Belgium was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1991 with the song "Geef het op", written by Kris Wauters, Koen Wauters, Bob Savenberg, and Jan Leyers, and performed by the band Clouseau. The Belgian participating broadcaster, Flemish Belgische Radio- en Televisieomroep (BRT), selected its entry through a national final, after having previously selected the performer internally.

Euro-Clouseau

[edit]

Clouseau were chosen internally by Flemish broadcaster Belgische Radio- en Televisieomroep (BRT) to be that year's Belgian representatives. In June 1990, the BRT had signed an agreement with Clouseau to represent Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest, but this agreement was not revealed to the public until 1 September 1990. On 9 March 1991, Euro-Clouseau was broadcast live at 20:10 CET on TV1. Euro-Clouseau was held in the Casino Cursaal in Ostend and was hosted by Jessica de Caluwe. The show featured archive footage of Clouseau's career, and Clouseau also performed several songs from their repertoire, three of which ("Geef het op", "Hilda", and "Ik kan zonder jou") were candidate songs for the Eurovision Song Contest. The band made their own choice from the three songs and announced "Geef het op" as the song they would perform in Rome.[1][2]
