Le Grand Soir
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Le Grand Soir (English translation: "The Big Night") was the Belgian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005, performed in French by Nuno Resende.
The song was performed in the semi-final, as Belgium had not finished in the top 10 in the 2004 Contest. On the night, it was performed eleventh (following Iceland's Selma with If I Had Your Love and preceding Estonia's Suntribe with Let's Get Loud). At the close of voting, it had only received 29 points, placing 22nd in the 25-song field and not making the final - additionally, the result forced Belgium to qualify through the semi-final at their next Contest.
The song is a dramatic ballad, with Resende singing about the drama of "the big night" (exactly which night is never explained, however it could well be the Contest itself).
It was succeeded as Belgian representative at the 2006 Contest by Kate Ryan with Je T'Adore.
