Belgium chose their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 using Flemish broadcaster VRT . The Belgian final, Eurosong '06 , was staged on February 19th and favourite Kate Ryan managed to win with the song ''Je t'adore''. Kate Ryan’s song is a Swedish dance track that she wrote the lyrics to in collaboration with a Swedish team. ''Je t'adore'' was one of the favourites among many others in the Belgian final. Kate Ryan, born as Katrien Verbeeck, is a Belgian Singer-songwriter who gained international prominence with a cover of Mylène Farmer 's '' Désenchantée '', which was a hit on European pop charts. Kate Ryan is known internationally after the release of her first album called “Different.” She also extended her fan bases to North America after she released her second album, “Stronger,” in North America in 2005. Polls suggest the Belgian entry is the early favourite to take the Eurovision crown. Flemish Minister of Culture Bert Anciaux gave a subsidy of 60000 euros in order to promote Kate Ryan and her song in the other participating countries of this year's contest. The money will be used to pay for a promotional tour throughout these countries. The subsidy itself has been harshly criticized in the Flemish press.
