I didn't comment about this one because I was watching Beovizija and ended up sleeping on the sofa oops nn
In normal conditions, I would give this a 7, but since, thanks to them, the ULTIMATE EVIL was defeated, I'll overscore a bit.
from me.
Also, I'll post something positive and negative about it.
P - I didn't really care about it on auditions but I found it more enjoyable on the final. It's a sign it's a grower.
N - Sis obviously stans Samanta so much she showed up she's still breathing by breathing every single time on the mic
sis needs to work on that IMMEDIATELY.
At this moment, borderline qualifier at best.

You wrote the same thing about the song Ukraine. I have not read all the comments, however, I don’t seem to have seen hateful comments. The Belarusian song, in my personal opinion, is catchy but it's nothing special. Germany, the Czech Republic, Armenia and to a lesser extent Lithuania, Latvia and Ukraine have done much better.Love this

I watched the 'live' performance of the winning song. I thought it's not bad. It's pretty contemporary for Belarus' standards. The girl can sing. The dance choreography is simple yet effective. I give this a 6. I think it does require a revamp. I need to listen to the studio version.
I just watched the performances for the favourites (ie. Chakras and Keysi). God, I am glad they aren't selected.
The former is just basically a wailing affair (visually on point, but how would you consider that as a song?).
The latter, while an energetic performance, but I don't know what she is singing despite singing in English and it's borderline dated eurotrash that is done like in the early 2000s and we are pretty much pass that.
As for the jury winner, it's not bad. But his English diction is pretty bad even though he's cute. I still prefer Val.
Val's song may not be catchy, but I think the overall package is pretty sleek and modern. And they got 2nd in both the jury and televotes. So I wouldn't say it's a bad winner. If they are able to improve the staging and perhaps with a good revamp, they could potentially do well. I wouldn't write off their chances.

I don't have the show to watch back to confirm, but it was two of the three foreign judges that gave CHAKRAS top points, and one of them was grilled in what I felt like was quite an uncomfortable way. The guy with the glasses. He gave VAL's song 1 point, and then followed five minutes of back and forth between the host and jury member that I couldn't entirely make out because of the translator talking over the top of them, but the host seemed irritated. That and the fact VAL's song was playing on an advert during every commercial break. Feels quite classic Belarus

Found Val's song on Spotify. I actually like the studio form, a revamp could help elevate the song. And surprisingly, it is currently in my top 3 entries for this year so far.

Hmmm.. not sure what to think of this. It's great to have another non-english song! And another up-beat entry.
Not very keen on stage show, including the choreography and the voice. I have just heard it once so far - my first impression wasn't too good. But with a little work this might not be so bad after all.

I give this song . It´s great they´re singing in Belarusian, but otherwise I feel very bored by this song. And two minutes after the end the only thing I can still remember is this strange choreography with their arms that reminds me of this awkward entertaining progams in holiday resorts in Southern Europe .

So, I gave it a long quality sleep and 3 attentive replays.

Good that they are not translating. Blindly read that at first as that they were and wrote an accidental shade post. Props for keeping it in native tongue x

THE GOOD:
-I like the R&B sound that this has overall.
-It's somewhat memorable.
THE BAD:
-It gets a bit boring in parts.
-If they were going for a danceable beat, it's not quite there for me.
THE VERDICT:
I like this new direction that Belarus has taken with this entry. Is it memorable like NAVIBAND's entry in 2017? No, but it is a pretty good song on its own. With the right staging, this entry could sneak into the Final. 8 points
