[AlekS]

The new song was called "Enjoy Yourself", is it true?

 

[Sean]

Fuck 'em, to be honest.

I hope to see a real representative for the GOOD people of Belarus next year.

Bring Kazakhstan in. I'm sure they could shit out a top 5 song in no time.

This 4 minutes masterpiece, SHUM is shaking from laughter:

 

[TimmyTAR]

VAL getting their revenge from beyond the veil ttyn Belarus!

 

[Gera11]

Bye Belashenko Come back in white-red-white

 

[crashworld]

To think we got from VAL to this joke. I wish VAL will get their chance to represent Belarus in the future. They deserve it.

 

[heke1988]

Goodbye Luka-, Luka-, Lukashenko!

I wonder what EBU flagged in this song, if it IS the 2nd attempt... there's a "maybe hint" at Tikhanouskaja (a brunette that left you and now others are doing to her what you used to do to her)... i THINK it's a stretch, but i wouldn't completely put it past them.
And there's a dig at western world at the end i guess. smth about kiss your dollars...
mostly it's just tasteless trash that everyone is rightfully expected from that.... "artist"

 

[Ana Raquel]

hopefully next year. under new flag. with a quality entry, after a good national selection that will truly show the best Belarus has to offer.
And the only hint at politics that will be on the stage would be the white color of the costumes - symbol of peaceful marches that made that entry possible.

hoping for the best for you

I have feeling yes..

 

[empo21]

I gotta laugh this is so hilarious.

The disrespect trying to submit another political song. Honestly hope they get banned until Belarus figures itself out.

This is a merciful end to this whole unfortunate affair. But I will say this: the EBU is not a perfect organization by any stretch, but if they were FIFA-bad or even IOC-bad, my guess is that they would have caved at the very start of this whole terrible ordeal.

Kinda sad really, i was unironically looking forward to seeing this performance, and how it would be received. That's actually two countries departing this year, bringing it down to 39 countries, the lowest since the 37 in 2014. Not so sure either of them will come back either, maybe we'll see even more departures next year.

 

[Elina UA]

We did it

 

[Mrm]

Yeah I agree with @Fluke, I see more countries leaving next year..

this song has been rejected?

I believe Armenia will be back once they manage to bounce back from their internal unrest. Because their withdrawal can be considered as not pre-meditated, unlike Belarus.

Who knows maybe EBU will start looking properly into Kazakhstan's interest in the main contest?

To be honest, you never know Belarus may decide to play by the book next year and not mix politics into the contest. Time will tell I guess.
