He’s a vocal coach himself. He sang in the background for Belgium twice for Eurovision 😉
Just letting you know 🇧🇪
In which year 😮?

2018 and 2021
@@bagdii like Jen and Taxos pointed out - for Sennek 2018 and Hooverphonic 2021. Both times he didnt make it onto the stage but he was in the backvocals... and he was Vocalcoach aswell in 2021.
@@bagdii Yup, for Sennek and for Hooverphonic
Gustav has such a lovely energy. His song is definitely a guilty pleasure.
It's been stuck in my head all week 🫶🏻 I am a proud Belgian🇧🇪🖤💛❤️ happy feeling, catchy, good vocals and lovely personality. Thank you for your positive comment.
Definitely a bop! Party time @ Liverpool 🎉🎉🎉
Lyrics may not be the strongest .. however , the song is a bop , he sings this 10/10 .. and the back up women gives it the extra sparkle .. this can go so far !! .. He sells this song so good
Yeah I agree with you, but if he won’t make Lyrics better then probably he won’t came far.
But song is definetely best ever !
Lol. Its definately not gonna qualify
@@MikkelJankovic I want him to qualify so bad
@@MikkelJankovic LMAO
Kvitova4ever Well, this comment aged well...
The 80s are back! Top 10 material 🎊 🎊 🎉
I love this song.....no matter what anyone says
Nice to see a vocal coach reacting to another vocal coach - which is Gustav’s ‘day job’.
Re. the lyrics: you have to take into account that simple, straightforward lyrics are more likely to be understood by a wider audience with English as their second, third or even fourth language.
Gustaph has confirmed that the staging is still a work in progress and the act itself is something he’d like to improve and further finetune in the coming months. So fingers crossed he will indeed get to move around a bit and interact with the audience… if that happens, Liverpool may be in for a fun party.
Because Of You is a positive battle song about accepting yourself and being who you are. The 'you' represents your self-chosen family, which supports and strengthens you in life. That can be your family, but also your best friend or your partner. In short: all the people who have made you who you are in life.
LOVE THE SONG!!!❤️🎶
Strong voice!!! Go Belgium!!!🇧🇪
It's Vintage in a good way. I love it. I was hoping for a good dancy song for my country, and finally here it Comes. I'm happy ❤️🇧🇪
This song has really grown on me.
The vocals are really strong, and the whole song is just so fun and charming, with strong 90s nostalgia for me.
The lyrics I can see easily be song along to at a club, especially gay clubs. I feel like this has potential to become a song that lives on for a long while in especially queer clubs.
Even though it’s not a genre I normally listen to, the song keeps popping up in my head, makes me in a good mood and make me wanna dance and sing
GO BELGIUM🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I think it's a good pick for Eurovision personally. The song is very positive, upbeat, fun, and has relatable lyrics that are very easy to sing along with! People are going to remember the fun time they had with Because Of You, and give points 🥰 It's not a winner, sure, but 100% belongs on that stage.
I was watching the finals last night, and this was my favorite.
The nod to 90's dance music and Junior Vasquez remixes is just awesome. :)
I love this song!! It’s so much fun and really captures the spirit of Eurovision!!
BOY GEORGE IS BACK ! 12 Points from Germany to Belgium .............(Hab ein Ohrwurm !!!)
❤ this Song ... Brings back that happy retro House Vibe with great vocals and that hook is fantastic. Its a Feel Good Song we all need at this time of such doom amd gloom.
My other Favorites, are Spain, France, and Norway
I am so happy you like it! There has been a lot going on during and after the national selection final. We had some very good, (typical) Eurovision competitive songs but Belgium chose this catchy BOP instead. A lot of people were confused and mad because this was a total surprise for Eurovision fans. Give this man some love and appreciation because he had/still has to deal with a lot of hate on social media...I'd dare to say he can surprise internationally as well at the big Eurovision stage, the same way for instance Moldova did by just having a huge party in the arena.
Well, honestly, I like Chérine (more), this is probably a nq. It needs a serious revamp to get as good as her and make a change.
I'm also from Belgium and I totally agree! It was not THE best, but he's great and the song s a bop
@@JamesBond-lp9wr Get over it!
That's awful! He's my favourite for now. 🥲
I would be surprised if it even qualifies .
Cherine was the best, but hosting the event costs alot of money and Belgium doesn't want to risk it.
