Belarus 2012: Alena Lanskaya wins Eurofest

For a split second, I was about to write a headline like "Alena Lanskaya to represent Belarus" before remembering that this is, after all, Belarus - the country where bending the rules as we go along is more rule than exception.

More than once have we had a change of entry, sometimes even more than one change per year.

So what we know is that Alena Lanskaya won the televised final of Eurofest with a rather insignificant ballad named "All My Life".

My guess is that if anything gets replaced this time around, it will be the song that just keeps going and going without ever reaching any climax, chorus or anything else to write home about. Dull rather than bad, but it has "non-qualifyer" written all over it.

  1. The bad sound quality of this youtube video may be the reason why this song sounds so insignificant. But if one listens to this carefully, and hopefully we'll get to hear a good recording of this song soon, one can hear a rather good arrangement that grows towards the end, and the Alena has a good strong voice. And there IS a chorus there.
