Will it be Alexander Rybak as songwriter? I like the idea!

 

[hijirio]

Lukashenko FTW!
Minsk 2015 guaranteed!

 

[Charly]

Aleksander Lukashenko for Belarus
Silvio Berlusconi for Italy

seems right

 

[Quent91]

If Loukachenko really wants to win it, he better let Rybak write a song for his country

But whatever happens, the president will be involved in any way possible once again

I would love for an entry in Belarussian, but as long as paranoid Lukatjenko sees his own country's language as a "provocation" I'll doubt it'll happen

I liked the rumor the other year that singer Irina Dorofeeva was chosen with a Zeljko Joksimovic composition, but it seems like it was just a rumor afterall.

I mean although their 2011 entry is a cult classic by now , a better way to showing national pride would have obviously been to send a serious entry with some ethnic motives in native language language rather than a parody entry

Maybe 2014 they'll try once again to show off national pride to Europe, but doing it the "right way" this time around? Highly doubt it though

We'll probably get another NF with mostly awful entries in awful English accents with a pre-made winner that will change his/her/their entry in the last minute ... of course in English (although very broken)

This is worth repeating

EuroFest 2006: Polina Smolova enters the song "Sait odinochestva" in the semi-final, changes in the final to the new entry "Mama".
-> in ESC 2006: Polina Smolova - Mum (I think this is the same version as in the NF of Eurofest 2006, just the title is changed to more 'correct' English).

EuroFest 2007: Dimitry Koldun enters the song "Angel mechty" in semi-final, but changes to the whole new song "Work Your Magic" in the NF.

Internal selection 2011: Anastasia Vinnikova - Born in Byelorussia. This song changes lyrics and becomes "I Am Belarussian" however...

1 Belarus could actually be a good ESC country for me had it stuck to the bolded songs. These were good.

Irina Dorofeeva is awesome

Wow, you liked Boys and Girls? I think it must be one of the ugliest songs I've ever heard, I mean it's great for comical reasons (atleast it's not something one can be indifferent to)

"BOOOYS AND GUUUUUUUUUUUUUURLLLLLLLLLLS!!!!!!!!!!!"
