Born in Neerpelt to Spanish parents, María Isabel Perez Cerezo discovered her talent at the age of 5. The singer was discovered for her musical talents by her former manager Patrick Renier at a local talent show.
In 1999 she participated in the Belgian preselections of the Eurovision Song Contest and from then on Belle's career in music took off. She started off in pop music but in 2002 changed her style to latino/pop and went live on stage with her own "Baila Perez"-band. The album that came with it was an instant success and remained on the top spot in the Belgian charts for several weeks.
By 2006 her career was at an incredible high. She reached the status of "star" in both Belgium and The Netherlands. Her numerous concerts in both countries sold out in record time. In May 2006 she performed for the first time in the Antwerp Sportpaleis. Later that year, she also took the stage at Heineken Music Hall (Amsterdam).
In the summer of 2006 she released her long awaited new album 'Gotitas de Amor', after having released her fifth and Best Of album at the end of 2005.
2007 and 2008 proved to be equally successful with the Latin Fever tour, once again a sold out concert at the Sportpaleis Antwerp and for the very first time a show at Ahoy Rotterdam. Also, in 2008, the album GIPSY hits the stores.
In 2009 Belle Perez celebrated her 10th anniversary as an artist. Standaard Uitgeverij released her biography, she toured once again with her live band and put out a DVD, all named "DIEZ" (Spanish for TEN).

Belle Perez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El viento me despeina
Suave aroma de colitas
Luna luna de el aries
Ella de lo lejos
Una luz se entela
La bella del mercan
Te vi por el anoche
Alli estaba en la entrada
why la campana venga sonar
why me dijo lla venimos
Que se apoderado del cielo
Ella enciende una vela
why muestra el camino
Soy vos el corriador
why yo senti que dicen
Welcome to see hotel California
Such a lovely place , such a lovely place
Welcome to see hotel California
Such a lovely place , such a lovely place
Miraba lo que brillaba
why era una Mercedes
Rodeada de chicos guapos
Que ella llama amigos
Cuando baila en el patio
Perfuma de verano
Hay que verla para recordar
why otra para olvidar
Le pide el capitan
Que sirva el vino
why me dijo no amo
Temido este alcohol
Desde el '69
Las voces que estan llamando
Hay que verla para recordar
why otra para olvidar
Welcome to see hotel California
Such a lovely place , such a lovely place
Welcome to see hotel California
Such a lovely place , such a lovely place
(parlando)
El espejo en el techo
El Champagne en el hielo
why ella dijo
Somos todos prisioneros
Por su propia voluntad
why a los cuatro principales
Hacen su fiesta
Atacan a la bestia
Pero no la logran matar
Mi ultimo recuerdo
Corri atender la puerta
Me dio un corte de camino
Por donde habia llegado
Ella se endica al portero
Pone su nombre a recibir
Puede salir cuando quiera
Pero nunca yo parti
Welcome to see hotel California
Such a lovely place , such a lovely place
Welcome to see hotel California
Such a lovely place , such a lovely place .
The song "Hotel California" by Belle Perez describes a mysterious and seductive hotel in the middle of the desert. The opening verses suggests that the singer is on a journey through the desert at night, with the winds blowing through her hair and the smell of marijuana in the air. She sees a light in the distance, which turns out to be the Hotel California. Once inside, she is greeted by a woman who lights a candle and shows her the way. The singer feels like she is trapped in the hotel, unable to leave, but also feeling welcomed and comfortable in this strange and exciting place.
The chorus of the song repeats the words "Such a lovely place" twice, implying that the Hotel California has a captivating beauty that draws guests in, despite its potentially dark and mysterious nature. Later verses describe the luxury of the hotel, with a Mercedes car and attractive people around the singer. As the night progresses, the captain offers everyone wine, but the singer is warned against drinking it, as it has been feared since 1969. The final verse of the song implies that the singer is trapped in the hotel, unable to leave, and ending with the ominous line "But never I left."
