Andy Mikheev from ESC Kaz sent us the following.
Since Monday 28 September, the ESC COVERS website (with our partners Eurovision coverage, EuroVisionMusic, Destination Eurovision and the radio station x5 stereo) started promoting the COVER2COVER concept. It is not a competition anymore but a promotion platform and hopefully South African artists will send covers to us. The 3 entries we received, Helena, Anton and Marle, will be carried over to the coverage. Victor Bush is once again our model and he will be holding promo items, CD’s and bags of some of the entries from the Eurovision song contest. The ninth one is of BELARUS 2018. It is the bag and promotional CD of ALEKSEEV with FOREVER.
Alekseev has won the Eurofest national selection in Belarus and will represent them at the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest with his song Forever.
10 acts participated in the final held in Minsk –
Voting was a combination of jury and televoting.
Alekseev was actually born in Ukraine but he will be flying the Belarus flag in Portugal in May.
You can see Alekseev perform his winning song Forever below.

Alekseev has been selected to take part in the national selection in Belarus with his song Forever. Now the track has been officially released via most digital platforms such as iTunes, Apple Music and Spotify.
Forever is already a big favourite with fans and the more you hear the track it consistently grows on you.
However, there may be an obstacle to overcome yet. There were some suggestions the songs may have been performed in the Russian language earlier and may have broken some rules. We will see what happens with that but as it stands at this moment if Alekseev was to win the national final then Forever could do very well for Belarus.
Alekseev is a big star in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus and he was the winner of The Voice in Ukraine in 2014.
You can hear the studio version of Forever below.
