The 1971 selection process for the Belgian Eurovision entry had resulted in a comprehensive victory for the song " Goeiemorgen , morgen " ( " Good Morning , Morning " ) , performed by Nicole & Hugo , to be the representative for the 16th Eurovision Song Contest , to take place on 3 April in Dublin . Less than a week before the contest however , Nicole fell ill with jaundice and the duo had to withdraw . As last-minute replacements , VRT drafted in Castel and Belgium 's 1963 Eurovision veteran Jacques Raymond . It was a race against time for the pair , not least when they arrived in Dublin to find that the stage layout at the Gaiety Theatre was unsuitable for the routine they had rehearsed . In the circumstances they gave a creditable performance on the night , but " Goeiemorgen , morgen " was not greatly appreciated by the juries and finished in joint 14th place of 18 entries
