Witloof Bay for Belgium: ”People wanted something different”
07 April 2011 at 05:18 CEST
Witloof Bay has risen to success in Belgium as an a cappella group. This led them to attempt the Eurovision Song Contest. And they won the national final, earning the opportunity to represent their country in Düsseldorf at the Second Semi-Final on the 12th of May.
"It was quite a surprise. We were really happy to get the maximum points from both the audience and the jury," the group tells Eurovision.tv.
They are performing the song With Love Baby, the title being a pun on the name of the group.
"From what we heard after the final, a lot of people liked the song – and a lot of people really hated it. That could be good. People wanted something different, and hopefully they get it with Witloof Bay," they say.
Witloof Bay is a group of five singers and one beatboxer. They come from the three regions of Belgium: Wallonia, Flanders and Brussels. With a repertory consisting initially of cover versions, they built up a fanbase thanks to their vocals and harmonies and RoxorLoops’ beatboxing. The group is currently working on their second album of original songs.
