After trundling along at the end of the 1970s , Saint-Pierre 's career was stuck in a musical deadlock . Said Saint-Pierre : " It was almost irreversible , until the Belgian entertainer Bobbejaan Schoepen called me for a series of performances in his park . Suddenly I had a year of work . This decision was taken soon ; the mentality of the army was not consistent with my worldview . " Saint-Pierre represented Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest 1987 , where she sang " Soldiers of Love " in Dutch ( a song with a strong pacifistic tone ) . She finished in 11th place with 56 points . Saint-Pierre had already made two previous attempts to reach the Eurovision final . In 1978 she performed the song " Mélodie " in Luxembourg 's qualifying heat and in 1981 sang " Brussel " in the Belgian national contest . Following " Soldiers of Love " , Saint-Pierre went on to record quite a few socially-engaged songs throughout her career
