Belarus BELARUS 2015 - Uzari & Maimuna - Time

[Sean]

wailing Disney ballads (in English) that have no soul

Welcome back A-lister

 

[Leydan]

We've missed it. I'm going to quickly go over to the Albanian thread to see what he said there.

edit: he hasn't said anything yet.

 

[QwaarJet]

Fair enough, could be interpreted that way though being a direct response to my opinion... sorry for the misunderstanding though...

Beg to differ nonetheless... what's hurting ESC are wailing Disney ballads (in English) that have no soul, connection to the contest or Europe in general and are just utter bore... atleast entries like these are fun (regardless of the "quality") and imo is part of makes Eurovision... well fun and different ;9

If by "Disney Ballad" you refer to Elhaida Dani, then I agree. I, however don't agree that something needs to be "fun" and "different". I tend to prefer the more serious entries and ones that have a bit of quality and depth to them. I think this song has more depth than Milki's. It's not particularly original, but "Accent" was in no way original either. In fact, most songs today aren't original. I can appreciate certain trashy entries though, if they are catchy enough. I like all all types of ESC music if they are good enough.

Certainly Milki isn't original, and I do agree that is not "quality" in the sense of serious, but it has that eurodance + local flavor + native language touch that makes ESC what it is imo (not saying all of ESC has to be like that, point being ESC is turning boring if we will have nothing like this anymore).

Atleast we agree on the Disney aspect

Forgot to rate this... This is bad... His voice is so annoying + Maimuna fails to save the song. 3 points.

With a revamp this could turn into a decent song but that's about it. More emphasis needs to be put on the violin part, right now it's really drowning way too much. I can't get behind this entry but I don't utterly despise it so that's something, isn't it?!?

It's interesting - almost every opinion I've seen on the song includes either 'the violin is pointless, they should get rid of it' or 'it doesn't get enough focus, make it more prominent'. I certainly agree with you on this one, though... it's by far the most unique part of the song, and while I already feel the song is decent, it could really end up as something special if they revamp it and add more violin parts.

Nah, something's not right with this (and no, it's not the violin. In fact that's a good one) The voices don't go with the melody. The most interesting part is the chorus, and even that fails in combination. I need an instrumental version of the chorus.... (Don't send it XD)

It stays in the semifinal I think...

 

[lavieenrose]

I gave this another listen today; it's better than I thought it was (and I already liked it).

 

[Matt]

I wasn't paying close attention to the NF so I only found out today that the NF is just as silly as the Maltese one. There are five juries who vote for their favorites while the televote is basically the sixth jury member so their say has less than a 20% say. Granted, we all know that Belarus isn't known for transparency or accuracy for that matter but it's such a big waste of time. They didn't do that last year, sigh.

First impression : 0 points

 

[RomanFromRussia]

I think this song should be improved (or even changed like Belarus did before 2014). Not bad, but something is missing. 5/10

 

[Odalis]

They said they recorded 5 different versions including a country version, i'd wanna hear that

 

[Mrm]

It's growing on me, I quite like it now..

 

[Odalis]

[AdriaPuigdemont]

7 Points :3 It's great

 

[greece]

It's again that time of the year that I change my flag into the country that has my fave song~


Though I don't think this will stay my fave for the whole year

 

[Iuris]

A country version? Oh.

The song has potential, it's clear it needs arrangements... I like the first part of the song, but the end has no sense.

 

[realist]

So far it is one of my favs. Last year when everyone hated Teo, I knew that he had chances for final. This year I got the same feeling

 

[FoxOfShadows]

This is still my favourite. For once Belarus send a good, reliable song

 

[megzypegzy999]

My favourite so far the only song of the 10 that sticks in my head.
