Boys and Girls (Eurovision song)
- Boys and Girls (Eurovision song)
"Boys and Girls" was intended to be the Belarusian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005, to be performed in English by Angelica Agurbash. As it was not performed, the song enters a very exclusive group of only three of four songs to be announced as an entry before not being performed.
The song is an emotional ballad, with the lyrics written as a plea to the children of the world, reminding them that they are the future.
Due in part to the unfashionable style of the song but also to its subject matter (the song is based around the Beslan school hostage crisis, which is unusual in English Language songs), it did not attract a favourable reception prior to the Contest. Thus, Agurbash chose to perform the up-tempo dance number Love Me Tonight instead.
Ironically, the Finnish entry at the 2005 Contest (Why? by Geir Rönning) was themed around the same events, although it did not qualify from the semi-final.
