Poil a is beautiful with a beautiful voice. Why do Russia always try to send songs with powerful messages/morals despite the horrendous atrocities going on against groups in their country? It's annoying. Anyhow...it's a credible song but I feel it's missing something - I just don't know what. It's 11th on my list. 3 points.

That's lame. :? I'm shocked to know how disrespectful ESC fans may be, this is just all over the place - and even more so for such an event meant to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the contest.

A majority of the people who attend these events, and who were probably at this concert, are the extreme ESC fans from OGAE (or OGAY as some call them :lol:). They don't represent the majority but they are VERY loud.

Their very hypocritical and seem to have their own set of rules of what is and what is not acceptable :rolleyes: Unfortunately they seem to be gaining more influence lately and the EBU seem to want to pander to them for some idiotic reason xpuke

OGAE... is this a sect or something? :lol: I thought those people were nothing more than hardcore gay fans who enjoyed attending unofficial ESC-related events and coming up with an absolutely predictable "ideal" scoreboard each year :lol: They should stick to those kind of things tbh. There are better and far more efficient ways to show one disagrees with the Russian government if they really care for it. :?

In description of the video: "Ahead of Dima Bilan's performance at the Eurovision's Greatest Hits concert on March 31, hosts Graham Norton and Petre Mede introduced him. When they said Russia the audience began booing and Graham told the audience that this is not a contest, and that they should boo somewhere else. They had to re-introduce Dima, and even then a few people still booed. This is the minor booing on the second introduction. We weren't able to film the first round of booing, unfortunately."

I hate it when people get booed just because they come from a certain country. Coming from Russia should not be a prerequisite to get booed at by so-called Eurofans, and no one from any country deserves booing. Unfortunately, that base is gaining and who else knows what happens.

Having said that, I will give 10 points to Russia because I actually enjoyed the song.

Not wanting to dance anymore, but I must dance
The backup dancers seemed out of place, but otherwise a great performance!

First Russian entry I like in a long time. For sure it's going to be in the top ten, and finally that will be deserved. Might very well win too.

Its fantastic Polina can sing it as close to the CD as possible....especially the end xyaay

I was disappointed when Dina Garipova would always semi abort the long note at the end of "What if" :oops: I remember everybody constantly saying she flubbed it despite the fact she would sing it the exact same way every single time. The reaction to the jury rehearsal claiming disaster was pretty funny :lol:
