Several countries are already choosing their participants for the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö. One of the earliest will be Belarus which now announces the names of their ten finalist performers:

 

Max Lawrence - I Love Your Charming Eyes

Alyona Lanskaya - Rhythm In Love

Alexei Gross - One Way Love

Daria - Catch Me Again

Nuteki Band - Save Me

Satsura - Get Out Of My Way

Uzari - Secret

Яnkey - Letter To Mother

Vitaly Voronko - I Wonder How You

Beaver Band - Incredible Girl

 

Among them Alyona Lanskaya, who won the 2012 National Selection of Belarus but was later disqualified and now tries to represent her country again.

My thoughts on these songs: Mostly awful.

Alyona Lanskaya's track sounds alright, but none of those songs will see Belarus into the final next year.

Well not exactly a HOT selection of songs, but nevertheless, there are a couple I suppose that could do alright. My thoughts here.

Jesus this is atrocious. It's the first time I've tuned in to a Belorussian final and I can't see me doing it again!

The winner:

 

 

The instrumental is nice but other than that it's absolutely tragic.

If we assume that this is a keeper it's a pretty decent start to the Eurovision 2013 season really.

It's about a 6/10 track. But let's face it, it probably won't be the Belorussian entry come May!

Wow, if they change now, poor Alyona. Twice (possibly) cruelly denied by the whims of the Belarussian selection.

 

It's like a less fabulous/more generic Love Unlimited... so far so good.

It's alright, nothing special but could be a grower. An OK start to Eurovision 2013 I guess. I do hope it doesn't get changed again though, it would be quite horrible for Alonya to be denied Eurovision 2 years in a row, what horrible luck potentially!

It plods along but nothing really special, I wouldn't say it'll be a qualifier. The Belarussian entries never wow me anyway. ('Work Your Magic' aside)

I actually quite like it! The production is nice and the rest doesn't ruin it.

I'm really liking this! A much better version of 'Love Unlimited'.

I'm loving the production.

Well guess what the bitch is changing the song :lol:

Is she actually? I really like this...well disappointed if it doesn't improve...

As we expected, ESC Today are reporting:

 

BTRC, the Belarusian national broadcaster reports today on their official website that their 2013 Eurovision representative Alyona Lanskaya will most likely change her Eurovision entry.

 

Alyona won the right to represent Belarus at the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest last December when she won the 2013 Belarusian Eurovision national final with the song Rhythm of love. According to BTRC, British composer Simon Bass, who is part of Alyona's team has revealed that the Belarusian singer might change her Eurovision entry. Belarus will compete in the 2nd half of the 1st Eurovision Song Contest semi-final on 14 May.

I hope she doesn't as 'Rhythm of Love' is really good!

12points.tv are reporting that Alyona is at the Abbey Road Studios in London to record the new Belarus entry.

 

In a mysterious post on her Facebook fanpage, Alyona Lanskaya (or Alena Lanskaja as she might want us to spell it from now on) mentions that she is at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London recording some new songs, and that one of them will be the new Belarus entry to Eurovision 2013.

I hope she can come up with something as good as 'Rhythm of Love'!

I'm so sad that whenever Belarus sends a song I love they change it :lol:

 

They did so with 3+2's "Far Away", Anastasiya Vinnikova's "Born in Bielorussia" and now this :lol: Whenever they desperately need to change a song they don't though...

 

EDIT: I also forgot Alyona's "All My Life".