They are already 5 billion in debt 😮
I've been following Belgium with interest for some time now, it always manages to surprise on the positive side, to remember Blanche - City Lights in 2017, and now... I'm no expert, nor am I looking for a special meaning for the lyrics, let's face it, we would have to be all polyglots, listen to the rhythm, and this one, has everything to work out, I've heard most of the countries and this is without a doubt my favorite one. Congratulations Gustav! It could be from this Belgium! a kiss from portugal
This is one of my favorite songs of the year!
Simple song but with a story and meaning. Makes me feel great! That beat too.
Have been blaring this song in my car. Will never get old ❤
I don't mind lyrics, they're simple and a bit cheesy, but all in all the song is fabulous and vocals both Gustaph's and backing singers' are fantastic. Probably not a winner, but I do hope it'll go to the final. Apparently this year only we, the viewers, are choosing whose coming out of the semi-finals, so fingers crossed.
Love this song!!!!! ❤🎉
I love this! ❤A catchy bop that is both positive and uplifting. Plus Gustav has a really great voice. ❤ The voting showed this was loved by both the jury and the public. Good luck Belgium!
You know Georgina, most people in Europe aren't English native speakers and simple lyrics works better for us. The advantage of this song is that after one listen it sticks in your head the entire day. Lyrics don't always have to be complicated.
😂 i have no understand this Song Massage but this Song is great 💃💃 my englisch is very bad. I become jimmy sommerville vibes 🕺 🕺 greets from germany
You say 👍 simple is better 🤣
Maybe he is singing about Toilettes 🚽 🤷♀️🤷♀️ i dont no, but the melodie is great and the vibes 😂 the World is crazy i understand 😂
This is my fave song this year sofar. Grate choice Belgium. Love from Germany
It was the best song proposal from Belgium. He sang as well with Hercules and the Love Affair. Very kind and funny guy with a good flow and positive vibes :)
Nice Video. For me it would qualify. I really like this song, it's catchy and the live backing vocals are just great.
I love the song, I felt it was an instant bop and wanted to make me get up and move about! It’s definitely the best out of the three out so far! I don’t think it’ll win but I really hope it gets to the final because we need some feel-good songs! It gives off Boy George and a mixture of 80/90s for me which is the music I love and I hope the rest of Europe loves it too!
I'm glad you like it. Gustaph was also a backup singer. And Chantal and Monique are one of the best we have in Belgium (the world)
Sandrine is verry good singer to. You can find het songs on CZcams
i m lovin it !!
Why is this so hated. It's fun, it's catchy, good vocals. What more do you want omg
Due to LGBT+ exposion. I do not like it myself at all. Song, voice, performance really good, and joyful. Without all this LGBT shit, it could be marvelous. Pity.
it's not hated wym
@@Noobihakssu in belgium its very hated
@@liamvandervurst835Is it??
It’s just a very basic “I’m great no matter what” song. There’s nothing SPECIAL. Still good tho
I like this lol it’s a bop edit his vocals abit and there is deffo potential love his stage presence ❤
LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about this
Best entry so far
Loving your ESC reactions as always. This is my fav song of the 3 that have been released so far. Can't wait for you to check out Ireland (my country) 🇮🇪❤️
Ireland is really strong this year. You have a huge chance to win if you don’t pick Hawaii. Just don’t okay 😂❤
Georgina- What a classic jumping groovy comment you brought here to this Ecs Belgian entry. you are so right about everything . I guess you can easily join the backing vocals of this one . 12 points to yet another precise inteligent reaction of yours .Keep on rocking Girl!!!, Regards from Tel Aviv, Israel
Gustaph is also a vocal coach! Love this bop and it gives me RuPaul's Drag Race vibes! I , too, hope he keeps his back-up singers ( live of course) in Liverpool.
I love the song and think it'll bring a load of energy in May. I also hope Gustaph moves a bit more in the final performance to get that party vibe going.
Hey!
I've absolutely loved all your commentaries on the ESC23 songs I've watched so far, and I was so happy to see that you enjoyed Belgium, because it's not a favourite lol. But I love it!!
It case you were wondering, this is a late 80s/early 90s ballroom scene style song and the dancers are voguing.
I hope it qualifies!!!!
I don't why i am just not vibing with it...... The artist sure is really talented and carries amazing charisma....... Love your work maam ❤️❤️
Love your videos! I learn so much more about the technical side of singing through them!
