Fun story: A member of this forum (I can’t remember who it was) once texted me on Grindr and said something like “Oh hey, aren’t you GermanBango from Escunited?”
THAT was weird haha.
That's why I prefer being anonymous when it comes to Eurovision, the gays are everywhere. Wouldn't be surprised if some people here know me. Omg my ex could even be here.

It's post-pandemic pre-WorldWar3 thing. Seize the time gap the best you can. 🤣
Is it bad that I would prefer WW3 over becoming 30? (jk of course)

I said that only 'cause I absolutely loved his two precedent entries :mrgreen:
I have been in Tel Aviv arena live, I can assure you "Scream" is one of the best things I have seen live in my entire life.. xbow

Even Wiwibloggs postet about Klava Koka not representing Russia.
I wasn´t even aware of the fact that she´s been highly rumored!?


Wiwibloggers have Russian sponsors though, I doubt anyone outside of Russia cares but they often run stories like these...

I like her though (the little I've heard), but I wouldn't say it's some major news... we'll probably get another Horror Team entry and that's just it... Kirkorov is running Russian ESC delegation like Putin is running the whole country sadly....

Is anybody seriously expecting Russia to compete in Turin? That would be absurd.

It was somehow irritating to read that "Polina was singing a peace ballad - a usual genre for her" phrase.
Like.. ehm.. no? She usually doesn´t sing cheesy peace ballads in English

My opinion is still that one from my page in which I referred back to the Eurovision participation of this country this year (before someone turned this thread into a political mess) but IF the situation changes and Russia takes part, I hope they will host a last-minute national final.. that way, we got three authentic songs at least.

Lol they actually wrote that? :lol: I would love to know how much Kirkorov actually sponsored them with, some of their stories are delusional at best...

Well, a last-minute mini NF last year brought them one of their best ESC entries to date so... although I still don't think they should be allowed to enter as of now, I will still (if they enter) judge their entry fairly (as I did every other year, including last year when I put them in my personal top. 3).
