Re: RUSSIA 2011 - Alex Sparrow - Get You

This song is actually not that bad, his voice is ok, the song has a good danceable beat. I just don't like the end because I feel like it's out of place which is just a matter of personal taste

Re: RUSSIA 2011 - Alex Sparrow - Get You

Do we?
It's smth new 4 me)))))
Only several ex-USSR republics vote 4 Russia permanently...
The countries of former "east block" wake up sometimes...))))
Anyway, our song is not bad at all. I'd give it 7 points...!!

Not only from ex-USSR & Easten, also from Portugal, Israel, Greece, the Baltics and Cyprus who gaves points to our big sestra )))

I found out that I actually prefer the live than the studio version :lol:

Me too. The studio version is quite bland but I like his stage presence, even with the far from perfect vocals and that heavy Russian accent shining through in all its glory.

I find his accent charming and more easy to bear than the one Eric Saade has...

I don't really notice much of an accent with Saade... but then I'm not a native speaker of English. It's his singing voice that irritates me, so nasal.

I meant Saade's voice, not our little Sparrow's.

Naaaaah... This song doesn't really work for me. I know Russian scene pretty much, and I don't understand why they need to ask Americans for help when Eurovision is in question? Russia itself has so many good performers, and really good songs.

Agree with everything!

RedOne is not American though, he is Moroccan born that lived in Sweden since teenage and it was also in Sweden together with other Swedes he started his career as composer/producer.

The song is average, his voice is bad. Weak entry but I don't get why it is overrated.

Re: RUSSIA 2011 - Alex Sparrow - Get You

Alexey looks great on stage, but his voice is whack. Awesome song though. I see this doing well too

His voice is ok in Russian. In English it sounds weird to me. So, Aleksey needs to
1) sing this in russian
2) try not to dance while oooooohing

He can fly into my nest anytime. Or land on my pole. Or.. I'll stop there.

Very funny.

Actually I like the dodgy accent and he certainly appears to have stage presence. Like the retro 80s Rick Astley feel.

At the end of the day this is Russia who have enough guaranteed points that they could get a top 12 finish with the sound of someone vomiting so I feel it could do well
