Sandra Kim, pseudonym (named after Kim Wilde) of Sandra Caldarone (Montegnée (near Liège), October 15, 1972) is a Belgian singer. She is best known as the youngest ever winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 1986 with the song J'aime la vie, with which she gave Belgium its first (and for the time being the only) victory in the Eurovision Song Contest. Sandra Kim started singing at an early age. She was discovered at the age of eleven. Two years later she was already at the contest "L'ambrogino d'oro" in Milan as the singer of the group Musiclub with the song Ami Ami. Barely six months later, she was selected as a Belgian participant for the Eurovision Song Contest. Her performance was not entirely uncontroversial, as some believed she was 15 years old when in reality she was 13.5 years old. Perhaps because she sang: "Moi j'ai quinze ans et je te dis, whoa whoa, j'aime la vie." After the Eurovision song contest it came out that she was thirteen, but the result was not changed.
