My most fave indie band. She sounds like Kylie a lil' bit in this one. The original is 4 minutes long though.

They wanted to submit their song with Dana International in 2009 but refused from that idea.
Their song is called "Higher" & it was written by Alexander Bard again.
Anastasiya Pryhodko - I think there's no reason to introduce her))
The song is called "I am Free Now" & it's written by Armenian authors with Armenian ethno feel.
The song will be released tomorrow.
Jamala - 2011... many people remember her "Smile".
The song is called "1944" & it's dedicated to victims of the henocide of Crimean Tatars.
