passionpop Russia:
Wins: 2008
Expected place: 24th
Highlights
Vodka - she drank it... I am sure...
Lowlights
Copious amounts of vodka are required to listen to this song.
Russia - Anastasiya Prykhodko 'Mamo'
In 2006, Belarus sent a song called mum, and Polina Smolova, the girl who sung it, was dressed rather skanky and mainly in black. I never liked that song from the first time I heard it. this years Russian entry echos Belarus in many ways. I dont like it, I just dont like it
Anastasiya Prykhodko is from the Ukraine, and also entered the Ukrainian national final and was disqualified after it was found that the song she entered with had already been released. her manager kicked up a fuss and while all this was going on (and the Ukrainian final was delayed due to a legal challenge by her manager) she jumped the border and entered in Russia. See Russians dont have their own emos, they have to import them from the Ukraine.
this song is nowhere near as good as the song that won last year for Russia, though I didnt like the Dima Bilan song either. I dont like much about Eurovision.... but I still watch it every year without fail.
Ghost of Eurovision Past: tATu 'Ne ver', ne boysia' - 2003. Due to the amount of countried that have entereed Eurovision since 1992, there will be some duplications of years from now on. as for tATu, well they were favourites, but they were never going to win with vocals this bad...
