14/02/12 BELARUS

The Belarussian Final was held on February 14th at the Sports Palace in Minsk, hosted by Denis Kurian & Leyla Ismailova. Before the final there was a semi-final consisting of 15 songs.

Alena Naskaya won the ticket to Baku with her rendition of te ballad “All My Life” The song seems to be a very typical rock ballad which many of the Eastern European countries might send (in fact it sounds like a slower version of “Eyes than never lie”)

Alena is backed a male and female dancer and three violinists who sway back and forward – good job I am not prone to sea sickness. She does not really do very much herself and the whole set up is a little distracting, including her oddly cut dress. Her voice is not bad but her pronunciation is awful I think it took me a good few listens to realises that she is singing the whole song in English and not just the choruses.

This won’t bother a soul on the night.
