Re: RUSSIA 2016

I expected Russia to withdraw after 2014 contest, well, because of obvious reasons but they kept participating and they came up 2nd the next year. So I think Russia is an obvious participater. I don't have any favourite Russian singer so I have no wishlist to write over here. But I just don't want to see Russia overrated once more. They qualified for several times over while better countries than them failed in Eurovision history, and besides the worst current winner (for me, of course) is Dima Bilan. So I am not really glad to see Russia in the contest.

Oh, for those who accuse me as hater, I don't hate Russia, I only am sick of seeing Russia doing well with weak songs. Once again, for my taste of music of course. Besides, even though I am gay myself, I am strongly against to eurofans who hate Russia just because of political LGBT issues. This contest isn't meant to bespeak for LGBT community, they only love it and it is just fine.

Re: RUSSIA 2016

Nargiz Zakirova is the most popular choice among the Russian facebook users to representing Russia at ESC 2016 :)

Re: RUSSIA 2016

She actually may represent us next year, as she is in good relations with both RTR and C1R. And, if she refuses RTR will probably send Katya Ryabova or Lerika.

I don't want Lerika for ESC yet, she is to young for ESC, maybe in few years (in 2020) as well.

Re: RUSSIA 2016

I do wonder how close Nargiz was to being the representative this year xthink

From what I have read it seems like Polina wasn't officially a done deal until very close to when they announced her. For a while it really did look like Nargiz and then suddenly Polina's name started dominating and then she was announced. Perhaps Nargiz was their second choice if the Polina deal fell through

Nargiz would be great, she'd certainly add something and stand out at ESC.

As far as I understand, Nargiz wasn't invited to take part this year at all. At least, she said it. It seems C1R just chose between two songs (one from Kirkorov and Kontopolous and one from the Swedish team) and then just invited Polina to take part.

Hopefully, RTR will send Nargiz, but I don't think that they will reveal any info until the late March.

Re: RUSSIA 2016

Yeah, we probably won't know anything till near the deadline like this year. Although it was good to know, after everything, that they were on top of it even if we didn't know anything publically. At least they were organized

Re: RUSSIA 2016

Russian pop star Zhanna Friske passed away today from brain cancer. She was 41. :(

Friske (also known by her birth name Jeanna Friske) was a member of the Russian girl-group Blestyashchie from the late '90s, before departing in 2003 to pursue acting and her solo music career. Her film credits include notable roles in Timur Bekmambetov’s horror films Night Watch and Day Watch and she released a string of singles and a self-titled album, which dropped in 2005.

The entertainer had announced he was suffering with late stage brain cancer in January 2014 and it had been reported she was planning to establish a fund to help support those afflicted with cancer. It’s understood she declined to undergo chemotherapy due to the threat the procedure posed to her unborn child; she gave birth to a boy in April of that year.

Покойся с миром Жанна Фриске :(
