Take a moment to realise she was only 17 years old when she did this amazing performance!
Really??
@@eckert7875 Yes! Amazing right?
OMG SHE LOOKS 24
Loïc Was 19 i think
She be looking like 34
There's something really cool about the speed of the music in contrast with the slower tempo of the melody she sings. Still one of my favourite songs from Eurovision.
I agree:)
I agree also
Agree.
it's not cool, it's a nice instrumental with a monotone robot voice
The best ever by far!!
You just see she was terrified but she did it. Proud to be Belgian.
You have nothing to be proud of small shitty unknown country in europe and only some chocolate to brag about.
@@albin4323 Lets see where youre from and if youre proud about it.
@@albin4323 Dude its thanks to Belgium that the EU
exists. And Belgium is a well known country in the world. You dont know Belgium cause ur dumb.
@@tibertdg3855 And that's something to be proud of? Creating the EU hasn't made europe that much better actually it's the opposite.
🇧🇪 ❤ from 🇨🇵
She looked completely terrified but she got through it and did it, 4th is amazing, i keep coming back to this song, its a masterpiece
SAME i just found it and im getting goosebumps
En même temps elle avait 17 ans la petite là tu m'étonnes qu'elle était terrifié.
This song is perfectly for her voice😭😭
She didn’t move a single step but that was a damn good song.
Like Barbara pravi
Italy on the other hand
(2021)
@@tortoisemedia5497 true but Pravi showed that Parisian, that French passion and animation too - I adored Blanche and it was my early favourite to win until falling for Portugal but she managed to do the same with her shy Belgian manner. LOVED BLANCHE
How she acts is SOOOOO Belgian. SUPER shy, super polite, super distant hahahahha it’s so funny.
@@wouterfaes2309 acts=behaves... ofc she’s not acting learn English
This is not a song
This is a piece of ART
This aint art this is the whole EXHIBIT
In 2015 something happened to Belgium. They started sending only masterpieces!
I agree with you :) Something happened in 2015, since then we decided to send some "not classic" Eurovision songs and I think it pays off !
LOIC did an amazing job. Still sad that he didn't win, he deserved it so much. I guess Europe wasn't ready for such a modern song ...
kln 123 I guess not 😉 But the important thing is that Eurovision boosted his career ! Have you listened to his first album "Selfocracy" ? It's a masterpiece !
Tom Dice was the beginning and Loic Nottet was the start of everything!
Somethin bout' Jeed,Pezz,Minda and Lee Totally agree ! I loved Tom Dice too 😊
She improved her vocals and feels more confident on the stage! Love you, Blanche!!! Definitely deserved 4th place)
I totally agree. The song is great and she has the truth in her voice
Eurovision Fan She deserved top 3 :(
nssjd kttk truly said yes, instead of Moldova... But you know, such high position for Moldova is like a victory!
Eurovision Fan I think that this years Eurovision was the most unexpected one, unfortunately in a bad way. I didn't expect that high place for Belgium but the final performance was 1000 times better than in semi final and she deserved top 3. Portugal's song was nice but it is not a winner material, maybe in top 20. I didn't even expect final for Moldova, I can't believe what happened XD
Eurovision Fan It's just your opinion !
It’s funny that here in Austria this song was played up and down in the radio but the actual winning song never got so famous lmao
This is a very radio friendly song.
In Belgium it was every min on the radio
could you please tell me since when austrian radios use to play portuguese music? :)
Ohne Spass
The winner isn’t a radio song, that doesn’t mean it’s not a worthy winner.
This one still gives me goosebumps...
+1
I hadn't heard it in a while and I started crying like 5 seconds in for some reason. Our proudest entry ever !
This song is really hypnotic!
Agreed with you, I can't stop listening to this song and thinking of the picture of Blanche on stage.
Indeed and the cool motion graphic going on behind her.
Belgium is also winning the 1st rank of "The Best Lighting ESC2017" for the video graphic lighting show, produced by the RTBF (Belgian french speaking radio and television) video studio.
Belgian night in Kyiv !!
