Singer Vanessa Chinitor caricature
Vanessa Chinitor was chosen to represent Belgium (including Flanders) for the Eurovision Song Contest in Jerusalem.
It was the first time since 1977 that the Song Contest had a free language rule. Vanessa Chinitor chose an English text.
But some Flemish people did not agree. As a representative of Flanders, she should sing in Flemish, they thought.
Vanessa Chinitor represented her country at the Eurovision Song Contest in Jerusalem with the song 'Like the Wind'.
