Best Belarusian ESC entry

[Kryptonite]

I like "Work your magic" the best

 

[A-lister]

As a song I prefer 2005 (but she slaughtered it live), the same goes for 2004 which I also like as a song.

2011 is a sort of guilty pleasure.

Koldun is overrated as h*ll but DECENT.

The rest were just awful.

 

[bubblingtrue]

Definately 'Work Your Magic'

 

[DeepInsidePaulOscar]

Love Me Tonight could've gone far if it had been given to someone with a good voice. I really really like the song,and the presentation was good,but oh lord that voice. She 'sings' and I just laugh.

I'm still fond of Galileo,but remember being disappointed on the big night when the live version sounded weak.

 

[Stargazer]

2004 (My Galileo) is still my favorite Belarusian entry. 2011 was good too (despite the lyrics), but the rest have been very bland in my opinion.

>you are now aware this thread is not a poll

 

[ESCjunkie]

Oh, that is not an easy question. Either Work your magic or I love Belarus I would say.

I second that!

Undoubtedly 2007's Work your magic

And done!

 

[CypriotGirl]

2007, but I'm not even a fan of it!

2004 was ok, 2010 too. But average...

 

[AdelAdel]

I only like 2011, and it's in probably in my top 10-15 of that year.
2004, 2005 were simply 'okay'
2010 was bearable
The rest was awful.

I never realized how many awful songs Belarus has sent to ESC until seeing them listed.