Counting mirrikels
arctichare2 Yeah but for her was needed brighter make up
255 Points from Televote ^^
City Lights charting everywhere.
Europe showing its amazing taste
Troll.
This was the first song I voted 20 times.
ESC Remisas Your picture features Emmelie De Forest. Do you like Only Teardrops?
yes, this is my favorite esc song ever. If Poland participated in 2013, I would vote 20 times.
Incredible song
it was my second time voting 20 times...first was Sanna Nielsen Undo(perfection)
I didn't notice it while watching it but recently I rediscovered it and I'm obsessed
2024 and still love that song .❤ 🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬

hello
Whoever has been in charge of choosing Belgium's songs for the last three years, deserves a raise! So good!
This is probably my favourite ESC song since Euphoria.
Toallín This is my favourite ESC song ever!
For mi it's on par with Euphoria. I think I'm obssesed with it, can't stop listening to it!
Toallín -Lumostark- me too..
Eres tú
Different 1 nope. Bc somehow everysingle person hates sweden so we don’t get good televotes anymore instead good from jury
The best Eurovision song in many many years
Loïc nottet, Laura tesoro and then this masterpiece... Why Belgium doesn't win!!!!!?
Blanca Cardona Ruiz they've always been in my top 4 since 2015!
Eurovision Obsessed They're always good
Blanca Cardona Ruiz because we are belgium
peter vandevyver belgium can win bro... We are strengh
Because in my opinion...Belgium is the worst country in ESC...
2017-> Horrible
2016-> A Little bit good
"Thank you..., everyone... of Europe... merci, merci"
I love her
Her voice is so special. It is not like most of the singers. The song just comes along and suits PERFECTLY with her voice and make one fascinating, terrific experience for everyone to hear. It is really a masterpiece.
I'm Portuguese, and Portugal won this 2017 Eurovision... but this music always has a special place in my heart.
Bravo Belgium, Bravo Blanche!!!
🇧🇪🤜🏻🤛🏻🇵🇹
She fooled us all.
Admit it,many of us after first rehearsal thought,that she will flop?
And I'm very happy about that fact that she did well.
She proved that she will have an amazing musical future.
Good luck Blanche!
Keep it up,Belgium!
My winner on the night. Blanche gave an amazing performance and looked like a real pop star. I voted for her many times from Ireland
Ron 2017 Well, she got a douze from you guys. Congrats!
it’s 2023 and this is one of a few songs I hum on now and again whilst doing laundry or cleaning the house. It really printed itself on me. A shame she didn’t win in my opinion.
Still one of the most touching Eurovision performances, in my opinion
Have a feeling this will be the biggest ESC hit this year..
....me too...
jajceboy of all the ESC 2017 Songs Portugal is the most dowbloaded on itunes
An on Spotify Belgium is the biggest hit. And more people is using Spotify so..
manuelAc8888 not true. The sales of belgium overall are the highest. Just not at this moment.
Calvin X if the sales weren't the highest at that Moment then that would still mean that I was correct when I wrote this
You were amazing! Congratulations Belgium!!
greetings from Portugal
br3menPT Thank you Portugal, this is the first time you win the contest and of all if the winner were to be other than Belgium is you I would have chosen, you deserved, Belgium already won once in 1986 , I did not know that and at least one day a year in my life I would like to see my country win the Eurovision. Profit well my Portuguese friends, what you just live, see your country win the Eurovision this Is not given to everybody. I do not know what the future holds for us but imagines that Belgium will win in Lisbon in 2018 ;-). The happiness of the Portuguese tonight makes one can my happiness also, be proud of your country like me I am proud of mine. After the Euro 2016 and the Eurovison 2017 it will be what ?? Good evening Portugal.
