Milki – My accent

 

Girl group Milki – which derives from the Belarusian word “milka”, meaning “cutie”/”honey” – came together following a talent search conducted by Alexander Rybak, who, with Fairytale, famously won the Eurovision Song Contest for Norway in 2009.  My accent, performed in both Belarusian and English, is said to be a cheerful song about the Belarusian accent.  The song has been recorded but will not be heard until Eurofest.


I have been a Eurovision fan since childhood - I remember being so fascinated by the scoreboard! I loved the different flags and languages. My favourite national final is Eesti Laul, though I enjoy watching every one! Eurovision has given me so much in my life and it is a pleasure to write about my favourite contest for ESC Today.
