This year is was the Flemish part of Belgium to choose the country's Eurovision entry. The Belgian Final was held on March 17th at Het Omroepcentrum in Brussels
The song is a contemporary ballad with some interesting chord and flows. The song fluctuates between being a slow piano based slow ballad or being slightly more bassier and guitar led. She does sometimes emphasis these parts and little bit too much which make the song a little schizophrenic at times. The ending however is quite good and engages the listener and I could imagine this being a good ending visually too. The song has a good story to it, which Iris sells quite well. It does sound a bit like a female “me and my guitar”
Iris has a reasonably good voice and the song does show off the strength of her voice as well as show her squeaky parts of her upper range - some people will like this, others will find it terribly annoying. Her physical performance is a little amateur and it times it feel like she has no awareness of her body. She needs to really choreograph what she is doing down to the tee. I feel she would do well with having some back up around her whether it be extra singers or dancers
I am pleased with this song and with time to perfect those extra performnce skills needed, she could pull this off. Should qualify.
