For once, Belarus seems to be doing something right...

Russia's Eurovision song - Nobody Hurt No One, by Natalia Podolskaya - is hurting some people's feelings:

Hello sweet America, where did our dream disappear?
Look at little Erica, all she learns today is the fear
You deny the truth, you're just having fun
'Til your child will shoot your gun

Nobody hurt no one
Nobody hurt no one (anybody)
Nobody hurt no one
Nobody hurt no one (e-e-e-e)

She didn’t wanna go to school, didn’t wanna face all this pain
Mammy, can I stay at home, I am scared the boys are insane
Don’t you dare to say, her reaction’s dumb
Cause she had no place to run.

[...]

You deny the truth, you're just having fun
'Til your child will shoot your gun
Don’t you dare to say, her reaction’s dump
Cause she had no place to run.


Ukraine's entry by Greenjolly is nostalgic - and is sure to make some people quite allergic:

WE WON’T STAND THIS – NO! REVOLUTION IS ON!
'CAUSE LIES BE THE WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION!
ALL TOGETHER WE’RE ONE! ALL TOGETHER WE’RE STRONG!
GOD BE MY WITNESS WE’VE WAITED TOO LONG!

[...]

WHAT YOU WANNA SAY TO YOUR DAUGHTERS AND SONS?
YOU KNOW THE BATTLE IS NOT OVER TILL THE BATTLE IS WON!
TRUTH BE THE WEAPON! WE AIN’T SCARED OF THE GUNS!
WE STAY UNDEFEATED, 'CAUSE TOGETHER WE’RE ONE!

[...]


But Belarus' song fits the Eurovision format perfectly - here's Love Me Tonight, by Angelica Agurbash:

I WISH YOU COULD BE NEAR ME
I SEEK YOUR EYES TO THRILL ME
SO TAKE YOUR CHANCE AND FEEL ME
I AM READY NOW!

[...]

I DREAM OF YOU BY MY SIDE
MOVE CLOSER BABY
YOU’VE GOT A PLACE IN MY MIND
I’M WITH YOU BABY
DO IT TO ME ONE MORE TIME
I’M WAITING BABY
GIVE ME THE TIME OF MY LIFE!!!

[...]

LOVE ME TONIGHT
AND I’LL LOVE YOU FOREVER
IT’S NO SIN, IT’S NO CRIME
THAT I WANT YOU MINE
LOVE ME TONIGHT
I NEED YOU MORE THAN EVER
YOU CAN MAKE ME FEEL RIGHT
JUST LOVE ME TONIGHT

I’VE GOT NO HESITATION
IT’S MY INFATUATION
YOUR TOUCH IS AN OBSESSION
I’M ADDICTED NOW

[...]

LOVE YOU FOREVER
AND WE’LL BE TOGETHER
SO JUST STAY WITH ME FOR THE NIGHT
LOVE ME TONIGHT
