Eurovision 2014: Belarus

Mar 22, 2014 10:44

Belarus has had a history of just making up the numbers in Eurovision. They are basically there to ensure Russia gets 12 points and they have kept up this end of the bargain in 7 of the 10 Eurovisions they have been in, which is the same amount of Eurovisions that Belarus has not qualified for the final in. I mean how could 'We are the Heroes' not qualify.

Artist: Teo
Song: Cheesecake

This song does certainly have the emphasis on cheese, but I like it. if it was sung by someone who could speak English better it would awesome. I want this to qualify for the final so we have an excuse to eat cheesecake while watching the Eurovision final at 4am (fluidsparkles, we should probably make the cheesecake while we are sober)

'Google maps' has been change to 'All the Maps' to comply with Eurovision rules. This song (other than trying to sing in English) doesn't appear that hard for Teo live so it wont be a carcrash, unless Teo falls over trying to do his tango moves. This song though is proof of something all student will tell you, the best work is done at the last minute. As a songwriter Teo already had two songs (sung by other artists) in the Belorussian national final. With an hour and a half to go before submissions closed he decided to enter himself with this. That doesn't show at all, does it.

This song is in the smaller semi where only 5 songs wont qualify, so despite this song being almost universally panned by fans, it should get in to the final. I want Justin Timberlake or someone to cover this though. It is fun and that's seriously what Eurovision is about, fun and getting drunk.

Though this song has a serious theme about wanting to be respected, it does come off a little tongue-in-cheek, which doesn't often come off well at Eurovison. Just ask Iceland from 2006