We did love Belgium's song while we were watching it. But I think people expect 17 / 18 y olds to be all put together and self-assured. I felt sorry for Blanche, Isaiah and Kristian were also very young, but she seemed scared before such being audience and who can blame her? But the song was amazing and is one of the few which will stick with me.
br3menPT Thank you! Greetings back from Belgium! :)
Thank you so much. Indeed my first eurovision memory is precisely the belgian victory in 1986 :) I don´t have words to describe what i felt last night. I thought i will die without see Portugal doing well at eurovision. We finally won! We received so many "douze points" that was impressive! An unforgettable moment!! In the last years we were suffocated in crisis, bailouts, taxes, debts, austerity and in less than 1 year we resolved 2 traumas! The Euro Cup and the Eurovision Song Contest!We are very proud for sure, but now its time for another european country do well.
Thanks a lot for your 12 points from the belgian televote and 8 points from the belgian juries. And don´t worry because Belgium level in last Eurovisions is so high (you were my favourite in 2017 and 2016) that probably your 2nd victory is just around the corner..who knows!? You are very welcome here next year :) Best wishes
br3menPT i'm Portugueses and i love this song. kiss from Portugal😘😘
SuRie who is representing UK this year is one of the backing vocalists here!
Jack Walker really? Oh wow "the storm in your eyes the storms in your bright eyes"
Also she was Loic Monet's backvocalist
@@anrikarhanyan4856 Yes and she was 'visible' there :)
Really? I'm from the UK and surie only got 48 POINTS it was such a good song ( Blanches and Suries)
One of the best songs in the past 20 years. Blanche should have win.
better than in semi final
Revan Guluzadeh exactly. I was pleasantly suprised.
not really, so bad this song could be a mqsterpiece if she wasn t so frigthened. I know she is only 16 but Bulgarian too and he smiled all along the song and he sang well. For that I will choose him and not Blanche
Ced Ric Australian guy is also 17 and he was perfect
Please for her!!She needs you
Hipotenuza Australia was terrible in my opinion. how did u like him
Proud of my country!!!!!
I vote from poland ;)
same
Awww thank you! Poland's performance was great as well :D
Belgium ftw
Meduurtje She's thinking what if I lose, what if I sing wrong.. etc while singing. Why didn't you tell her it is not problem if she lose
Best song in Eurovision 2017 song contest.
Always coming back to this song around the time of Eurovision.
Polish juries gave 10 points for this song, Polish televote gave 12 points for her - finally i was proud to be Polish and felt like "yay finally mine 20 sms were count"! Love this song! Greetz from Poland!
Thank you !! (a little bit late 🤣🤣)
much better than the semis. top10 hopefully
Top 5!
Ha ha You're right. I admit I wasn't so confident before the voting, I was expressing a desire. I'm so glad Belgium did so well, she is so great
My favorite Eurovision song of all times. Seriously. Everything about it is just on point. Listen to it at night when you drive alone in your car. You will feel it.
One of my favorite also. Definitelly the song that I sing and listen the most
One of the best songs from Eurovision.
Very pleased with 4th place, same as Loïc Nottet, wonderful performance well done Blanche!
So PROUD being Belgian. TOTALLY Slaying !!
Mered #PecheMelba113 Best song Ever / Sweden
Looool
Whats youre part in this song?
Why youre proud?
KUTBELG
Belgium has shown tons of better songs than this one.. Im sorry but City Lights is VEEEEERY boring.
PieterDeKoning And what's wrong with Belgium?
Shrek Mate they think they are better than Dutch people
I just can't understand how she didn't win?! This was by far the BEST song. I still listen to it. Her voice is so unique 😍
Unfortunately, she became nervous and her voice began to tremble. Before Eurovision, bookmakers put her among the favorites. But live performance and recording are not the same thing.
I actually love the staging!
Don't understand why people don"t like this... everything in this song is a masterpiece
Well she came 4th so many people did like it. ANd usually the best song doesn't win in Eurovision, at least for me it hasn't happened in 29 years :D
Best song this year by far! The only one I keep on hearing over and over again. 4th place is amazing, but Belgium deserved to be Nr. 1.
indeed ,after a few years the same feeling....
She was Brilliant and proved all the haters wrong. Go Blanche!
ESC Olli I have never hated the song, it just wasn't mine at the time, but it has grown during the autumn. It's not bad!
