Junior Eurovision 2009 - another one to watch: Belarus


Belarus may not have had much success in the adult Eurovision, but they've won the Junior Contest twice: in 2005 and 2007.

This year their song is quite a strange affair. Backed by 4 young chaps, it's sung by Yury Demidovich, and is a mix of opera, hard rock and lots of talking. It's called Volshebnyi Krolik which we think translates as Magic Rabbit.

Most people seem to think it's a poor song, but there's no denying the performance is certainly intriguing and Yury looks calm and comfortable. Will it be a 3rd victory for Belarus - probably not, but it may come close.

Watch the first rehearsal here:
