Russia RUSSIA 2016 - Sergey Lazarev - You Are The Only One

[Sabiondo]

Nyusha will be the spokesperson for Russia! It's a good sign to see her in ESC soon?

Yep, it is a good sign... But Nyusha is a risky choice to send to ESC... You know, she is an amazing entertainer and an outstanding dancer, but live singing... That would really, really worry me. However, I bet if Russia does send her next year, she will get the best vocal coaches to fix this problem So, perhaps/most likely my worries are superfluous

Anyways, Sergey is most likely the winner tonight - I am 90% sure. Enjoy druzya in Russia It is going to be a great evening. Really looking forward to this night!

EUROVISION favourite Russia was last night caught in a fetish porn blunder after pictures emerged of its contestant seemingly posing for a series of explicit snaps. Sergey Lazarev, 33, is seen sitting naked on a bed while menacingly holding a saw to the throat of a woman handcuffed to a radiator. But the Kremlin dismissed claims its star man was a porn actor, insisting the images were taken to highlight domestic violence issues.

Anyone know how the jury performance went?

 

[Verjamem]

Nope, everyone is focused on article in "The S..." about his fetish I guess, some of Eurofans would use it as another argument against Russia's victory.

 

[Carian]

Anyone know how the jury performance went?

I've read only the review on Oikotimes. The Greek guy that reports there didn't mention any slips or vocal problems, so I assume he was on point and just fine. I wouldn't expect anything else Sit tight and get ready, ESC is evidently coming to Moscow in 2017

 

[SirPeterGriffin]

Russia shouldn't win with that joke song. It's already a disgrace that this garbage is even in contention to win. Luckily, i'm pretty sure that the juries will completly destroy any chances for this...

 

[blue00eyes]

I am looking forward Russian victory tonight, only juries can ruin their chances. I am also afraid that the whole voting will lead to some kind of a war between Ukraine and Russia and evil Russia's gonna lose.

 

[tsegaye]

Anyone know how the jury performance went?

I was there and I found his voice very strained and unusually shrill, but he didn't miss a note or something like that.

 

[QwaarJet]

Hoping the juries did their jobs last night.

 

[Mii11]

Hoping the juries did their jobs last night.

Hopefully they did better job last night compared to Monday, when they let Azerbaijan into the final...

 

[GermanBango]

Hopefully they did better job last night compared to Monday, when they let Azerbaijan into the final...

 

[Musicosity]

Tut tut. How very capitalistic of them.

Sorry but I really have to share this. 3

Found this on one Croatian site. You should apparently play the song and read the lyrics. Works like a charm.

Verse 1
I will close my eyes cause I feel shame
Hypocrites like me are a dozen a dime
In my dear Russia all gay guys are vilified
But I have to tell you now
My secret now

Bridge
Won't ever come out
Cause Russians would kill me dead
Nothing or noone would save my poor ass
I love it from behind but do „the train“, too
So I'll just try…

Chorus
Lying to voters of Eurosong contest
Blind them with strobe lights and video walls
Who cares 'bout music when fire is burning
Adore my CGI, gays look at my balls
I'm a macho guy
Can't you see my moves?
Learnt from the book on how to be straight
So incredible, so unbelievable
That some people still think I'm not gay

I saw some cool stuff on a Thailand TV show
I thought to myself: why not just copy it all?
Noone will notice cause Thailand is far away
Holly crap, now comes the hardest part…

Don't mind my voice because climbing is very hard
I'm doing my best trying not to fall down
Already fell and my ass is still red
Or is that from last night?

Trite lyrics, cool tricks are all I can give you
Heart, soul and feelings you'll find somewhere else
Can't say I'm singing about my hot boyfriend
What's next, it is so dark
I'll stretch out my arm

Teenage boys and girls
Just please vote for me
If I don't win, I can't go back home
All the shiny crap
Makes you think I sing well
Lost my breath, so now I need a break

You're my only guy…

Must win this contest, so that's why I'm trying
Trying too hard, I got lost in the crap
Out of breath by now
Muscles ache like hell
There is no art here
Just my poor act
My integrity out of the window now
The girl in the end makes it all fine

WOW.....GREAT.......

Well judging from the avalanche of negativity in the press and the usual backroom shenanigans I have no doubt despite all of it Sergey will finish top 5 but not win. Fanboys can be happy for another whole year and act like it was justice

 

[Matt]

Sergey is a class act and one of the most friendly artists I met this year. I wish him nothing but the best and would be thrilled if he ends up victorious tonight. I'm keeping it about the music and Russia takes it seriously. Yes, some people think it's outdated, some think the performance is over the top. But one thing you can't say is that they aren't trying. I wish the U.K., Germany and several other countries would actually learn from this.

I will vote for three countries tonight and Russia will be one of them.

I don't think that that the song is outdated and the performance is over the top - I'd actually say those are facts, not anyone's opinion. But some people like that, some not.

I don't have a problem with him trying, my problem is that it seems really fake. I want all the best to people who try from their heart to succeed, but it seems that Russia wants to win just for the sake of winning. And that's sad.

So, how many gay celebrities are out in Croatia and comfortably discussing their sexuality, thereby setting an example for the gay youth? Wasn't in Split (Croatia) a few years ago that gay pride parade was attacked by homophobes and stopped?

You know, when we bash Russia for their anti-gay laws, we easily forget that the things are not so shiny for common people in our "democratic" Europe either. I am not talking only about gay rights. Please, let us dwell on this a bit first, and then let us go and criticize Russians for what they are doing...

Have fun tonight, and let the best one win
