5th: Petr Elfimov - Eyes That Never Lie (74pts)
More cock rock, although some which at least had the decency to really ramp up the drama. I always remembered this for being Scott Mills' oddly dark horse pick as one of his favourites from its semi in 2009 given how absurdly stacked a year it was, and since then it seems to have gone down as almost something of a fan favourite, getting the Eurovision Again nod for Belarus for the non-qualifiers contest in 2020 - astonishing given the sheer pedigree it was up against in Belarus's other non-qualifiers.
Anyway, Europe was much less impressed, with this going out 13th in its semi with a meagre 25 points. Someone pull up his Instagram - I'm terrified to find out what he looks like now, but feel like I'm likely all the poorer for not knowing.
