Belarus BELARUS 2015 - Uzari & Maimuna - Time

[Mlyn]

Rybak as well as the Eurovision fandom across Europe really have the power to make Loukachenko intervene. He will spell death penalties to the jurors and give Milki the Golden ticket to Vienna. Belarus has proved too often they don't stand by their choices, so this "Time" I have still hope they won't neither

We want your Milk and not your Time!!!

That's Andy from ESCKaz if anyone didn't know! He has shitty reasoning though... what if a complete stranger came out with a record-breaker? Would they let their chance of a victory go by so that their Sanna Nielsen can win?

 

[Mlyn]

Apparently yes, they would.


Rybak himself was a complete stranger with a record-breaker. Now we know why he represented Norway and not Belarus.

 

[Sean]

Apparently yes, they would.

Their loss then! Not that Milki would've won Eurovision of course

 

[Mlyn]

How are the odds that Gunesh will represent Belarus in 2016? They must be shortening.

Seems to me that Rybak is just a sore loser, who can't handle any setback. What did he expect? That everything he writes would win because he is the great almighty mr. Rybak? Even if it was totally decided by public vote, he probably still wouldn't have won, being second to Muzzart and all. And let us not forget the entry is just a very trashy simple song, only surviving on a catchy hook. The live performance was also pretty bad. I believed "Time" to be a decent winner, because it was better composed and seems way more professional than any other song has sent over the past few years.

Rybak is a great artist with big emotions who can let his inner child shine. And his inner child is hurt now, that he was asked for a favour, invested his life in this project and got turned down. The reply of this ESCkaz guy is really outrageous imho.

So the other artist put no efforts into making their songs? They didn't make a single sacrifice? Raybak is acting just like you said.....a spoild child. A the praise of the Eurovision fanwank has gone to his head and he doesn't consider the other contestants at all, who probably put just as much effort or even more effort in their songs.
The only part that i do agree on is that the reasoning of the ESCkaz is completely ridiculous. Milki didn't lose because it was too new....It lost because it wasn't good enough.

 

[Sean]

Shame it wasn't 100% televoting

 

[EscGeek]

Try to look at the situation from Rybak's perspective: He was asked multiple times to write a eurovision song for his country,and now that he finally did, they didn't selected it,even though it was a huge favorite.

Maybe they'll change the song after all...This is Belarus after all

But Milki didn't win with the jury or the televote so why would they be chosen?

Than they should have asked Raybak to write a song for an internal selection, simple as that. Entering an open contest expecting to win because people asked you to join is just stupid.

I don't know whether to laugh or actually feel a bit sorry for Rybak. Something tells me he was promised success and because he didn't get it, he's turned on the whole selection. Either that or he's utterly deluded. He hardly wrote a masterpiece. Produces a piece of Eurotrash, quickly forms a girl band based more on looks than anything else and he expects everyone to kiss his feet, quite clearly. By behaving in such a way now, he insults the songwriters and artists that have finished above him. A very poor loser.

Maybe for once the Belorussian selection wasn't rigged and that's why he lost? But he's suggesting it's apparently rigged against him? What would the country have to gain by doing such a thing? They clearly wanted him. He just didn't deliver.

 

[Fluke]

Sounds like they tried to go for a "Not Alone" / "Running" vibe, and failed. :?

Seriously? After all it's a song contest, and not a stuck-up-masterpiece-contest. He won the ESC himself with a circus act that scored record breaking points and Belarus was sucking up to him to deliver them a winning song. Accent is not Eurotrash, just because someone who detests melodies and hooks says so. It's a great song with an amazing melody. An act of indiligent song-writing sounds different, like "Time" (hello chorus, where are you?).

Maybe you would have loved the song if it was sung by the queen of trolls. You can click me away now with your mouse, while I keep ordering my favourites from Trijntje to Oosterhuis.

true,but did you happen to catch the commercials yesterday?? Muzzart's song was featured...
isn't that fishy?

Yes, it's not the stuck-up-masterpiece-contest but anyone would be forgiven for thinking so, the way Rybak is going on about his loss. His attitude has been dreadful and is truly disrespectful to all the other artists and songwriters that competed. The massive success has obviously gone to his head and he now feels entitled. What's strange is how he apparently stuck up for Belarus prior years when actual confirmed scandal had taken place. He enters this year knowing of the countries history and now he's looking to point the blame at someone as it hasn't gone his way.

Someone who detests melodies and hooks?xwhat I think melody is pretty much the important thing when it comes to music, especially pop. However, "Accent" verged on the annoying side for me personally. Of course, tastes all differ.

As for queen of trolls, she could sing the phone book and it would sound wonderful "Oh-Oh-Uh-Oh-Oh I like" now that's a hook

The more I listen to this song, the more I like it Great entry Belarus!

 

[Yoozek]

Wow wow wow. Whata great news! I liked 'Accent' and though it was going to win but... let's prefer quality over joy at least once in belarussian entry! I'm gonna be a really big fun of it this (wait, next) next year!

And wait, is he the same guy?

Maimuna is going to be rather useless on stage so let her look nice at least.

 

[Mlyn]

Well, Rybak can be whatever he wants to be on his facebook. No one asked for an English translation of his personal video, yet someone translated it for the sake of letting Alexander rejoice a shitstorm after the defeat.

I feel genuinely sorry for him. He shouldn't have let Belarus suck up to him only to turn him down. He is way too sensitive to bear this personal defeat, he should have prepared himself for such a thing despite all the promises and liquorice they made to him. It's Belarus. They wouldn't have let him represent their country in 2009 neither, because he was a nobody. And actually, nobody wants to see Belarus win, it would be even more awkward than ESC in Azerbaijan. A country that officially shamed Conchita for winning, will not welcome the LGBT community on their own soil. I wonder how EBU can embrace the message of tolerance as well as an intolerant country like Belarus.

I was never the biggest Rybak fan but now he has my sympathies. He seemed so positive and excited about this project. "Time" sounds so incomplete, like a not finished product and the singer has very limited vocal abilities. But Amber or Daniel's voices are far from amazing either.
