I imagined trees, gypsies, goldfishes, fireflies and yes of course, a unicorn on stage. They brought soldiers and giant cog wheels once, so why not a unicorn?!

Me. Is. Disappointed.

A giant standing next to her throughout the song? One of the most "famous" jazz singers in the world as a backing vocalist. I just have a feeling now, if I had to put a bet on who wins it would be this. I'm getting flashbacks to Russia's victory that was gimmick central. The only thing making me uncertain is how the song doesn't end with a bang.. the performance might though.

This song is very emotional and has a very good atmosphere! I hope they will bring on stage everything blows in mind while listening! Good luck!

Me no likey either. I thought it was one of the saddest, most desperate things ever in 2008. I don't think Zlata's performance will be anywhere near as cringe worthy as Dima Bilan's though. She seems a really nice girl.

I'm trying to work out who this famous male jazz singer she mentions in the amsterdam video is going to be.. Hmmmmmmm.

Agree with that, at least Zlata is a sweet girl, nothing like the arrogant Dima Bilan.

This doesn't sound promising to me. Brings back painful memories of her 2011 national final performance of the Kukushka and its awkward giant birdman.

Huh? Kukushka and birdman???

Btw Kukushka will remain a big loss for ESC, although I admit that the bi-lingual version wasn't that good...

It strikes me now, the song is kind of similar to this.... not so much the sound, but the melody and overall structure of it!

I agree. Russian 2008's performance was pretentious. It's not as if Ukraine never had any exaggerated choreographies (Svetlana, I'm looking at you) but Russia went over the top and to be honest, it added nothing to the performance.
