Belarus reaches Eurovision 2013 final

          Belarusian Alyona Lanskaya made it through to 2013 Eurovision Song Contest final. It is the second time Belarus has reached the final since the show introduced two semifinals in 2008 (Belarus' band 3+2 were in the final in 2010).
Moldova, Lithuania, Ireland, Estonia, Denmark, Russia, Belgium, Ukraine and the Netherlands also qualified for the final.
      Lanskaya took the audience with her lovely energetic song Solayoh. Both the singer herself and her show contributed to the decision in her favor.
Among those who will also perform on 18 May will be Moldova’s Aliona Moon (O Mie), Ireland’s Ryan Dolan (Only Love Survives), Estonia’s Birgit (Et Uus Saaks Alguse) and Belgium’s Roberto Bellarosa (Love Kills).
Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Cyprus and Serbia did not make it into the final which is due to take place on Saturday, 18 May.