I'm glad it has grown since! I just watched the video back, and it still gives me goosebumps now. BTW, I'm currently working on my updated Average Placings video, so stay tuned for that!
Congratulations Belgium! 12pts from Portugal 🇵🇹❤️🇧🇪
One of my favourite songs of Eurovision ever! Wonderful melody and unique voice!
She deserved to win! Very high above the others
Different 1 Come down already ...
Belgium isn’t Germany, you guys can still very much win ... there are just other very Good songs too
*The only female solo artist in the top 10* ❤❤ All alone in the danger zone! 😂
Laland Power sche was THE female winner of THE year
Alma should be in the top 10😢
With the old system, she's 9th with 84pts
@@NiagaraEurovision and og3ne should've been 10th with the old system
The ending! Iconic
This has absolutely no staging whatsoever and it's still winner material. How the freak didn't she win?
How the hell does this have no staging ? If she had no staging she would be standing there in the dark lmao
No staging? They played with beams, lightning, LED effects, final blue light on her. There was staging and was good
nil erra amen
Because no one ever votes for Belgium
Eleanor Helen Sarah Darcks In 2015 and 2017 Belgium did really good in the televote so you’re wrong about that
Sweden gave Belgium 12 from the televote!
Jonte R Sweden knows bops!
Jonte R It was jury vote.
Neuron Canavarı no Portugal got 12 from Jury
Thank you Sweden❤❤❤🇧🇪🇸🇪
Alinevision it is a good song.
I was so proud of Blanche on her Grand Final entry. This must be the biggest improving performance story in this year's ESC. She was so nervous during rehearsals and also little bit during semifinal. But on Grand Final she did her best performance and she was less nervous than before. Blanche was my TOP-1. She has an unique voice and perhaps she has got more self-confidence on performing at stage. Thank you Blanche for amazing Grand Final performance from Finland!
Do you belong to the Blanche's team at the Eurovision Song Contest ?
What do you mean by that?
heke1988 Her best was still meh overall.
I'm so sorry for your country!! Deserved to come Top 10 in the Final.
One of Belgium's best entries...bravo Blanche
Belgium is a revelation of the last years in Eurovision
Absolutely best song this year. The feelings I get when I hear this song is magnificent Belgium 🇧🇪you are my winner in my heart 💖
From the lovely country of Sweden 🇸🇪
Fan är det med alla svenskar att gilla denna låten, ni gillar den säkert bara för att hon är attraktiv och vit
Vilket roligt sätt du ser på oss och dig själv ...men nej inte för alla...
Lite sent ute men så sjukt konstig och dum kommentar Albin. De som gillar denna låt ( inklusive mig själv ) gör det till 99% för att den berör, hon sjunger riktigt bra och låten i sig är helt enkelt grym! Och gällande attraktiv så fanns det i sådana fall andra deltagare som var mer attraktiva och på tal om hudfärg så kan jag berätta att en av mina absoluta favoriter 2018 var Österrike som representerades av Cesar som var mörkhyad så vilken hudfärg och hur attraktiv artisten är spelar absolut ingen roll för mig och jag vet att många håller med mig gällande det.
Jazzer
your country has much good singers too! the difference is that you win when you deserve to, Belgium doesn’t... Euphoria, Heroes,... were magnificent songs! Belgium could win sooooo many times... it’s really disappointing. If i were Belgian, i would be disgusted!
This song will outlive the others !!
She’s done more in 3 minutes than in my 22-year long earthly existence
One of my favourite Eurovision songs of all time 💝
She should had won.
That song was my favourite from Eurovision 2017! Such a simple beautiful girl, amazing voice and the melody itself was just beyond words! Greetings from Slovenia!
I never voted for any song in eurovision but i voted today for her. Her voice is amazing and how she delievers the song is incredible ❤
Oh My God, how can a singer and her song still be perfect and a masterpiece even she is so terrified and nervous. She did that. What a song.👏🇹🇷❤️🇧🇪
Real winner of the year
Alper Kesli best song this year
Alper Kesli just like in 2015...
