The participation of Belarusian artists in the Eurovision contest should be continued - V. Karachevsky

May 25, Polotsk / Diana Kurilo - BELTA /. The participation of Belarusian artists in the Eurovision contest should be continued. This point of view was expressed in a conversation with a BELTA correspondent by the First Deputy Minister of Culture of Belarus, Vladimir Karachevsky, commenting on the performance of the group Litesound in the semi-final of the contest. In his opinion, the Eurovision contest is one of the most subjective. Here, the assessment of a performance does not always depend on the quality of execution or vocal abilities. "This is one of the most unpredictable contests," Vladimir Karachevsky is convinced. Assessing Litesound's performance, the interlocutor, a professional musician himself, noted: "They did everything they could, they did not get confused, the performance went smoothly, without glitches. They did what they could." The issue of possible changes in the format of the qualifying round for Eurovision requires discussion, but participation in this contest should continue, Vladimir Karachevsky is convinced. "In any case, we will not give up. We need to try. Let young artists try themselves. It is enough to recall the experience of Russia, which for many years was not perceived by the Eurovision contest. However, they found a gimmick, and success came. We also need to learn, we need to break into new platforms, to declare ourselves as a country where there are many talented people who deserve respect," Vladimir Karachevsky believes. The group Litesound did not reach the final of the Eurovision-2012 international song contest, which is being held in Baku (Azerbaijan). -0-
