Belarus ’s entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 was chosen using two phases . The Belarusian broadcaster BT staged a final allowing viewers to choose the top 3 songs in the selection . Of these three , the winner was chosen by a jury behind the scenes . They chose Polina Smolova with her song '' Mama '' . The song is an upbeat pop song that resembles the styles of Michael Jackson . Polina attempted to represent Belarus last year , and although she was the public 's favourite , she did n't win because she was not selected by the jury . The song was written by Andrey Kostiugov and composed by Sergey Sukhomlin , and has been renamed '' Mum '' for the contest in Athens
