next = Sister"Envie De Vivre" (English translation: "The Will To Live") was the Belgian entry in the
Eurovision Song Contest 2000 , performed in French byNathalie Sorce .The song was performed tenth on the night (following
Russia 'sAlsou with "Solo" and precedingCyprus ' Voice with "Nomiza "). At the close of voting, it had received 2 points, placing last of 24 countries.Sorce sings about the will to live and the power that it has, although she points out the difficulties of living in a world without love.
Due to the expanded Contest, Belgium's poor recent record made them ineligible for participation in the 2001 Contest, but as a "passive country", they were invited to return for 2002. Thus, the song was succeeded as Belgian representative at the 2002 Contest by
Sergio & The Ladies with "Sister".
