According to esctoday, this is the chosen entry for Belarus!

 

 

A little dull, but at least it's not another male "rock" soloist :D

I rather like it. It reminds me a bit of Prime Minister - Northern Girl (Russia 2003 I think?) I have heard much worse this year, it's probably in my top 5 :o
Not as bad as most of the others that have been selected so far, but still pretty dismal. :( I really hope the UK, Ireland, Greece, Sweden, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Ukraine and Russia deliver the goods...

It's very good! Even better than in 2007 even though who could've thought they could choose something better?! (I'm not a fan of Work Your Magic btw)

 

The accent is HIDEOUS though. There is NO excuse in this world to pronounce the 'th' sound as 's'... oh wait there is ... only if you are dumb :D All those who tell 'oh i can't do it no matter how i try :cry: ' are lazy $h!ts.

Work Your Magic was a #1 in my chart :heehee: amazing song, always thought it sounded like a long lost Bond theme, albeit sung by somebody with a tragic English accent (like all Belarusians it seems :drama:)
It wasn't until 2008 when I became a massive ESC fan, so in 2007 I hadn't heard the songs before the semi-final, and on the night, Belarus was my favorite on the night (since Andorra didn't qualify), and the song I voted for. But since then, I've developed more favorites from the year

2004 is still my favourite entry of theirs, despite the bizarre live vocal, followed by 2005 and then 2007.

Oh I replied to your message before realising they'd changed their entry!

 

This is far far better than their previous entry - would move them from average to good at least and sounds like a big grower too!

Better than "Far Away", but now they've ruined the "Far Away" & "Run Away" in the same semi thing (last year, we could've ended up with "Lose Control" for Finland, "Out Of Control" for Ireland & "Out Of Control"* for Greece)

 

I didn't think they've qualify with their first song, but I love the chorus on the new song, and they could just have booked their place in the final

 

*May not be the exact title

Dar Away>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Butterflies.

Beautiful :wub:

 

Far Away wouldn't have qualified, but this almost certainly will. Malta have no hope in qualifying now.

Massive grower alert, seems Peter was right - I do love it :lol: The way it builds up is great

 

one minor niggle still 'and im-ay-gine, just im-ay-gine' :drama: hopefully they'll correct this on the live performance but it's no worse than Anna Bergendahl and her 'eye-ron' I suppose...

When it comes to English pronunciation, you can't get any worse than the lovely Lena. It might be her singing style and done on purpose, but when she says "toenails", to me, it sounds like she's saying "toenaits" :kink:

Very true. And Tom Dice's cover of 'Bleething Love' was priceless :heehee:

This whole 'im-ay-gine' pronunciation thing is quite common in russian speaking countries so no surprise here. It's the only thing that annoys me in the song, to the point where I want to hurt myself really badly actually. :(

 

The song is indeed a massive grower! Not that i disliked it when i first heard it. Belarus are back on horse!

I really like it, and I love the music video, but I don't think it's strong enough to win, and I think it needs a late draw to do well, as I see it as being a little bit forgettable
