What I've heard is that it's basically a done deal for Alekseev. He's Ukrainian and apparently was trying to represent them until he pulled out and has now gone for Belarus instead...
And I'd be fine with that, I think his song is quite dramatic and I love how it feels like classic Eurovision. The only other one I've checked out is "I Won't Cry" which is a slight bop |

the Alekseev song is ripping off a really popular Russian song from like 2003 it's ridiculous. the chorus is almost identical except for the more upbeat vibe. i hope it gets disqualified

We already have a pretty good idea of the potential staging for Forever when it goes to Lisbon (I mean it's basically a done deal at this point)

okay in all fairness that thing would probably be one of the most memorable special effects of the recent years (until something better comes along). especially if he pulls it off vocally being upside down like that

So, at the present time, 8 of the finalists have written an open letter threatening to withdraw from the National Final if Alekseev is not disqualified (since, yaknow, it is kinda an English version of a pretty big hit in Eastern Europe prior to September the 1st so it is literally the definition of "gaining commercial advantage" which the rule is in place to protect).
Oh Belarus, the country that refuses to stop giving! |

TOMORROW'S NATIONAL FINAL... BELARUS  Eurofest 16th February 2018 Begins at 7:10pm in the UK, 8:10pm Central European Time and 10:10pm in Belarus. Programme is scheduled to last 2 hours 40 minutes. Watch the selection via the official BTRC website. Running Order 01. Adagio - Ty i ja 02. Alekseev - Forever 03. Shuma - Chmarki 04. NAPOLI - Chasing Rushes 05. Anastasiya Malashkevich - World On Fire 06. Gunesh - I Won't Cry 07. Radiovolna - Subway Lines 08. Alen Hit - I Don't Care 09. Lexy - Ain't You 10. Kirill Good - Deja Vu Voting The usual 50/50 split between the jury and the televoting. Potential Winners? The betting market for the Belarusian selection is unsurprisingly quite low, there's very little in it among all 10 acts, however Alekseev and Gunesh are slightly ahead, with both being the two fan favourites also. Belarus' selection has been rocked with scandal this year and I very much suspect this will continue even after tomorrow night's final. |

Would love it if Deja Vu could somehow snatch this.

Televote numbers much lower than in recent years so I think that televote is fairly representative, but yes the jury can easily make their winner win considering they are getting a good 30 minutes to decide their votes *after* the televote reveal
 They could push Shuma to the win if they want another Belarusian language entry. |

The winner's reprise was perfectly competent vocally, I haven't seen his original performance yet but I had a feeling all the Eurofans TRASHING it were just creating a drama over nothing.
I think it was the best choice, should see Belarus in the final for a second year in a row (just)! |

QUOTE(Ryan. @ Feb 16 2018, 09:30 PM)  The winner's reprise was perfectly competent vocally, I haven't seen his original performance yet but I had a feeling all the Eurofans TRASHING it were just creating a drama over nothing. I think it was the best choice, should see Belarus in the final for a second year in a row (just)! It was good but felt a bit 'showy for the sake of it' if you know what I mean. I actually preferred his reprise perf in a normal outfit. Comfortable qualifier at the moment but with so many more songs still to come and the fact Russia and Ukraine are in the other semi, it could end up being borderline. |
