Ruslan Aslanov

Ruslan Aslanov (Belarusian: Руслан Асланаў, Russian: Руслан Асланов) is a child singer who represented Belarus in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2015 with his song "Volshebstvo (Magic)". Ruslan ended in 4th place with 105 points.

Thanks to the wisdom of his grandmother, Ruslan has had lots of success singing and performing. He won first place and accolades in competitions and festivals that include ‘Voice: Ukraine’ and ‘New Wave. Russia’. In his free time, Ruslan says that he’s always ready to play tennis and football with friends.

He also likes to help his parents at home, and, of course, playing computer games. As for performers, he would like to sing along with Christina Aguilera (she is unbelievable) and Bruno Mars (he has a cool voice) and both Teo and Uzari who represented Belarus in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2014 and 2015 respectively.

Ruslan dreams to win a Grammy award for himself one day.

At Junior Eurovision

At the running order draw which took place on 15 November 2015, Belarus were drawn to perform tenth on 21 November 2015, following Macedonia and preceding Armenia.[4]

Final

Performing from a small raised platform, Ruslan gave several very emotional and passionate performances. The backdrop for this performance sees a tree changing colours with various effects. With one move of his arm, Ruslan is able to change the background effects through the song, creating his magic on stage. As they key change comes in, as well as the switching of the song into English, the tree is set alight to bring the final crescendo of song.

Voting

The voting during the final consisted of 50 percent public televoting and 50 percent from a jury deliberation. The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency. This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury could be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently. The individual rankings of each jury member were released one month after the final.

Following the release of the full split voting by the EBU after the conclusion of the competition, it was revealed that Belarus had placed seventh with the public televote and third with the jury vote. In the public vote, Belarus scored 61 points, while with the jury vote, Belarus scored 101 points.
