song

Please, please, please - nobody dare let Aleksandra (one half of the Aleksandra & Konstantin duo representing Belarus at the next Eurovision Song Contest) get a language coach between now and the qualifying round.

Her English pronunciation is extraordinary and indescribable: at first it makes you think it's Belarusian (aka White Russian), then you go "well, isn't it amazing how some of the words are surprisingly similar to English?" until you realise she's been merrily slaying the Bard's language all along.

The fact that some of the lyrics must definitely have been lost in translation makes it all the exotic and mysterious:

I'm not a stay-at-home, and heady
Is the quest and venture mode
Road is there for me to tread it
All-dimensional road

My Galileo sounds so refreshingly innocent that it makes my day and never fails putting a spring in my step whenever I listen to it. My own personal winner.
