Elvis at the Eurovision

Belgium - Photographer Indrek Galetin (EBU)Belgian artist Patrick Ouchene was a bit upset as he greeted the journalists: he had lost his comb. “The artist without a comb is nonsense”, complained Patrick who is famous for his devotion to the stylish image of Elvis Presley.

Belgian delegation admitted that the artist had had some problems with Elvis Presley fan-club listen. Patrick said, however, that he had never pretended to the glory of the king of rock’n’roll. His song is comic and a bit of rock'n'roll at Eurovision contest will not do any harm: “We are fond of Elvis. Just like anyone who is related to rock”.

Many journalists were interested why they could not see at the rehearsal the animation cat – an important character of the Belgian artist’s show listen. Representatives of the delegation promised that this artist would appear at the next rehearsal. “This cat is an important character. Its presence on the stage reflects our sense of humor. Our cat likes chocolate and it is always aware of problems of its society”, said the artist about his scenic partner.

To the question what is more important for him – a show or a song, Patrick answered that the show was not a priority. “We try to perform without many special effects, because Eurovision is a song contest”, said Patrick Ouchene.

The Belgium delegation was represented by:
Leslie CABLE (Head of Delegation), Patrick OUCHENE (lead artist), Marina de WAHA (Head of Press), Lenn DAUPHIN, Marie-Ange TCHAI, Desta HAILE (backing artist).
