Belarus BELARUS 2015 - Uzari & Maimuna - Time

[PeterLPZ]

What a horrible song.

 

[Milos-BC]

It's not that bad, but it's too ordinary and it doesn't have anything special to motivate someone to vote for it. If nothing radical changes here, I can see Belarus at the very bottom this year (in the semi, ofc).

Its something similar to FyrMacedonia's song.
So, nothing special.

Belarus best entry since 2007 "Work Your Magic", it's catchy and the juries might be generous to it. And that reaction from Rybak, wow sore loser much?

 

[Sim]

hmmm, it doesn't really convince me, but it has still 5 months... a 5 for now

I'm satisfied with this choice. It's over most of the songs in the NF and over most of the songs Belarus usually sends. I'm still waiting to watch a different live performance than the audition, cause the song has potential, but everything depends on the performance. It could go either very good or look so-so. 5 points so far.

It's because last time televoting had 50% of power, now it had 12,5% of power. People lost interest in televoting.

Thanks! Look so much better now, so I'm gonna change my vote from 5 to 8. This has great potential and it's way more memorable than or

Nice song, but won't stand out among other songs. (same problem with "We are the heroes, back in 2012)
Belarussian Timoteij would have appealed to everyone watching the show, I loved it even from the first listen.
*keeps his fingers crossed that Belarus will go for a song change once again*

 

[Joni]

At least clearly better than last year, I hated that song.

I don't think Milki would have done well in Vienna. Sure the televoters would have voted it for it like gangbusters, but the juries would have sunk that song big time

I can't say for certain how it would have gone, of course, but I don't think its potential should be dismissed that quickly - I had thoughts identical to yours regarding Russia 2012, and while that was indeed less popular with juries than with televoters, it still managed a very respectable finish. I imagine that Accent would have done the same (though perhaps not ending as high as second place).

I can still see Time being in the top ten, though, if it gets a rework and some great staging, both of which are possible. At the very least it deserves to place better than Belarus' 2008-2014 entries.

The song starts promising, but before it takes off, it falls flat. The chorus is so much weaker than the verses.

Looks like final, but bottom 5.

It's Conchita's fault!

Or the fault of the broadcaster. Why would you wanna vote, if it couldnt count less than it actually does?

I noticed that, but i think what Henhu said is the likely reason. Either that or the broadcaster was blocking the televotes so people couldn't get through and vote.

 

[pyryniemi]

I like this one, but it really needs a stronger arrangement to have a shot at doing well.

Right now, I don't think it will qualify Uzari's not that great of a singer and the song is too repetitive for the juries
Televoters might place it in their semi top10 though

Why would they block the televote? It didn't really matter at all what televoters wanted.

 

[Mlyn]

Hey look, a juror basically states that Milki didnt deserve it because they were too new.

So keep that in mind y'all - get established before applying for Eurovision for Belarus!

Rybak was asked to write a winning song for Belarus, but he failed by choosing the wrong band. Maybe he should have given his song to Gunesh..... oh dear Belarus

 

[Leydan]

^So hes basically admited that he purposely marked them down because they were new. Which is such a poor excuse, because I think the winner has a bad vocal capacity. Like Alexander said something new and fresh is what is needed. There is obviously a reason as to why Gunesh has failed 6 times. I wonder if Lukashenko will intervene. I see a scandal and song/artist change coming.

Why would they block the televote? It didn't really matter at all what televoters wanted.

To help legitimize the jury votes? if the jury vote was somewhat similar to the televote then they can help minimize a scandal.
