"Waarom" - Jacques Raymond
The Belgian Final was held on February 16th. The winning song was chosen by a combination of an "expert" jury and a public jury. There were 9 semi-finals before the final with 12 singers participating, and in each semi-final the three top placed songs went forward to the next semi-final. To qualify for the final you had to "survive" 3 semi-finals. The singers that did not qualify for the final were Bob Benny (who represented Belgium in 1959 and 1961), Enny Denita, Chris Ellis, Will Ferdy, Freddy Sunder, Jean Walters & Staf Wesenbeek - if you have details of the semi-finals then please mail me: [email protected]
