Good stuff. Hopefully they withdraw rather than rewrite the song, not cool with the idea of that band being anywhere near the stage.

 

On precedent it seems similar to Georgia 2009 which is fair.

They're allowed a new song altogether so I'd rather that than this song be rewritten.

EBU said no. I'll teach YOU :magic:

I feel like there's a good chance Belarus did this on purpose to give them a cover to pull out of the contest and claim it's because of the EU and the gays oppressing them. Oop

I just had a look and there's NO way these lyrics weren't meant to be of political nature so good f***ing riddance.

 

Also who the f*** even uses those words in songs nowadays?! they really thought they did something. pathetic :')

Entirely predictably, the alternate song Belarus submitted has been rejected by the EBU as well meaning that they will be disqualified from the 2021 contest.

:cheer: :cheer:

 

that band was always going to be problematic no matter what they sent. I wonder if Belarus are going to throw a strop about this and not enter in 2022?

Sashay away Belarus

*sigh* soooo predictable

anyway, I'm not complaining, these songs can potentially be described as 'masterpieces' only after couple bottles of vodka

Welp feel sorry for those who submitted an entry to represent Belarus but not sorry for Belarus to be disqualified when they want to keep being political...

big oof there

goodbye and don't come back until you fix your government

FFS Belarus, Manizha just lost 24 crucial points!!!

This was my thought too. If anyone had that as a borderline qualifier it surely has to be a DNQ now.

Manizha a DNQ? lolz

I'm hoping that Russia are still fine as "Russian Woman" has grown on me loads and I think it's one of the more interesting entries of the year, and I don't want to see Russia going back to playing it safe and boring next year with Sergey 3.0

 

But it definitely has to be bad news for Ukraine as well, I saw them as borderline leaning towards unlikely so they must be done for now? Great news for other potentially borderline acts like Lesley Roy and Albina :cheer:

Let's ignore the latter part of my previous post pls thx ~

 

Don't expect to see this lot back anytime soon

Shame but I have enjoyed a handful of entires. My favourite is the forced pride anthem that is „I Love Belarus“ which I’ve spent a decade singing as „I love Belarus, they’ll kill me otherwise“ 😬
