Milaya, My time and Bank

[UPD] Three songs qualified for the Belarussian final

Belarussian national contest Musical Court is already in full swing and three entries have won a spot in the final: Milaya, My time and Bank, chosen by the public.

Belarussian selection for Eurovision 2010 has already three songs qualified for the final. They are (click on them to listen):

UPDATE. The song Bank has been chosen by the public via SMS voting.

This year's Belarussian selection method consists of 5 semifinals, each of them featuring 5 songs. A jury will evaluate the entries and will pick one of them in each semifinal to proceed to the final. The viewers will have a say about the other 4 songs by sending in a SMS to vote for their favourite entries. The one getting the biggest support from the public will proceed to the final as well. Therefore, the Belarussian final for Eurovision 2010 will feature 10 songs, 5 selected by the jury and 5 by the audience.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The organisers of this contest have recently stated that Musical Court is "not necessarily" the national selection for Eurovision 2010. The show, they add, is intended "to choose songs to represent the country in any international competitions".

Vladimir - The names on the Belarussian TV website are the names of the composers, not the names of the singers. Videos of the first two semi-finals are on the "Musical Court" website here:

The hostess of the show gives the names of the singers before the performance starts, but as I don't understand Russian...

"Bank" from heat a has also made it to the final thanks to the televoters' vote.
"Don't play in love" from heat b is leading in the voting right now.

I have to admit that I'm confused. I have just tried to find Valery Golovko on Google and I discovered it's a composer - a man. Who is performing the song then?

@ Marky
Where is our "Lift your heart"!!?? :( :@

I like "My time" after listening to it again and I think it has chances to do well if it's performed properly. "Milaya" is so-so, I find boring this kind of music.

both songs are dreary

I agree with Mark - both are nice songs, but too weak in ESC. Hopefully there will be better. "My Time" is the best of all Belarusian songs so far so I am glad that made it at least.


"Lift Your Heart" is better than both songs in my opinion but Good Luck to Belarus once again ;) (L)

Milaya was my favourite song out of the 10 already known, I'm glad it qualified :D

Good :D At least the awful songs didn't make it, they are nice songs, but not strong enough for ESC. I hope Lift Your Heart gets' picked by the public from SF2, and the least horrible one from SF1 :D

These are two of the better songs but none of them are very good.

"My Time" is one step closer to the final :D I'm loving that song

EEEEWW I just had the horrible thought of It's My Time (UK 2009) being sung in that dreadful Belorussian-English accent!!!

So they have started with live-broadcasted semifinals? where can I watch? :)

I think they're the best two out of the 10 songs.

Didn't really like Milaya at first but listening to it again I think it's nice and it's sung in Russian and I like his voice. And My Time is quite good too. A really nice song. I like these two songs actually.
