Laura's Musical Journey
Junior Eurovision Success
Laura Omloop first gained attention in 2009. She was chosen to represent Belgium at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2009. This is a big singing competition for young people from different countries. It was held in Kyiv, Ukraine that year.
Laura performed her song "Zo verliefd" (which means "So in Love"). Her performance was very special because it included yodeling. She did incredibly well, finishing in fourth place. This was the best result Belgium had ever achieved in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest!
What is Yodeling?
Yodeling is a special way of singing. It involves quickly changing your voice between a normal chest voice and a high head voice. This creates a unique, wavering sound. It's often heard in folk music from places like the Alps in Europe. Laura brought this traditional style into her pop song.
