Because Belgium is a nation where both Dutch and French are spoken, Belgium alternates the languages of its entries each year. Even nowadays the French-speaking ( RTBF ) and Dutch-speaking television ( VRT ) stations take turns to choose the entry. In 2007 , the French-speaking part is responsible for their entry, although the chosen song is sung in English.

In and Kate Ryan fared badly on the night. The only ever Belgian victory was from Sandra Kim in 1986 , also the youngest ever Eurovision winner, she was thirteen years old at the time.

Because of an extremely low score in 1993 , Belgium was not allowed to participate in the 1994 contest. The same happened in 1997 and again in 2001 .
