Eurovision review: Russia

[passionpop]

Russia loves pop, well they love sending it to Eurovision. Maybe it is a case of 'when you are on a good thing...' or not so good, as the case my be. though it has won them a Eurovision (2008) and got them to bridesmaid twice, So I guess I should expect pop from Russia for years to come

This year Russia has turned to RedOne to pen hem a winning entry. RedOne is best known for his work with Lady GaGa, will he work for Russia... maybe

Alex Sparrow (Alexey Vorobyov) is no captain jack. he is a young cute ricky martin type popstar, who comes across as too 'clean' to sing (pull or put, I am unsure which) 'my mind in that dirty zone' as he gently kisses the cheek of a girl in the crowd. Maybe it is that a guy cant get away with performing those lyrics as well as a girl can or maybe he needs female dancers and not boytoys.

I have been hearing about this song like it could be 'the one' this year, but all I hear is 'New York, London, Paris, Munich, everybody talk about POP MUSIC'. I can see this doing well on the dancefloor (after it has been cut to smithereens), I can see people playing it in their car on their way to a night out, but I cant see this as being any more than a Eurovision pop song.

Russia didn't always send pop to Eurovision. Their pre-pop entries also have some hints how to make this years entry better. get old burnt orange curtains and make them into an amazing dress. also am I the only person who appreciates that the Russian song was introduced by a man who died of a cocaine overdoes

I know you're quoting M but I like "London, New York, Berlin, Springvale" better.