@@maelysdebruyne7344yes, no relationship
THE BEST OF ALL!
DESERVED TO WIN!
This is the most NON-Eurovision song from the 2017 contest. And I'm saying it as a HUGE compliment. Great song and great restrained performance. Love it
She was nervous but she slayed that stage like a true Belgian queen. 👑🇧🇪
Blanche is THE female winner of THE year!
Kool
Belgium is outstanding this year. Best song of the Eurovision-2017. 12 points from Belarus.
She is the real winner of The Eurovision 2017
from Russia with love
the real winner of Eurovision 2017
The real winner in 2017!
She was sooo much better than in semi finals😌 you could tell how much more relaxed She was...the song is beautiful and im sooo happy She ranked so high ❤️ voted for belgium From Croatia 🇧🇪🇭🇷🇧🇪🇭🇷
My 10 year old sister saw Eurovision for the first time and during every single performance she was bored and talking about how rubbish the songs were. On Belgium she was silent throughout, captivated by the music and said it was her favourite song.
Daniel B mine too
you should let her watch Portugal song
Daniel B and what she think about greek entry
Niko_G-2004 Sorry if you're Greek but it was a cheesy pop song
Lem BRUH. But this year at least Greece will not send more pops songs. I hope that next year Greece enter to top 15 at least
She’s so pure, her voice, the song everything’s just so pure so is stage...
in 2015 my winner was belgium and he ended being in the 4th place. the same happened in 2017
I don’t think they would win just because of they are from Sweden. Måns wrote a very wonderful song and was worth to win but in 2017 I was surprised that Belgium didn’t won 🇸🇪 ❤️ 🇧🇪
@@sadie2000 Mans's song is very radio-cheesy compared to many others competing that year. I mean, Grande Amore, Goodbye to Yesterday, and RHYTM INSIDE? Come on. The Swedish entries for 2017 and 2018 were basic and not special yet they still managed pretty high.
that means: when belgium is 4th in your top, means that it's going to win🤣🤣
i know it is not funny but plz don't roast me 😔
Tell me that Belgium is this year again your favorite! I need Eliot to do well, I am so scared that he won't qualify.
2016: My winner ended in 4th place
2017: My winner ended in 4th place
2018: My winner ended in 4th place
Well done, Blanche! Belgium is proud of you!
Well... she deserved to win. Thank you jury for voting on a neighborhood principle
This song is GOLDEN! One of the best songs ever in Eurovision.
This is my favourite entry Belgium has ever sent to Eurovision Song Contest.
So proud of her
What an incredible performance. Fragility into strength. Thank you Blanche, you are our true winner. I am so happy this song is in my life now.
2022 still loving it!! Big shout-out from Serbia!!!

It is a little bit outdated. Just a few years though. I personally like it.

Now this, this is the real winner
Probably best song in eurovision history
No
still my favorite eurovision song of all time
Belgians must be really proud of her!
Amazing
Yes, we are very proud
I' m so happy with our victory!
But I must say this song deserved to be second, not 4th.
This is great!
Can't stop listening to it...
Greetings from Portugal, Belgium!
In my opinion she would have deserved the win more than Portugal..sorry.
@@JS-ir4sh Clear winner
Considering Belgium's persistent high quality entries in the contest I'm looking forward to the show which's going to take place there pretty soon. Belgium so deserves to snatch that trophy. 😄😘 Best wishes from Germany.
Thank you Germany, neighbours and good friends...
This song. Her voice. So beautiful it hurts.
Belgium Netherlands Hungary Ukraine and France are my favourites. But Blanche and her song is what i want in ESC. She's herself on stage not like almost singers and it's so beautiful. Netherlands have very emotional proposition too but Belgium is just perfect 😍😍😍
Zgadzam się w zupełności! Mam te same typy. No może zamieniłabym Ukrainę na Portugalię ;)
Eliza A. Tkacz Portugalia u mnie jest w top 7 więc w sumie nie duża zmiana 😂
