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 proposalsis 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.
