Third song is 
the best one is 5th song, but I don't like none of them!!!! 
The second one sings like Dima Bilan!!!
First song!!! 
Hahahahahahhahaahahahah, it is one of the biggest rubishes I heard for a long time!!!
And that English accent, my parents have better English accents while singing in English!! 
Oh my
my ears have started bleeding listenig to that screamo song, XD
Hopefully the public select 5 more,
'Work your Magic'
Type of songs
I hope the next bunch of songs will be better than this lot. 'The Youth' isn't too bad, but a little lame.
A very underrated country in Eurovision. Such a shame. I loooooved 'Eyes that Never Lie' Such an AWESOME song!!
Best of Luck to Belarus!!
@Thomas XXX
It can be changed by someone brave enough to enter with a good song, do well and make people interested again.. oooor you could withdraw and never win of course.
@Layla:
Not in my opinion. I'm just dissapointed. I really like the contest but what TVP does is sad. And then people think here "Eurovision is sh*t, circus" etc. Noone (artists) will treat Eurovision seriously if TVP still will changing the rules in last day.
@Thomas XXX
But PIN has a good song
@Layla:
Well I think we should withdraw anyways. PIN will win for sure, cause they're the most famous contestant from those 4 names. Thats how Polish people vote. Not for the song, but for the most popular band or singer.
It would be better to leave the contest. TVP (national broadcaster) doesnt treat this contest seriously. We will never have a good song. TVP is full of connections etc.
Good luck Belarus, but I think that you need KolduN again
Hmm nothing special among those 5 songs. Let's hope there's something better in the next heats.
@Thomas XXX
Baaaaad idea. It's better to have Poland in the competition even if you suck than not have you there at all - that would be too sad. Thanks for the link.
My rating of these four Polish songs so far;
1. PIN: The song is actually NICE and has a more contemporary sound to it and the English is acceptable too. Now the ONLY problem is that that opera singerdon't fit in!!!!! He sort of makes it sound silly/unserious.
2. Aneta Figiel: This is also not a bad song and I liked it better than PIN at first listen, but PIN grows more. This song gets a big plus for being in Polish and mid-tempo.
3. Anna Cyzon: This sucks, she'strying too hard to achieve that typical modern "urban" pop sound (which sucks). Her English is good, but the song is too repetitive.
4. Dziewczyny: Everything about this song is terrible.
So dear Polish people, do not fall for Anna Cyzon because you love R&B or something - PIN is the way to go, lol. 
@Joao loves Yohanna
Thankssssss
My ranking:
1. Ivan: Well, a plus for singing in their own language at least and it's not a boring pop song, but it's not a very good song either and her voice is annoying when she's screeching.
2. Oleg: Terrible song, catchy music, but the worst part is the ENGLISH!!! If your English suck like this then please sing in your own language! And the lyrics are dumb.
3. Anton: Very cliché melody that I feel I have heard somewhere before... The song would have been OK if his voice wasn't so bad and the English wasn't so awful. Come on.. he sings "let's be togeZer".
4. Blagum: What a shame this guy sings in English because this kind of melody is easy for me to like, but he screws it up with his voice and TERRRRRIBLE English... Wrong singer for the job.
5. Zheldakov: And typically they chose the worst song (but best singer). It is a completely boring and forgettable song with no melody. After I stopped it I could honestly not remember how it went... But a plus for not singing in English, so I'm OK with it I suppose.
"I don't care" sounds like it's sound by a man and the name of the performer is Olega Zajceva.Perhaps it's Oleg Zajcev? For me only two songs are acceptable, but not great: "Nobody but you" and "Milaya".
@Marko
You're welcome
Anyways. In my opinion we should withdraw from Eurovision. Not a chance to even pass the semi. Pity. Our broadcaster is just ridiculous.
@ ThomasXXX
OMG, OMG, OMG, PIN's song ios AMAZING!!! You must choose PIN for Oslo! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
Thank you for the link!! 
Im glad there is still 20 more songs
I must agree 
Well I do think ONT are evil for pressing this "music" onto it's viewers I must admit
AH !! I've had to have calpal, as I have had an earache, I blame Belarus !! I also blame Bulgaria, for not allowing us to climatise to the lameness of NF's, they normally prepare us... but this is like a shock to the system. Now I need Calpal support... Do they do Calpal Rehab ?
Marky
I may be wrong but I think Zohar's joke may have dawned on me. Do you remember Lena Philipsson's song before it was translated? Det gör ont Try a google translation of the last word
Thanks for the links Joao
Milaja has about the best first 30 seconds of this lot IMO, but that really isn't saying very much. 
I could only bear a few seconds of the rest, they were so, so appalling. Let's just hope that none of these will go on to represent the country. National finals from Belarus are never exactly the highlight of the Eurovision calendar anyway, but who knows a little gem might turn up yet... well probably not... but we can hope
The Youth and Milaya can be the bests among these five but they're all bad !
Are ONT a member of the EBU yet ? or is it the original channel who will be in charge of this year for Belarus ? ?
@ joao loves yohanna
Thanks for the links!
'milaya' - Blah, not good
I don't care - pretty bad, laughable
the youth - I sense a bit of a copy here. Perhaps the best out of the lot
nobody but you - pretty nice, ok-ish.
bank - Oh no! I hate screaming songs. I hate it
Overall. Pretty bad so far. But I'll have to wait to hear the others.
terribleterribleterrible. Where did those come from??? The last century? Hell?
