Power-pop which, although not unkind to half a dozen other songs did think, of <strong>Dotan, Hozier and Bastille<\/strong> to <em>Heroes<\/em> of M\u00e5ns Zelmerl\u00f6w.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s never a good idea to chase the winning song of the year, but also separately, we have nothing but reservations about Tom Frantzis. The way he presented his song on stage was <strong>outrageous<\/strong>. As if he was on his shopping list to finishing a free Saturday afternoon. Nothing of inspiration, conviction or carrying capacity.<\/p>\n<p>An artist with the look of a p that already a week in the fridge is, without plastic film besides. Impossible to straighten out on one week and on this basis alone. Where did that VRT in God&#8217;s name in recent months actually kept doing?<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Vijf.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3385\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3385\" src=\"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Vijf-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Vijf\" width=\"108\" height=\"108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Vijf-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/songfestival.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Vijf-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/songfestival.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Vijf.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 108px) 100vw, 108px\"><\/a>Dennis Van Goethem, music reviewer Het nieuwsblad<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Tom who? Correct Yes, the noble unknown. No idea where the talent scouts of <em>eurosong<\/em> this <strong>bakers son<\/strong> have found, but it does at least use the eyebrows frown. The man is anything but a stage beast and would need in a image test even the thumbs for a cold schnitzel. Not exactly a potential finalist for Stockholm, so. But heck, so lures the VRT get some female viewers of middle age.<\/p>\n<p><em>I&#8217;m Not Lost<\/em> is a prime example of what enthusiasts call <strong>power pop<\/strong> : optimistic, fast meezingbaar and semi-philosophical on teen level. Just think of a from Flemish clay mined reincarnation of Bastille and The Script \u2013 horror, my father would say.<\/p>\n<p>But we are no sub-humans: Tom has a decent voice, and after a time or three remains the chorus even in our head around ghosts. He is also not outgunned. As Tom next time away from the high notes, he as always the <strong>underdog<\/strong> \u2013 k litter of Flanders \u2013 surprise. Pots will break this guy never do, but between this mess deserves Tom a cutting in the top three.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fitvids-video\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube\"><a class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2XqSBip8h2s\" video-title=\"Eurosong 2016 - Tom: I'm not lost\" title=\"Play Video &quot;Eurosong 2016 - Tom: I'm not lost&quot;\" style=\"text-decoration:none;color:#000\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2XqSBip8h2s<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two music journalists go with a critical ear by the entries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3605,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[1199,185,254,1071,219,17,24,1159,1198,15,19,875,768],"class_list":["post-3597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-eurosong2016","tag-bastille","tag-dotan","tag-eurosong","tag-eurovisie","tag-eurovisiesongfestival","tag-eurovision","tag-heroes","tag-im-not-lost","tag-im-not-lost-im-on-my-way","tag-mans-zelmerlow","tag-songfestival","tag-tom","tag-tom-frantzis"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.2","language":"en","enabled_languages":["nl","fr","en"],"languages":{"nl":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true},"fr":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true},"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3597"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3597\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3605"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/songfestival.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
