passionpopRussia have decided to send an act with a history of winning Eurovision, however it was actually Junior Eurovision. I wonder if they will be wearing the same dresses they wore when they were 9. It may sound too short for 17 year olds, but this is Eurovision.
Artists: Tolmachevy Sisters
Song: Shine
The Tolmachevy Sisters have appeared on an actual Eurovision stage back in 2009 in the opening of the contest in Russia. It is possibly good that they have never sung at Eurovision before because if this song is anything to go by, it would not have been great.
I don't think much of this song. It is best described as average and is a potential toilet break. It is possibly the most depressing sounding song with a title of 'Shine' ever written. I just hope they do something interesting on the night or that by the time they perform at number 7 that it is time to break the seal.
I think that the political situation that Russia is in at the moment though will lose them votes. They will still still qualify because they do still have friends that they paid in advance for, but they wont win. The bookies have them just out of the top ten which is generous.
Only two other performers from JESC have made it to ESC. Nevena Božović came third in JESC in 2007 and in 2013 appeared as part of Moje 3 for Serbia. The first to make the leap was one part of Poland’s KWADro, Weronika Bochat who in 2010 did the only thing a JESC contestant is qualified for, she performed as a backing singer
