ESC 2015 RUSSIA: POLINA GAGARINA FOR RUSSIA

Russia has revealed its cards. Polina Gagarina will sing for them in Vienna, apparently the song is Secret poison written by the usual team of Kirkorov, Kontopoulos & co. Polina lived her early life in Greece and has the usual past in talent reality like Star factory 2 that she won, New Wave festival in Jurmala, winning Golden Grammophone contest twice as well as other awards and nominations along the way. The song should premiere in March 15.

#ESC 2014 RUSSIA: TOLMACHEVY SISTERS - SHINE

Russia was the last one to reveal their entry and in the current political situation one can only wonder how and if it will effect the outcome. The Tolmachevy sisters took the ungrateful job and their song Shine is penned by the usual names who are willing to enter whichever country takes them every year. The twin sisters Anastasiya and Maria have already won the Junior Eurovision song contest in 2006 and now at the age of 17 give it a try among the adults. They have performed in a few high scale productions (like Eurovision 2009 in Moscow) as guests but as for recording songs and having hits they are totally unknown. Robert : After all the political turmoil of recent weeks around Russia, the Russian entry, to most, is the song to dislike but I must admit I like it very much. Whenever it passes by on my ipod, it catches my attention and i want to turn up the volume. Since Eurovision is bringing people together and that the message is to keep politics out of the contest, the Tolmac...

In Moscow 2009: Kirkorov sets eyes on Rybak

Philip Kirkorov, besides being confident on making Carola a huge star in ex-Sovjet countries keep eye on Norway's Alexander Rybak as well. He even invited Alexander to his modest home, a great honour to a common mortal in Russia, and fed him with black caviar. They didn't have any communication problems as Belarus born Alexander speaks fluent Russian. Is this a consacration for Alexander's victory come Saturday - or kiss of death? We will see...

OPENING CEREMONY LIVE NOW HERE:

http:// eurovision.1tv.ru/ Apparently it wasn't live after all because there were some very sharp cuts. Andreia nd Alsou hosted and if they will do the same kind of presenting in Eurovision it will be painful experience. And if we can expect the same kind of TV camera work it will be even more painful. Now it was very evident what most delegations have been complaining about but luckily most seem to have had it worked out with some pressure and threads. Finland sorted it all out my insisting on changing the camera editor from a Russian to a Swede. Anyways Philip Kirkorov started the show by raping Kylie's Your disco needs you . Lys Assia belted out her Refrain as well. Then the new Dschingis Khan rocked the house when they did their entry from 1979 and the best pop song there is: Moskau ! That was priceless! Loved it to bits! Carola and Ruslana followed, then t.A.T.u ., Dana International , Teach-In , Marija Serifovic before Dima Bilan who did both of his entries bef...

In Moscow 2009: Carola is in town

Carola landed in Moscow yesterday and has been busy partying ever since. She lunched with Philip Kirkorow - and apparently sung him Cara mia and now Kirkorow wants to record it in Russian - and partied later on with him and Svetlana. Later on when leaving she was playing the diva part outside EuroClub and threw the flowers she got away to the cameramen. One did make a perfect catch: is he going to get married now?! Oops! I just noticed this is my 2.000th post! Need to have a caipirinha for that later....
