Russia RUSSIA 2015 - Polina Gagarina - A Million Voices

[RainyWoods]

If this song was from Sweden, eurofans would fap for this, really.

This eurofan certainly wouldn't.

If this song was from San Marino and performed by Valentina Monetta then.... maaaybe. I'd be majorly disappointed and contemplating the steep fall from my window ledge, but i'd try and force myself to... "fap" for it? I've no idea what this fap thing is, but I gather it must be some kind of joyous bodily sway that eurofans do when they hear a delightful song?

[Schlagerman1]

I think this song is almost surprisingly good! It is a bit cheesy sure, but this is really a strong Russian entry, best since 2012, maybe even since 2009!

 

[Fielmann]

Some interesting and powerful vocals in this video. I'm giving this 0 points for now because the song itself doesn't really do anything to me but I'm very much looking forward to the live performance.

 

[Fluke]

Meh, cheesy, unoriginal and it feels really plastic. Add to that that this is the third year in a row that they're sending bland propaganda crap.

How was "Shine" propaganda?

Yeah, that's exactly what it is

Why haven't I met you when I was writing my diploma project? I'd use you to help me with synonims and describing things.

 

[Koori]

Azerbaijan has "song about war" = swedish autors
Russian song is "propaganda song" = swedish autors
So, you should blame swedish autors for everything. Profit.

Joking of course, but as far as I know, propaganda songs left only in North Korea.

 

[CatEye]

How was "Shine" propaganda?

It's the generic jury friendly peace song which is just there in hope that people would forget about the things that made Russia recently infamous in the rest of Europe. They have no other purpose than to make sure that the country keeps a low profile, still gets a decent result (for Russia's standards) and try to portray an image which is obviously quite hypocritical and comes across as insincere. Shine is not even closely as obvious in this as he other two, but if you look more closely it does fall into the same category.
I try to ignore this as much as I can and judge the songs for what they are, but this is already the third time in a row and I'm sure next year it's going to be the same crap again... They aren't fooling anyone, so they should rather go for bland pop songs about love or something like that.

 

[Sammy]

nope, it should be 3-07

Yes, thanks! I noticed my error in between.

 

[Eames]

This song is by Swedes as well? LOL

 

[Iuris]

Me listening to this song.

 

[Carian]

Well, you have online dictionaries of synonims... FOR FREE. If there weren't any, then perhaps I would get it why you are flirting with RainyWoods, but right now I am not sure what this is about...

 

[revallsay]

oh, you're jealous I'm having an affair with [MENTION=9441]RainyWoods[/MENTION] and you're not? I am so sorry if you felt offended. I will continue the affair with Rainy and [MENTION=12078]AshleyWright[/MENTION] in our 'Freedom Room' on plug.dj.

I am so disappointed by the fact that you are my fellow countryman/woman... According to your logic, not a single prostitute is capable of loving or deserving love. For, since Russia has had bad publicity (over the last ten years ever since they kicked from the president's chair that drunkard), everybody interprets anything what Russia(ns) do(es) and it goes against our preconceived notions of her/them is immediately interpreted as hypocricy blah blah blah.

Well, my dear Nika Zorjan fan, I think that also Western Europe is being hypocritical when booing singers on the ESC-stage. We, fans, are loving, accepting, and so on, but as it seems to me, we are nothing less judgemental towards Russians as they are towards members of the LGBT community.

And for the record: I've had a Russian gay friend who told me that perhaps the situation wasn't perhaps ideal for gays in Russia at the time being, but he/many Russian gays still preferred Putin's rule over the years of "freedom" in the 1990's when almost everyone had been unemployed "having nothing but air in his fridge" - to quote literaly my Russian friend. So, all together, Russians are just OK, we only have to teach them that gays aren't their problem or cause of their problems

And now, please, enjoy Polina Gagarina's song for the song's sake, don't let yourself get troubled by politics

Have my dear, I really don't mind. I understand, girl has to do what girl has to do, for we all have to work in order to eat.

Thank you for understanding, I really appreciate it.

Two Brits and a Pole.. making sweet, sweet music together at plug.dj. So many hits we play

 

[Nikey]

I really want to hate this (for mostly political reasons) but one look at her eyes and I'm melting...Song is nice too but honestly, SHE is the reason I'm thinking about voting this instead of Slovenia. Damn you, Russians for using this kind of tactics.

 

[RainyWoods]

Thank you for understanding, I really appreciate it.

Was an assumption just made by Carian that I pay you for the musical hits? Why, i've never felt so insulted in my entire life. It's strictly pleasure when we hit the dance floors of the plug.dj freedom room. Such fun we all have there. You've just been painted out as some kind of musical prostitute. I am outraged for your treatment revallsay, my dear friend. We share our music freely... openly and lovingly. It comes from the heart. There is no price.

If I was to shout abuse at my friend's Russian wife for being Russian, that would be judgemental and wrong. If I was to shout abuse at Russian state tv's chosen representative in an international competition, where Russian state tv quite blatantly attempts to whitewash its country's reputation, that would be a different situation.

And for the record: I've had a Russian gay friend who told me that perhaps the situation wasn't perhaps ideal for gays in Russia at the time being, but he/many Russian gays still preferred Putin's rule over the years of "freedom" in the 1990's when almost everyone had been unemployed "having nothing but air in his fridge" - to quote literaly my Russian friend.

I don't think the ruthless repression of freedom of speech, the institutionalised persecution of minorities or the invasion of neighbouring countries are necessary conditions for a functioning economy. This argument that Putin is ok, because there's food on the table is a misguided one. Other ex-communist countries had economic problems after the fall of the USSR. With time, many have recovered without having to revert back to the bad old days of dictatorship.

And now, please, enjoy Polina Gagarina's song for the song's sake, don't let yourself get troubled by politics

The song is awful bilge whoever sends it.
