Young singer from Belarus Alexey Zhigalkovich conquers music Europe. Belarusian representatives twice win the junior "Eurovision". "With Friends" song performed by an 11 years old singer from Belarus became a real hit. Alexey was also supported by "All Starts" dancing band. The intrigue was preserved, however, due to the bookmakers the representative of Belarus was the leader. Alexey Zhigalkovich acknowledged that it was a fair play. Svetlana Elfimova: The last performing number is lucky for Belarus - Ksenia Sitnick also won the contest performing under the last number. Nevertheless, this year the audience received the opportunity to vote right after the start or the contest. Starting the first notes it was vivid that Alexey Zhigalkovich was performing a hit. (Olga Vronskaya, vocal pedagogue) Serbia and Armenia were the most serious contestants. The leadership was taken by Armenia. Nevertheless, Portugal and Malta moved Belarus up to the second place before pre-last voting. Lithuania voted next to the last. Alexey Zhigalkovich was behind by 4 points by that time. Our northern neighbors gave us 12 points and Belarus controlled the situation ever since. (Alexander Mezhenny, head of the dancing band) Though Alexey believes in miracles of Harry Potter, he doesn't consider his victory a wonder. His parents received good music education. Alexey started singing at 5 years and even started composing at 9. (Alexey Zhigalkovich, winner of junior "Eurovision-2007") Alexey's mobile phone was filled with calls and messages; his mother called first. The President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko called from Venezuela and congratulated the young singer. Friends and relatives supported Alexey Zhigalkovich during the moment of his victory.
