I’m 8months pregnant and I have love the featuring “la-bas” with Jacques Goldman so much that I wanted to know this young beautiful lady until I found out of her passing and the tragic story of it! I’m forever in love with that song and as I met my Prince Charming. We married and are expecting our little girl who going to be named after Sirima.

He has the most gorgeous voice and a breathtaking vocal range.

The performance seemed to me a bit overeager (as is often the case in ESC). I expected it to be nostalgic, wistful, and <i>temperate</i> above all - but it was surprisingly intense and came across almost as desperate. However, it was still a sure qualifier for me.

Ukraine by using the current political mood in Europe to boost an anti-Russian song, and Russia by putting a wheelchair-bound person through this charade without no expectation at all that she'll actually participate.
