21:15 CET, Een Song Voor Tom Dice
Live: Tom Dice presents his song for the Eurovision Song Contest
How to watch?
A webcast will be made available on eurovision.tv here.
The show opens with a medly of various Eurovision songs and dancers on stage to visualise the entries.
Tom Dice enters the studio and receives a big round of applause. He is talking to tonight's host about his song for the Eurovision Song Contest, which is to be revealed later on.
After a short clip, Tom goes on performing his own, more acoustic version of Leona Lewis' smash hit Bleeding love, which was his first single.
Now, a clip of Tom in the fitness studio to get him in shape for his Eurovision adventure is being shown.
On a screen, we can see a countdown telling us that Tom's bid for the Eurovision Song Contest will premiere in about half an hour.
Tom now performs an excerpt of Kings of Leon's Use somebody.
Another guest wishes for Tom to perform Madonna's Like a virgin and her wish is his commanded.
Tom and the guests are dicussing some of this year's already selected Eurovision entries- Spain, Switzerland, as well as their Dutch neighbours. The host also asks Tom about the famous Barbara Dex Award, the award for the worst dressed Eurovision act, named after the Belgian 1993 Eurovision Song Contest entrant Barbara Dex, who wore a dressed she had made herself for her performance, which inevitably raises the question of what Tom is supposed to wear in Oslo- a selection of some interesting proposals is being presented.
The Belgian song for the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest will be entitled Me and my guitar.
The song is highly autobiographical. As usual, Tom is accompanying himself with the guitar and stays true to his acoustic, mellow style. It's a rather quiet, unpretentious song with reflective, melancholic yet hopeful lyrics. All in all, Me and my guitar is very reminiscent to James Blunt's style and Tom receives big applause for his song for Oslo.

I think that the song of my country is a good song..but perheaps not for Eurovision Contest...

01. GREECE
02. SPAIN
03. SLOVAKIA
04. CROATIA
05. SWEDEN
6 months of preparations for that ??? even the guy singing in brussels street for a bit money sings better ... sorry Belgium but even if i m supposed to support my country i find this song very very boring ... but ok wish u good luck anyway !!
Good song from Belgium.
Top 5:
1. Armenia
2. Croatia
3. Turkey
4. Belgium
5. Finland
One of the best entries this year, and I love it! Could be a dark horse in ESC. Maybe a top 5 entry in Oslo!
sorry my dream country thats so boring thats like a cyprus entry
but good luck we looooove you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooo much
Yes, this is good and I would really love to see Belgium back in the final. I hope this gets a nice late draw in the running order as I think it would really benefit from that!
I think Mina X put it best: "looked like a scared rabbit" 
I like little sings, but this is not a great little one, sorry, AND it stands few chances in the ESC, if you know what I mean. Beyond personal tastes, that's it.
Sorry Belgium (again)
well I guess its kind of cute, if u dont like music.... terrible sorry
And all countries are sending songs for jury this year! 
D
Buuuuhuuuuu, televoters STILL exist!! 
But not for a long, I predict soon it will be 100% jury!
Hmmm...but money from televoting, what we gonna do about that!?
Belgium impressed me!Well done
high hopes on Serbia,Bosnia and the UK.
Cute guy with a cute and simple song.
Reminds me a bit of James Blunt.
It`s a very "silent" song that can sink among the more circus entries. Like the song and performer, but in Eurovision ??? I really don`t know this will go Belgiums way.
Hope for a good result - Not a winner.
Good luck From Norway & see ya in Oslo!
Hmmmmmmmmmm this is better than Russia without any doubts! But I just can't stand performances with guy palying guitar on the stage! And title of the song is about that - "Me and my guitar", loooooooooool
Don't like it!
Urban Trad, Xandee, Kate Ryan, even Ishtar!! ts,ts,ts!! 
ZAGREB 2011!
Def. one of the best ballads this year! Combination of a wonderful voice and lovely melody can be the key for the success!
Gefeliciteerd België! Goed gedaan jongens...mooi liedje! Groetjes en een dikke succes kus XD
A huge thumbs up for Belgium! Great song! Final is guaranteed, and top 10 is very likely. This might be a perfect mix of a jury song and a televoting song. I'm not sure it will win, but I can easily imagine 5th or 6th placing for Belgium.
He shows plenty of personality Mina. OMG, it is so individual! It might not show to you, but luckily we are not all the same.
Belgium is fighting for my 12 points, so far the best songs are from Belgium, Russia, Iceland, Turkey, Bulgaria and Slovakia. Belgium will be what France was last year
a sweet song,simple but nice one.warm and tender, i like it, galantis . athens
Not bad - and that's a lot this year!
ahh! finally a nice song from a country i care so much about 
This so much better than Norway..... this is a real uncomplicated International song, and more I believe the juries will absolutely adore this one......
This is actually one of the best songs loool

Veel succes Belgie. een goed lied dit jaar, ookal is het 't jaar van de ballads (dus zal waarschijnlijk uptempo wel winnen)
one of the best ballads so far.This will do very high.
Very nice song I like it. He has really a chance to qualify for the final
It's a nice song and he can sing. Too bad he doesn't show any personality whatsoever.
He has chances to qualify though. The 1st semi is weaker.
love it cause better than former belgian entries, lets wait and see in may as we there will be also professional juries in semi-final now
