Eurovision History Chats

Here are the songs we’ll be discussing on Monday’s podcast:

BELARUS

Angelica Agurbash – Love Me Tonight

Polina Smolova – Mum

Ruslan Alenho – Hasta La Vista

Petr Elfimov – Eyes That Never Lie

3+2 featuring Robert Wells – Butterflies

Anastasiya Vinnikova – I Love Belarus
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svMK5iB2Gr0]

Bonus: Angelica Agurbash was originally going to represent Belarus in 2005 with Boys & Girls, a ballad dedicated to the victims of the Beslan tragedy. Love Me Tonight was chosen after Boys & Girls got a critical drubbing from overseas. Whether that is an improvement or not is a question for the ages. Apologies for the bad quality audio.
