The Russians are coming

Serebo at Eurovision 2007

Phil: Still my kind of song – still the kind of thing that I like a lot, and my ilk will like as well but I still think that it needs a dance routine to liven it up and this is what it is missing. They have added some kind of keyboard note thing on the backing track which REALLY grates and spoils this brilliant song and makes it a total dogs breakfast of a thing. This is now probably going not to stay up unless they change the backing track to it’s original format. Shame, as lots of people will like this – Thank fuck for that – they must have heard me complaining cos the keyboard notes have gone and it sounds 100 percent better – so please ignore the above, because it’s now shot back up the list and should stay up.

Nick: What’s the weather like in Moscow at this time of year? 🙂 In all seriousness, I don’t entirely see this as a winner, but it’s certainly nothing less than dangerous. The girls have a wonderful attack, the stage looks great with the red neon grid flying around, and yet … we’ve seen cross Russians stomping around previous Eurovisionistas after coming second, many a time. Could Russia be the new United Kingdom?
