Amaryllis singer Uytterlinden has the first episode of eurosong 2016 won. That made presenter Peter Van de Veire just known at the end of the broadcast.

In the first of a total of three episodes released the five selected candidates a own version from well known Eurovision songs. As the fifth and last came Amaryllis to bid with a quirky version of Loreens Euphoria, that in 2012 the song contest in Azerbaijan won. At the end, the viewers are asked to vote for their favorite, and Amaryllis turned out to be the crowd favorite. One of her first comments gave them to us:

For clarity: the vote of tonight was only based on the covers. It was not until the broadcast of next week we get the five new, participating to hear songs from eurosong 2016 . Within two weeks the final place, with the same five numbers. Then vote the European juries and One viewer in order to get a Belgian Eurovision contribution.