I‘m very glad to hear that! x
Sometimes lyrics do ruin a song tbh but the worlds neeeeeds this light fun POSITIVE BOP
I think, the lyrics are the thing that people want to remember as an after thought.They are not important, the Feeel is important. The lyrics just remind you because they are som-how/what stuck in your head.
Loved to see your reaction not knowing the other national final contestants!! really feel like people don't take the time to judge his song seperately and immediately rate it bad because they had others faves in the Belgian Eurosong. Think this is a fun song that def has its place in the final, not really a big contender tho in my opinion, but doesn't deserve the hate its getting
Yay. Eurovision reactions are back. 🎉😊
I think this song has potential, because it's definitely a lot better than some of their previous entries, but it's a bit basic. Looking forward to seeing it in the competition though :)
This song ia Amazing, so energising, the beat is amazing 🤩
Loved when you started singing Kelly's Because of You hahaha
So good to see you again ❤
My favorite song yesterday ❤
This is soooo good! Love it.
I really do like Belgium 🇧🇪 my country this year and it really give me wanting to dance and singing with him! I didn’t know him before, but he’s just amazing! And in the final he changed his outfit too and he moved also more! Just love this song 🎶 and I’m happy that he ended in the Top 10! Really deserved! 🙏🏻🍀👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤩🎶🇧🇪✌🏻💥🔥💥
In my top 5
he is a vocal coach like you
A huge fan of Lisa Stansfield here ❤, loving your comment and reference to her
This is qualifying and reaching top 15 right under everyone's nose
❤❤❤❤
Gustaph is not a bad choice at all, he actually had the best vocals in the national final in my opinion.
But they really should have picked Gala Dragot which was the standout of the night and had a chance to do wonders in the contest.
I'm glad you like it, I've seen a lot of people hating on it bc their favourite didn't win the national final(get over it, it's not the end of the world), but this performance was amazing watching it live. I don't think he will place very high (I would love it if he did) but it's definitly going to be a party at eurovision when he preforms.
btw, I hated this song first, but now I can't get enough of it. I hope people will learn to like it as well. My fav was Chérine, but Gustaph just really brought it all and he definetly deserves it.
I Think that he deserve to be seen and heard ! House music lovers voteee
Omg I wish he QUALIFY with Iceland and Denmark my dream must come TRUE
Hellou, this is Pekka from Finland. I´m so really going to vote for Belgium this year. I love House music and this song is so ready to be played in clubs, I just love this song. This is not a traditional Eurovision song, this so much more!!!!
Reminds me a bit of some mid 90s stuff too - M people and D-Ream? I think with some good staging he might get through - I’m not a fan of the grief he seems to be getting. I hope he has a cracking time in Liverpool! ❤
Nice song!
I agree with every word of your judgment Georgina 👌
I just heard the options for Germany here and I am in tears nearly... and def not happy ones... 😭😔🙈
Literally agreed with everything Georgina said on this one.
Sounds like a Take That song to me - but love it
It's got a great vibe, he's a great vocalist, it's got to qualify hasn't it? I liked your Lisa Stansfield reference, I knew the groove was reminding me of someone from the eighties. I read that he has been a backing vocalist for much of his career, and as such, wanted to highlight the girls behind him, so that's why they come to join him at one point. I just hope he avoids Norway's and Finland's semi-final to ensure a safer passage to the final, because whoever they select between them are definitely qualifying.
Always happy to hear your opinion. Because you are looking into "voice, vocal technique, musical inspiration", ... but more than that. I completely agree with you. It is a bop that needs some spicing up for the act (and he said he will be, even though this is the blueprint). Though this is the first time Belgium had acts of great quality, they surely have the time to make them perfect for bigger audience! As to the song: I agree the lyrics are kind of "bwa". He definitely was not my favourite, but apparently he is a hit with the older generation (who are nostalgic to the 80s-90s). He really wanted to make a statement on live vocals and putting a spotlight on the backing vocals, considering he was twice backing vocal at Eurovision (hidden backstage) : Sennek & Hooverphonic. I hope for some extra voguing to get the party started (why not and 2 drag queen dancers). I really want Gustaph to stay himself (if moving around or dancing is not his thing, please don't make him do it). I prefer perfect vocals over attempt to combine. And as to the outfit : this is a creation of Belgian Fashion artist Walter Van Beirendonck !
