Flemish
broadcaster
BRT
was in charge of the selection of the Belgian entry for the 1987 Contest, while
RTBF
hosted the Eurovision Song Contest for Belgium due to their winning the previous year. The national final was held at the Amerikaans Theater in Brussels, hosted by Luc Appermont. Twelve singers had been invited to present a song in the selection, but Judith Vindevogel withdrew before the final, leaving eleven songs competing to become that year's Belgian entrant. Voting was by regional juries in the five Flemish provinces of Belgium, alongside a professional jury. Saint-Pierre emerged the winner by a 5-point margin, having been placed first by four of the regional juries (and second by the other), but being ranked only sixth by the professional jury.
