go Hooverphonic :-)

[@917299726]

Me to, from Portugal 🇵🇹

[@andreaskristo40]

I really hope she creates that amazing atmosphere on stage, too. It will be difficult though.

[@mrmr4622]

Its definitely possible, but the fact that Belgium have messed up their staging in the past has me worried

[@indiblocken5711]

I'm quite sure that this group will stage very well, at least looking at their concerts in the past.

[@jolienvlemincx8766]

Aaaaand she did!❤

[@jampotd.r.8599]

The fact that Hooverphonic always makes meaningful MUSIC (not crap shit) which always makes me enthusiastic is just mesmerizing🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@Phantas43]

The singer Geike Arnaerts is the original singer of Hooverphonic. She left after being with them after a couple of years (decades?) and they had several different singers. But none of them realy managed to get to Geike's level in terms of the atmosphere of Hooverphonic's music. You might recall her from hits like "Mad About You". You should check out their early music with Geike.

[@andreasg.9997]

Corection. She was their fourth singer

[@EmiIy7662]

I think Hooverphonic themselves wanted to keep Liesje, since she was "made" for the group, but it's true that Geike managed to deal with them the longest. I'm pretty sure that if they could choose, they would go back to Liesje though. She fit their early trip hop aesthetic the best (check 2 Wicky and Inhaler). I absolutely love Geike though for their darker songs.

[@andriottijunior]

@@EmiIy7662 I don't think that. Fans made of Liesje kind of a goddess myth because of the huge success 2Wicky was and what a classic tune it became. But being fair, Geike is by far the greatest performer they ever had. If you pay attention, both Noemie and Luka were choosen because their tone have a resemblance to Geike's voice that fits to the band's identity Geike build over the years. Geike was there for 11 yrs, she became the image and voice of the band, the same as Skye is to Morcheeba.

[@andriottijunior]

@@andreasg.9997 yes, not the "original" front singer, but the official one for 11 yrs and 6 albuns. That's a great story to tell among any other one.

[@jampotd.r.8599]

Every singer in the band had its own input and fame. But according to me, Geike and Luka are the best!

[@esclau2134]

Love this song, it's so qualitative. I don't think they're gonna win but it's much better than most of the songs this year

[@jamesedwardsesc231]

I love this song! It kind of reminds me on born to die era Lana del Rey

[@jampotd.r.8599]

Proud of my country!!! Hooverphonic stands for pure music🤩

[@fullstopdice]

The fact she is also 41 years old and still has an amazing voice is great

[@thenini2008]

Yess!! Preach it! I completely agree with everything you said about the industry and beauty! And I love this song too! Especially after hearing it a second time, I now have it on repeat

[@may51973]

What surprised me at most is seing Hooverphonic taking part in the European festival. I'm not a fan of the Festival but I know Hooverphonic for more than a decade

[@andriottijunior]

I love when former members of a band return or get back together after a hiatus to continue a journey, like Geike to Hooverphonic, Skye to Morcheeba, All Saints, Sugababes... That means so much about maturity and understanding. For us, listeners, also feels so nostalgic and familiar, like coming home.

[@rafahermidahermida184]

I absolutely agree with you Talent is not fake

[@hanne.lenaerts]

She's gorgeous and she has the voice of an angel. Love her!

[@stephanievantielen5615]

Thank you so much for this reaction. Finally someone who makes sense!

Hooverphonic is an established value in Belgium... I find this even one of their less great songs although still wonderful. Look them up and you will enjoy it a lot. I am fan. They have gone through quite some lead singers but they are always great.

Just love this song. Beautiful music, wonderful singing, mysterious atmosphere, I'm really impressed. Hope they do well tonight.

[@viktorjgf]

I could not agree more with you! Love your videos!

[@azi0urty918]

As a Belgian, I think my opinion can be interesting :) First of all, Hooverphonic is a Flemish band, but nevertheless known throughout Belgium. It is a rather old group, since it was created in 1995! But, It's one of the most famous groups in Belgique, by the way. That they represent Belgium at Eurovision was a huge surprise because we really did not expect that. It's a bit like Tones And I represent Australia at Eurovision Song Contest. Here in Belgium, it had the same impact. Regarding the composition of the group, it has changed a lot. In 2008, Geike joined the group. In 2018, Luka arrives and stays until Eurovision 2020. And for this year, Hooverphonic has decided to go "old-fashioned" with Geike. For this INCREDIBLE comeback, Hooverphonic did a remake of THE song that made them known, and it was with Geike: Mad About You. Luka was really cool, she did a really good job, and extremely famous songs, still today. But, I find that if I had to choose... Geike was the best choice for Eurovision. The song is, I think, excellent! The universe is very special ... but it is the Hooverphonic universe. When you listen to their songs, you are all the time "attracted" to them, to their voice, to their universe. Regarding the lyrics, they are special, I grant, but Hooverphonic had spoken about the fact that they had heard "Jonny Cash" on the radio ... and that's why they wanted to put it in their lyrics 😁 Admittedly, Belgium does not have a big track record at Eurovision, but ... there are a lot of stories that only true fans know, like with Hooverphonic. A huge thank you for reacting to this song, for paying a little attention to our little country of Belgium 😁 Thank you 😁

This song shouldn't be in the European Song Festival, It's too good.

[@janickpauwels3792]

It SHOULD be in the Song Festival. It is a statement, and shows that you don't have to send in trash. We need to refuse to give into that trend. When possible, vote for real music, regardless of the country. Fight this trend.

[@roh1912]

I loved this at the time. The word I'd use is authentic - there's no tricks, autotune or vocal gymnastics - just her effortless skill and experience producing this vocal performance. I believe the "don't you even wear my Johnny Cash T-shirt" was a wise crack from their producer that lead to this track. Their song the year before I also loved - a low key performance (different vocalist) with string section that sounded just like a Bond theme. I guess this is the end result of gurl power?! -- best JtF

my favorite random lyric of the year, referencing a JOhnny Cash T-shirt.. . WTF? LOL!! Also, it was *very specifically* an ORGANIC cup of tea (that has to be because of syllable count for the phrase! hahahaha)

[@NERDY_Rick]

This song is good. What I'm worried of, though, is the staging, a lot of great songs are forgotten in the past eurovision contests due to the lackluster staging. Plus I don't think eurovision voters are not keen into lyricism of songs, so although I love this so much, I'm not sure if this will even qualify... I hope I'm wrong though.

You didn't have to bring down women who chose to have plastic surgery, that's not how you judge music and artists.

[@andriottijunior]

I think u miss the point. She isn't exactly talking about "plastic surgery", but how industry pushes forward beauty patterns over talent and how they are demanding about it, mainly on female singers. Oh, and please, don't tell that "there are a lot of beautiful and talented women", you'll be missing the point again if u do that.
