Onto Belgium for the 42nd song. It is my favourite Belgium entry of all time, LIEFDE IS EEN KAARTSPEL of 1996 by LISA DEL BO. The frikaans version is by CAROLINE BOSCH.
It is time from the Netherlands and their 1981 entry, HET IS EEN WONDER, originally sung by LINDA WILLIAMS. The Afrikaans cover we are using is by Belgium superstar DANA WINNER and she has done several Eurovision covers over the years and she also have done several songs in Afrikaans.
We move on to Belgium and a huge fan favourite, JE T’ADORE sung by Kate Ryan. There are two Afrikaans covers so we are using the one by SHINE 4 – the group has unfortunately disbanded now.
Dana Winner from Belgium is probably the cover queen – she has done more covers of EURO songs than any other female singer. She is in South Africa to promote her new CD and will also tour in April. Her new CD contains at least one song in Afrikaans.
