Laura Tesoro: “I do not support Hamas, I do not hate Jews”!

January 8, 2024/0 Comments/in Belgium, Eurostars, Eurovision 2024/by Giannis Argyriou

Laura Tesoro, who sparked a storm of reactions, both positive and negative, with her move to raise the Palestinian flag at the concert given in honor of the assumption of the Presidency of the Council of the EU by Belgium, is now coming to justify her move, saying that does not support the terrorist organization Hamas.

The big concert held in Mechelen, Antwerp, was marked by demonstrations by pro-Palestinian organizations, which even forced the intervention of the police. Laura Tesoro who sang at this concert, made a move that was commented on in various ways and about which you read in our previous article.

During her performance she raised the Palestinian flag, with some in the audience cheering and others reacting negatively. A little while ago, Laura Tesoro, who successfully represented her country in Eurovision 2016, reaching tenth place, justified her move, wanting to distance herself from Hamas, which runs the Palestinian enclave in Gaza.

Belgium: Laura Tesoro raises the Palestinian flag at the concert for the Presidency of the Council of the European Union!

January 7, 2024/1 Comment/in Belgium, Eurostars, Eurovision 2024/by Giannis Argyriou

The Presidency of the Council of the European Union is held in rotation by the EU member states for one semester. The Presidency chairs meetings at all levels of the Council, ensuring the continuity of the EU’s work within the Council.

For the first half of 2024, the Presidency of the Council of the EU is assumed for the 13th time by Belgium. On the occasion of the celebration of the presidency of the European Union, a great concert took place last night in Mechelen, Antwerp, which was however colored by the war between Israel and Palestine, an event that is of particular concern to the entire planet.

Specifically, yesterday’s concert was interrupted for more than fifteen minutes by pro-Palestinian demonstrations. Specifically, dozens of activists had mingled with the crowd, holding flags and shouting slogans, to express their displeasure with the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and Europe’s stance. In fact, one of the activists strongly addressed the crowd, but was removed by the police.

Conductor Dirk Brossé tried several times to calm the spirits, but this had little effect. Also, singer Laura Tesoro, who represented the country at Eurovision 2016, with the song What’s The Pressure, taking 10th place, also tried to restore peace by raising a Palestinian flag. Skirmishes broke out in the crowd, while the police intervened with civilians.

On the other hand, the mayor of Mechelen, Bart Somers took the stage and called on the activists to show respect to the large crowd attending the concert.

“Everyone has the right to freedom of expression, but the people who come to the party also have the right to it. One day everything will be fine. Peace and love on earth”.

Finally, the head of the opposition Marc Hendrickx (N-VA), said he was ashamed of this action.

“I demand from the city council to reject them”.

Over the past couple of months, many Eurostars have expressed their views publicly on social media regarding the ongoing conflict in the Middle East between Israel and Palestine. Among them Eric Saade and La Zarra.

Belgium: Mustii’s song will be released in February!

August 31, 2023/0 Comments/in Belgium, Eurovision, Eurovision 2024/by Fotios Ntinos

Yesterday, RTBF, the French-language broadcaster from Belgium, was the first to announce its artist for Eurovision 2024. 33 years-old Mustii will be the one to fly the Belgian flag to Malmö, a well known artist in the French-speaking part of Belgium.

Belgium: Mustii will represent the country to Malmö!

During an interview with VRT, Mustii announced that his Eurovision entry will be released in February. Meanwhile, he got into details about his Eurovision participation as well as what to expect from him.

According to Mustii, RTBF contacted him, bearing in mind that he is also a judge on Drag Race Belgium, which is produced by RTBF.

Mustii mentions that:

My style evolves into pop with a dark edge. I have influences from new wave and rock, but they remain pop albums. I contrast pop with fragile subjects, I like to play with them. My last album, for example, was a homage to my uncle who had schizophrenia.

He also says that:

My idea is to go to the Eurovision Song Contest with my own DNA. I don’t want to lie, I want to be sincere and authentic. I don’t want to create a fake character.[…] But I have been working in the studio for a while. I also want the song to be part of an album and not just a random song for the Eurovision Song Contest.

So, we can expect that Mustii will keep his artistic identity on the Eurovision stage and his song will be similar to his music style.

Belgium seeks to keep its qualification streak and respectable results. Gustaph’s unexpected success in Liverpool seems that was the motivating force that led to an as early as possible and professional selection procedure.

Belgium: Mustii will represent the country to Malmö!

August 30, 2023/0 Comments/in Belgium, Eurovision, Eurovision 2024/by Fotios Ntinos

Eurovision 2024 has officially started and with 8 1/2 months to go, Belgium is the first country to announce its artist. Belgian broadcaster RTBF has confirmed that pop star Mustii will represent the nation at the Eurovision Song Contest in Sweden in Malmö 2024.

Who is Mustii?

Mustii is well-known to Belgian audiences.

Thomas Mustin, better known by his stage name Mustii, is a novelist, composer, singer, and actor. He has been in a number of stage performances, television shows, Netflix original series, and feature films like “Grave”, “Un Petit Boulot”, and “L’Echange des Princesses”.

He was cast as the infamous Patrick Dils in the 2017 French TV drama “Je Voulais Juste Rentrer Chez Moi” before taking on the role of Hamlet in 2019 under the direction of Emmanuel Dekoninck.

Mustii has achieved success as a singer in addition to acting. Mustii is known for seducing audiences with his captivating voice, which is both powerful and fragile at the same time. He has two albums to his credit, “21st Century Boy” and “It’s Happening Now”, which were commercial successes, successful tours (selling out the Ancienne Belgique on three occasions), and he won the “Revelation of the Year” trophy at the D6bels Music Awards.