I get what you're saying about the lyrics but I don't think that many people really care about the lyrics. As a Belgian I'm happy you're positive about the song as he has received a lot of negative comments since he won.
Its like Gustav saw I.M from last year and thought "I like that" and did a Belgian version. He's very Boy George
I.M was really arrogant and so full of himself and the song was about him. This song isn't, it's something that speaks to everyone. Also Gustaph is far more loveable and has better vocals.
I found out eurovision is on my birthday (9th may) and im extatic
talk about something already perfectly crafted for a dance club remix
This formidable singer doesn't need Autotune, for a change ...
🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪
This has got a superb 90's beat & production which I completely live for, but his vocals are very reminiscent of Boy George, and I also get the same vibe from his outfit.
Not a popular opinion, but Belgium are in my top 5 this year. Its not pretentious, its not desperately trying to be groundbreaking, it's in its own lane and I respect Belgium for seeing something a little retro.
I think we've found the guilty pleasure of 2023, haven't we? ^.^
You are so right about the feel of this track - though I wish you hadn't said Lisa Stansfield as I can now only hear her singing this (and she'd perform the outro vamp so much better!!). At this stage he gets me vote. Both Lisa and Rochdale will forever be winners - - best JtF
Thank you very much from Belgium! I love the song and also agree that the lyrics are not strong.
Gustaph is een goede keuze hoor. Hij heeft een goede stembeheersing en zal ons vocaal zeker niet teleurstellen. Ik ben fan van het liedje van Chérine, maar ik vrees dat haar zenuwen op the big stage de bovenhand zouden hebben. Ben wel benieuwd naar de finale act van Gustaph.
Go Belgium 🖤💛❤ 🏳🌈
I really like this song don’t get the hate
wasnt my winner of eurosong- but happy for gustaph nonetheless.
Can I message you directly? I am portuguese and I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND the lyric! Some parts are difficult to translate, for sure (different languages, different expressions...) But if you answer me here, I will know that you read this, and I can explain. This song is amazing, for so many reasons! (I am also musicion, harpist, and this is my favorite portiguese eurovision song ever!) Lol. But yes, it's fun, sexy, intense (and not Spanish!), and about the incredible rollercoaster of love...! 😂😅Oh, and congratulations for your work, I "love" watching your comments!!
I think the song is great. With this kind of song I'm only looking for lyrics that are half decent with an excellent catchy chorus that you can sing and dance along too.
Left hand side, possibly top 10 if this grows on the community more which I think it will as ae get closer to the competition
How I love your Eurovision videos, and I wholeheartedly take your point about the lyrics. Although with all due respect you are overlooking the fact that they won't matter whatsoever, to the viewers in the thirty-three competing countries for whom English is not their first language...! X
Lyrics? Would you comment on lyrics in the Dutch language as well?
MIMICAT!!! ❤ 🐱 🇵🇹 🇵🇹
It reminds me of Mpeople with a man singing if that makes sense, but I could picture Heather Small singing it.
So annoyed eurovision didn’t come to glasgow. Me and my teacher are pissed lol.
You are right, a bit lyric challenged. Who cares, it nails the fun. My question to the aether. Which act will benefit the most from 2023 eurovision. I vote for Voyager (AUS). They will be welcome at any euro summer festival for years to come.
You should hear the other songs from Belgium's national final!
A review would be cool, my favorites were Cherine, Gala Dragot & Gustaph. Ameerah still quite ok. The others I didn't like.
The lyrics may not be super complex, but the ones that are there are meaningful. I'm a sucker for overly complex meanings and lyrics but something about the simplicity and what he says is just so feel good.
I think the main issue with the lyrics is this sort of thing can feel inauthentic but I think it comes across really well in this song. Gustaph is singing it as a love song to the LGBTQ community and it really has that authentic feel for me.
Is this a vocal coaching or a lyrics and clothes coaching?
I expected more.
I'm from Belgium and people overhate it, it's a BOP and Gustaph is an amazing singer/performer.
Am I the only one who gets Mick Hucknall vibes with his voice in the lower range(s)?
It needs a rewamp!
There were some really good songs like Cherine or Gala tbh idk how this one won.
Boy George vibe (dammit you say it the moment i type it )
I´m the front man of a country rock band. got probs with higher notes. can u help?
Im a brit working and living in germany 🙄
