Re: BELARUS 2012

And where did I wrote I was happy with Sweden's decisions in this? Still though, Swedes produces some of the major worldwide hits each year and the accent is often good so in a sense it all comes down more naturally still.

It's true they don't sound like what's produced in English speaking nations, but didn't I write that it failed at its aim though?
The problem is... Never! :p You talk about how we choose English songs but you almost never (never?) say anything against MF and your own ESC entries. Not fair.

You wrote that they fail at most time, are you gonna deny your own words now?


When did I even mention you? Are you one of the contestants here? I don't understand how talking about Belarussian ESC entries became a topic about you? All non-English speakers have an accent, but I think if someone so desperately try to sing in English atleast it wouldn't sound so bad if the accent was ok atleast.

I don't judge people's accents, but then again I prefer to listen to songs in native language than with heavy broken English. I don't really see the point in sining in English if it's barely understandable.
"Boring with all this English in Eurovision, and even worse with broken English. "
I speak with an accent, I sing with an accent, I write songs in English. Why is there a need to be a contestant? If you dislike broken English - it's not about ESC -> it's about any potential and not potential performer/person. Including me. I can submit a song to our NF any time :eek:
If you don't understand me - ok, but if I have broken English and you can undesrtand me? ;)

This topic is not about Sweden right?

I'm not denying anything?

This topic is not about you either.

I also have an accent, like I said all non-English speakers have an accent, but this is about a professional contest with a choice in what language to sing. This IS about ESC, if you want to make this discussion personal then it's certainly not the right topic.

What about me talking about Eastern (Belarusian too) listeners choosing songs in English and comparing it to other countries? :)
I'm just discussing your own words said on this subject.

Exactly! If they want it to be English, let it be English.
To me it doesn't matter at all.

If I want I'll give my English songs to any performer I want. Belarusian as well. If Belarusians perform it with accent or without accent - I don't think that it's important that much.

Re: BELARUS 2012

It seems that Gyunesh was the jury's fave among with Thriller and Lanskaya.


(1. Gyunesh
2. Litesound
3. Nuteki
4. The Champions
5. Yuzari (backing vocalist in 2011)
6. Alexandra Gaiduk & Natalia Baldina
7. Alyona Lanskaya
8. Anna Blagova
9. Victoria Aleshko
10. German
11. Anastasiya Vinnikova)

Gyunesh has a song from the Azeri composer/producer Isa Melikov (the man who produced Nigyar @ ESC 2011). Quite boring ballad but still this is her best entry, imo. I'm more into Litesound.
I think that Lanskaya can be chosen by the jury but televoters will choose Gyunesh.

Re: BELARUS 2012

Singers are ok but songs are awful and that is way I believe that almost all finalist will be asked in a way from BTRC to change their songs for the final...

Re: BELARUS 2012

If Gyunesh wins most def they won't change the song :) They won't b*tch with producer/composer who brought Azerbaijan their victory.
Others.... most def they will change their songs.
imo, Gyunesh has already won. Even Lanskaya won't compete with such authors and sponsors.

oh, and the lyrics was written by the Music coordinator of ESC 2012.
No comments )))

Sorry but I am totally confused...
1) Who has the sponsors ? Gyunesh or Lanskaya? Because till now you were saying that Lanskaya has a connection with the main sponsors of Eurofest
2) Authors of Azerbaijan song were from Sweden not Azerbaijan so which is the connection with Gyunesh?

If Gyunesh wins with this song I don't believe she will have any luck in eurovsion

1) Both. Considering people behind each song I guess it's not about money anymore.
2) Who cares about Swedish authors?! I'm talking about their producer. Without him they wouldn't be chosen at all! And they wouldn't received that song.
+ Gyunesh lyrics was written by the Music coordinator of ESC 2012. They won't b-tch with the hosts. Simple as that.

1) Azerbaijan entry was produced by an Ukrainian company.
2) At your first post you said "They won't b*tch with producer/composer who brought Azerbaijan their victory." Now that I told you that authors were from Sweden you say "Who cares about Swedish authors" you must decide...

1) Azerbaijani entry had their native producer as well.
2) You? Because without their native producer Isa Melikov they wouldn't have won. Is Melikov Swedish?

Is Melihov a composer? You are the one that said "They won't b*tch with producer/COMPOSER who brought Azerbaijan their victory"

Yes :) he composes for Azeri singers (and Nigyar of course). He wrote a song for Juliana Pasha backing vocalist etc. I didn't mean composer of the Azeri entry, I meant composer in general.

In order to win @ ESC Gyunesh needs a better song than her NF entry, imo.

My opinion is that you overestimate the producer of an unknown Azeri singer. Because that is what Nigyar was before eurovision. I mean it is not that he has power because he produced an unknown singer in Azerbaijan that won the selection , her promo and image was taken over by an Ukrainian company and then she won eurovision in a duet.
That does not give to the producer the power of a man that "no one would like to b*tch with"

Actually it is :) If he didn't allow her to participate we wouldn't received "Running Scared".

It does, if he supplied the host broadcaster with Nigyar and Aysel (2 best Azeri results).
+ rejecting the Music coordinator of ESC 2012 is not a smart decision.

I'm not sure on 100% but I'm pessimistic xshrug
Btw, I predicted Mika's victory after the 1st Heat... I was hoping for Zlata (just like I'm hoping for Litesound now lol) but Mika won.

The head of Eurofest even admitted that Gyunesh abolished the rules and used pre-recorded backing vocals... they allowed her still: "... without any doubts" :rolleyes: :twisted:
Of course she will change that playback but the attitude speaks for itself.

Re: BELARUS 2012

İsa Melikov is a well-known producer and composer of Azerbaijan...So I won't be suprised if Gunesh will sing his song...But I'm not sure she will have any success...The only advantange of her - is her Azerbaijani origin

Re: BELARUS 2012

All the songs are really bad, Belarus is the shame of Europe, it's still a dictatorship, they shouldn't be allowed to participate !
