Uzari & Maimuna - Time
The best thing about this song is the elf ears that Uzari is wearing in the clip. It is not that the song is massively bad, I just like elf ears.
This is another country where the section practices are questionable. Why bother having a popular vote when all it amounts to is an 8th member of the jury? Why, because the Belarussian people cannot vote. The song the public voted #1 was a novelty entry and the song that was #2 with the public and the favourite to win was so dire that every Junior Eurovision entry ever was better than it. I almost cried listening to these
In the national selection the song that came second over-all (including the other jury 7 members) was the level of engrish that I expect from Belarus, so it seems that the right song is being sent to Eurovision. Sure, Uzari is a backing vocalist from a previous Eurovision entry, but this song is probably the best choice out of what Belarus had.
The bookies don’t rate this song but the bookies do often get it wrong. In 2005 Belarus was rated top three by the bookmakers and failed to qualify for the final. It appears wanted to love them that night...
