Belgium's come to the Eurovision Song Contest with a dazzling new young star, who's firmly behind the creative concept of both his song and act.
Now Loic's song is clearly one of the most current tracks of the year, and he's certainly living up to the expectations of nailing the song vocally.
But right now as it stands, it feels like the focus for the Belgian performance is mainly focussing on the backing singers, who are delivering a strong vocal but also take part in an interpretative dance routine.
It's a little bit of an odd situation, because the act should be around Loic. I think this could easily be helped by moving Loic, a couple of steps closer towards the group. A good thing however is how captivating Loic really is. His glance, facial expression and eyes just look straight through the viewers.
Overall the performance is an absolute extravaganza of white beam lights, which is going together with the mainly white backdrop, which gets broken up by black parts. and if Loic was mentioning this is a first for Eurovision, then he might be onto something.
Perhaps we're not yet seeing things on the stage yet, but as it stands Belgium sounds better than it looks on the stage, and that could be a bit of a problem, coming next week. Let's see how the rest of the week progresses.
Six Points!
