Perhaps the majority of people in the video are white because the majority of the Russian population is white, especially where they were filming it. You want them to purposely fly people from different parts of the country just for the video :rolleyes:

If they went out of their way to include all the ethnic groups in Russia and put them in the front you would be trashing them for that as well :rolleyes:

also in the video there are no Jews, Tatars, Yakuts, feminist, Christian fanatics, atheists, Hindus, Indians, albinos, etc. Russian such horrible!
I really would like to know how you know this. Are the noses not big enough for you?

While mostly of Eurovision singers are in Amsterdam for the concert, Polina was in Moscow for Miss Russia 2015 singing her hits.

True.

We see a lot of people from many ethnic minorities in Russia though. The problem is that most of the minorities look very similar, so you can't really distinguish them.
Maybe "All asians look the same", but can you distinguish an Yakut than a Tuvanian person? Because I personally can't do it.

It would make the video more convincing if there were more people of different races, but there's no need to exaggerate about the supposed "racism". :roll:

I totally agree. I think that all that comments are here because she is from Russia and some people expect that she should do a performance like a mix between love parade, pride festival and anti-Putin statement.

There is no need to be so extreme. She has a nice song, just enjoy it or not.

In one russian show Polina's son said that his dream is to have a brother or sister and that it's going to realize soon
Since Polina got some weight and forms, so maybe she's pregnant :)

Polina has great vocals on this. Despite the few pronunciation issues and the irony about the content of the song and the country she represents, I think this has a good chances. :rolleyes:

Oh, really? Peace and love theme not bothering you now? Enjoying the shinning build up, are we? No irony in it, btw, it's really only downright hypocrisy. Euroboy :cool:

I didn't say i loved this song. I said Polina has a great voice. The song is well structured, anthemic and very accessible. xpokerface
This is going to be TOP 10, I'm sure.

Yes, that's what everybody's saying and Russia does tend to have that kind of boring result every year round. Who knows, maybe sometime their luck runs out?

I realise you didn't say you loved it. I just know you're just sort of starting to :lol:
