Liliane Saint Pierre (born Liliane Keuninckx, 18 December 1948) is a Belgian (Flemish) singer of Dutch language.
Saint Pierre was born in Molenstede, Flemish Brabant. She started her career in the 1960s when she was 13 years old and her great hit was We gotta stop sung in Dutch. She has sung several songs in English and Dutch. At that time she sang as Liliane. She became a success in Belgium. She became acquainted with Claude François a French singer and producer. Liliane asked him to promote her in France. He accepted this, but decided Liliane was too short for a name. He added Saint Pierre because this sounded French.
Liliane represented Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest 1987 where she sang the entry "Soldiers of Love in Dutch (a pacifist song). She finished in 11th place with 56 points. Liliane 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.
Liliane has sung several songs in Dutch, French and English.
