LOL, Scooch should announce the UK votes!!!
Maybe Claudia Winkleman will anounce the voted of the United Kingdom?? Anyway I think Belgium will qualify but if it does not I dont really mind as they are not in the top 10!
Beligiums song reminds me of being very drunk in Austria and not being able to understand anything when they had in-hotel singers. If they cant get through with Xandee and Kate Ryan, what on earth makes them think that this will do any better.
I was so against that Ishtar represent Belgium but now I see I was wrong and Belgium did good job sending them to Belgrade... My friends don't like this song at all and it was my first reaction too but now I LOVE IT... If this make it to the final they will score great results because listening one will not make such impression, but two times and ppl will like it i am sure...
Well done Belgium for sending Ishtar !!!!
I hope she won't be announcing votes in an imaginary language...
Enrique, I absolutely agree with you. No a clear favorite amongst us, eurovision fan, but on the evening itself, I have a feeeling Belgium will do extremely well. The song is very simple, happy, it picks you up, and after a few seonds you start singing along... now that's a clever song... If you're in for a gamble, I would put a few pounds on that one.
Stella Floras the besttt!!!
I believe that this year the Belgian song will be one of the surprises of the festival. One of the agreeable surprises of the festival.
ishtar are going to do Belgium proud. Sandrine has an alright song but it wouldn't have got points. I have a feeling Belgium will pick up some well-deserved points here and there courtesy of Ishtar. Just so enjoyable and watching them makes it better too cos they look like they are havin' a laugh.
I couldn't care if it is in an imaginary language because the vibe of the song comes across well enough for anyone to get it.
what language would ishtar announce turkey 12 points in?
Gosh, she was excellent at the Belgian national final. Very "funky", although I am kinda glad she didn't win cos it is very similar to our (UK) song this year, and would be competition for Andy!! 
Good luck to Belgium from the UK 
Please, Belgium. Don't give a single point to Spain. We don't deserve it.
Sandrine was great. She should be in Serbia with Isthar announcing the votes...
Well, without wanting to sound mean, it's just her range. Her song was bollocks.
This way we'll enjoy her pretty face for a few moments at least.
Yeah, I feel the same way 
Sandrine is 2000000 times better than Ishtar.
Go Sandrine!!!! Make us proud in 2010!
"I feel the same way" bored me immediately. I think the Belgian decision was wise, they chose the best song.
"I feel the same way" is boring, an average song that bores you immediately.
oh i hope belgium will send "i feel the same way" next year! kind of what slovenia did in 2006 i think! i luuuuved sandrine! pity they chose ishtar...
Belgium would have been my #1 if Sandrine represented the country. But unfortunately, she didn't win!..So now, I got Sweden as my fav'.
"I feel the same way" would have got all my votes.
sandrine should have represented belgium instead of that song...
