I’m really struggling for content on this one, to be honest. Umami and Izolda (checks match programme) Uzari and Maimuna are alone on stage and really seem to have decided that their staging unique selling point is… themselves. He looks like George Michael 20 years ago, she looks like every female violinist in the entire world, and the whole affair is awash with “which one was that again?”.
An Australian juror in the Sydney Morning Herald a couple of weeks ago hoped aloud that the winner won’t be something that’s only partly interesting, or similar phrasing. It remains to be seen whether Belarus has the right core support to get the Belarussian result in the semi followed by the Belarussian result in the final, because it really is only partly interesting. It might well get forgotten in the melee.
