My Galileo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
My Galileo was the first entry by Belarus in the Eurovision Song Contest, performed at the 2004 Contest in English by Aleksandra and Konstantin. As this was Belarus' debut entry, it was performed in the semi-final of that Contest.
The song was performed second on the night (following Finland's Jari Sillanpää with Takes 2 To Tango and preceding Switzerland's Piero Esteriore & The MusicStars with Celebrate!). At the close of voting, it could only muster 10 points, which were enough for 19th place - thus forcing Belarus to qualify through the semi-final at the next Contest.
The song is inspired somewhat by American country music and likens the singer's lover to Galileo. Many of the lyrics were difficult to understand in the live performance, as Aleksandra's accent was very thick.
The song was succeeded as Belarusian representative in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 by Angelica Agurbash singing Love Me Tonight.
