Preparations for Junior Eurovision 2015 are in full swing. Countries from Slovenia to the Netherlands are preparing for their national final, while TV execs elsewhere are finalising the details of who will sing for them in Sofia. Thus far four countries have given us both the singer and the song.
Albania picked their act earlier this May, while Belarus and Ukraine waited until late August to stage their selections. On Friday it was Russia’s turn, which resulted in Mikhail Smirnov being chosen with the dreamy ballad “Mechta”.
It’s far too early to determine the fan favourite, but who of the four stands the best chance so far? Mishela Rapo’s “Dambaje” is reggae-inspired, but still serves some Disney realness. Ruslan Aslanov knows how to work magic on stage. Our latest poll winner, Anna Trincher, combines angelic staging and rock-esque vocals perfectly. And Misha Smirnov — the newbie to the group — celebrates music and love with “Mechta”.
Below you can listen to all of the acts chosen so far. Then vote for your favourite(s) in the poll. You can vote for as many acts as you’d like, but you can vote only ONE TIME, so make it count. The poll closes October 3 at midnight.
ALBANIA: MISHELA RAPO with “DAMBAJE”
BELARUS: RUSLAN ASLANOV with “VOLSHEBSTVO”
RUSSIA: MIKHAIL SMIRNOV with “MECHTA”
UKRAINE: ANNA TRINCHER with “POCHNY Z SEBE”

Whaaat???
The poll is 100% rigged of course..
Russia’s song was last & now surprisingly has gathered tones of fake votes & has even huge margin of 160 votes from the 2nd ! Give me a break..! Of course this result is not valid!
The right fair place 4 Russia considering the reliable outcome of the voting {before it gets ruined from these fake votes} would be the 4th last one..
Russia will go down! 0 pints for the little commy! Hope he gets a hiccup at the stage cause everything that comes from the Putin country must go to hell!
The Ukrainian singer a good perfomance, but Russian singer has a very good vocal! My favourite is Misha. Good luck, Misha!
I just don’t get why they don’t sing kids’ songs. Apart fron the Albanian song every other song so far could be easily sung at the adults’ Eurovision.
Too early to make much of an opinion on these but here are my top at least right now. None of them made me want to keep replaying over and over…at least for now! 🙂
1) Ukraine
2) Belarus
3) Russia
4) Albania
Russia <3
1. Ukraine
2. Albania
3. Belarus
4. Russia
Belarus 2/10
Ukraine 1/10
Russia 0/10
Albania 0/10
1. Ukraine – 7.5/10
2. Russia – 7/10
3. Albania – 4/10
4. Belarus – 2/10
Just heard all of them one time, here’s my ranking:
1. Ukraine 7.7/10: Nice but a bit abrupt at times, it won me when the English chorus kicked in.
2. Belarus: 7.4/10: Nice ballad, big voice and an excellent presentation, he’s ready for the contest, it’s just a bit over the top at times.
3. Russia: 6.0/10: It just goes by, nothing special
4. Albania: 5.5/10: Not bad, but a bit too repetitive and boring.
Belarusian and ukranian songs are so emotional, while the russian and albanian ones are very boring…
race of turtles
Belarus 9/10
Ukraine 7/10
Russia 5/10
Albania 2/10
1. Ukraine
2. Albania
3. Belarus
4. Russia
But I think 1, 3 and 4 will get very high, because they are ballads and because they are Ukraine, Belarus and Russia.
Well…Really pity because the other rest 2 songs like the 2nd & 3rd liked ones other than the personal favorite of each eurofan of us that voted our #1 most liked could not vote more countries except just one..
This wiwi poll would be different if we could vote for all of our liked songs or our least liked song 4 example…Anyway..
1. Ukraine
2. Albania
3. Russia
4. Belarus
My Top 4:
1. Russia – 9/10
2. Belarus – 8/10
3. Albania – 6/10
4. Ukraine – 5/10
Wow, a perfect inverse of the Wiwi poll!
Russia is the dark horse. A few likes it now, but it will be in the TOP-3.
1.Belarus
2.Albania
3.Ukraine
4.Russia
Russia’s song is sooo weak compared to other songs they’ve sent….
My most liked song so far among the 4 that we know is.. BELARUS <3 🙂 I consider this beautiful song hot candidate to take the 3rd victory for Belarus in the Junior Vision 🙂 Really bummer about Albania's song that although really nice we get to hear always just the same lyrics being sang over & over again all the time…That is definitely disadvantage 4 its chances in Sofia…My 2nd liked song currently.. Ukraine's song is ok but i do not really like it to be honest…But the singer dear Anna seems lovely <3 My 3rd liked.. The same… Read more »
Ireland, I can tell this without even listening to the song!
