Belarus BELARUS 2019 - ZENA - Like It

[mercachita]

The song is not my cup of tea. It's quite enjoyable because Zena is a good performer.

5 points from me.

Not bad at all, surprisingly boppy 8 points for now!

 

[LoveTw]

Yes I’m reading now comments on you tube on Belarus channel where almost only Belarus ppl comment..all are angry they didn’t allow televotng this year..and think this will not qualify again..
On another video where foreigners comment is totally opposite lol…

 

[Citelis]

Didn't expect to see that good reaction to this from the community! Maybe i'm wrong and it has some chances to qualify but i still don't like at all!

THE GOOD:
-Overall, this is a good, little pop song.
-She has the energy to match, too.

THE BAD:
-Nothing special really stands out for me.
-The sound is dated, too.

THE VERDICT:
Other than what I said above, I haven't much else to say. This is a good pop song, and that's it. It's up to the audience on whether they want a dated pop song to be in the Final. 8 points

They probably would have hated on any of the songs tbh. I don't blame them though for being annoyed by it.

I-

It's a mess. But I like it! 2 The instrumental more than her vocals tho :"D

Margaret found dead in a ditch, Belorussian sensation rising

Seems people don't mind it being a fix If they like the entry.

Automatic zero for the absolute disgrace that was this "national selection". I'd give the song a 4. Kind of catchy, decent vocals, but yet another anonymous up tempo number.

 

[vavera4ka]

Well I don't mind the song, it is rather catchy, a perfect song to open the first semi if you ask me. Will probably have it hard to qualify I believe, but you never know, the belarussians might find something up their sleeve.

or back... lol


​

Awww she seems down to earth actually..​

on the contrary she is way too full of herself. which is consistent with a girl of 16 who grew up on stage. at least she has SOME talent to back up the claim. but no. she's not down to earth. She is an obnoxious teenager. which. like I said, is normal. no shade to her. we've all been there lol

Apparently the Belarussians are totally hating on this big time. It has awful scoring on online Belarussian polls. Idk why they're so annoyed about it, it could have been far worse.

My fav was Michael, and I FLOVED Aura staging. goosebumps
but I knew from the get go that Zena has the biggest chance to qualify (however small it is). What I hate is the humiliating way the juries gave her the victory. The juror who gave 7 to Michael said that it was for pitch problems. Then he goes ahead and gives 10 to Zena who had more bum notes... They say Emanuel isn't Belarusian, so here's a 7. The guy lives and studies in Belarus. He's more Belarusian than last year's Alekseev. Then Sebastian gets a higher score for worse song. So is it the passport or skin color? Aura's gorgeous performance and for once almost flawless vocals get less than bland and pitchy performances of plastic ballads? Aura getting the same score as PROvokatsia is humiliating. As is Roos scoring higher than Michael.

I'm glad it's an uptempo song. We need more party moments this year. The bit where she quickly says "karma" in between the pre-chorus makes me laugh. Ah, I don't know what to think of it really at this point. I'll give it the default I'm not into this but it doesn't upset me 5 points for now, and I'll allow it the chance to grow on me.

Having said all that.... It's not Mariah Gregory though, therefor Belarus are already cancelled this year. I'll never forget.

 

[Mrm]

Fly Mariah, fly!!!

I didn't realize that till I read your post karma, but this is highkey iconic karma, Zena serving live adlibs am living

Oh my gosh karma stop karma you'll make me start liking it karma

Guess I'm gonna like it. Guess I'm gonna like it. 6 point upgrade. Let's take it at least above the mid for now.

 

[wtf]

This entry is very unusual for Belarus. So radio-friendly and cool. Kind of reminds me of Zara Larsson. She's a good singer too.

Excellent choice

We all know what a tiny karma word is here!

It is a sign Mariah Gregory approves this, small tiny, blessing sign she sends us while flying over Minsk..she is in that word, her soul, her heart..she is watching us!

Catchy and cool - points.

BOP..

 

[Clinty]

Not a huge standout or anything like that, but I like it enough. Maybe 7 for now

 

[Alaska49]

basically an inferior version of what malou prytz is doing in melfest but still very serviceable and not dead on arrival like belarus usually is. better than replay tbh lol. 6 points.

kinky boots still outsold tho.
