Anastasiya Vinnikova – I Love Belarus

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.
