Small in Belgium but big on-line

Becoming famous in  Belgium in one day is one thing, becoming a worldwide youtube star is something completely different. But nothing is impossible, this man parks his 1m49 wided car (Fiat Panda)  in a 1m55 wide parking garage. Indeed one starts wondering, how do you get out and that is exactly why Eugène became famous.

The item was featured in a belgian television show (Man bijt hond/Man bites dog) and was afterwards covered by other channels and  on-line in UK ( BBC – TOP gear) , Croatia, Poland and Korea

With over 1 million views before it fully reaches the US and China this could become a real youtube hit and show up in the viral video charts soon. Eugène explained to a Belgian newspaper (de standaard) how he was asked to give demonstrations for different TV stations and receives phone calls from all over the world. Eugène would like this stop (when he again parks his car in front of another camera) but it can only get worse for the man from Liedekerke, Belgium. (Facebook fan page in dutch)

Hallelujah!

Despite the commotion about the Alexandra Burke version of Hallelujah, Natalia & Gabriel Rios recorded a new version of the Hallelujah-song for the 1212 – Help Haiti charity show on Belgian public and commercial TV stations (één & VTM)
With competition from Jeff Buckley, Leonard Cohen, Damien Rice and a lot of others, this version may not necessarily pass the test of time. (Nevertheless a strong performance by Gabriel Rios).  But  more importantly all profits will be donated to Haiti charity .

Buy the song to support Haiti (not yet available on itunes – 21- Jan 2010)

Hallelujah – Natalia & Gabriel Rios


Feel free to compare with:

Hallelujah – Jeff Buckley

Hallelujah – Leonard Cohen

Hallelujah – Damien Rice
