Yes they may be the last dictatorship in Europe and, yes, they may have had a song that’s on the wrong side of offensive but, boy they know how to sell a song and, unlike many singers this afternoon, Anastasiya Vinnikova can perform on her allotted key! Lots of Fireworks from the start, a lead singer that actually can sing, lots of symbolism in the background and more pyrotechnics at the end than you can shake a stick at!
This shouldn’t be qualifying but yet, with that performance and the voter-ship on Thursday night not caring 2 jots about the political situation back in her home country – – this has a very strong chance of getting through!
