2010 has been a weird year for preselections and odd decisions by the national broadcasters, the Belarus is next in line to change their entry. A week ago it was already announced "Far away" would possibly not the final entry, but today it was confirmed by Naviny.by that the entry has indeed changed. Instead of poprock we'll see a ballad from Belarus, another one in line of a lot of other ballads this year.
The first presentation of the stage was found on Eurosong.hr. The stage sketch is pictured above, and more details became known about further presentation. The postcards preceeding the songs will feature the idea of the very first postcards in 1970. The postcards are to be recorded in capital cities together with the participating artist of the country. The 2nd part of the postcard will feature a typical looking family home representing the nation, and will be in a mobile phone sort of fashion to represent the slogan of the contest. "Share the moment" will be translated into the various national languages.

People talking about 'eurovision':
3minutes.me is an international bunch of people, obviously Eurovision fans, who want to share their passion with other fans. To some people, Eurovision is a yearly event, to other it's a way of life. 3minutes.me wants to be there for both groups. And we want both groups to become part of 3minutes too. Share your thoughts with us in our blog section. Give your opinion on everything you want that has something to do with the Eurovision Song Contest. Or become a part of the crew, if you feel you have things to contribute. We are open for any proposals (well, many, anyway). 3minutes.me wants to cooperate with everyone else that shares our passion. Contact us, if you want your eurovision website to be connected to ours. We can discuss details from that point.
