Good evening and welcome to Brussels!
We are gathered here tonight to find the best song in Global Music 2008!
Last year, Lara Fabian won the Super Final for Belgium, which is why we are here tonight.
But tonight we will crown another Super Champion.
All the countries that took part in a final in Global Music in 2008 are competing tonight.
They are each represented by the song, that did the best for them.
Greece and Sweden do, however, have more than one song in the Super Final.
That's because they manage to win more than one edition in 2008, and you can't hold a Super Final without all the winners!
We will have two semi finals with 25 songs in each. Only 12 songs from each heat will qualify for the Grand Final
You can vote in the usual ESC-style for any of the songs below, even if you yourself submitted it to the contest.
There are no excuses for not actively taking part in finding
