January 25, 20187 yr Author Russia are back from sitting out last year's contest after their selected participant Yuliya Samoilova was barred from entering Ukraine and subsequently giving the EBU its biggest headache EVER. They'll be out for blood too after being the televote victor in 2016 but still losing out on the title. Yuliya of course was "promised" to be their 2018 representative this year after she was kicked out by the Ukrainian government, whether that will be honoured or not remains to be seen.
January 26, 20187 yr Author ESCKaz.com reporting that Yuliya has been chosen as their representative for 2018.
January 26, 20187 yr Well I don't see Russia being in contention with her so for that I'd be happy with this choice (and I think I've come to ironically like "Flame is Burning" these days oops)
January 26, 20187 yr In ‘not letting things be over’ news - Ukraine would not be allowed under Ukrainian law to broadcast Julia’s performance as she’s on the “blacklist” of artists for illegally entering Crimea. Yippidie doo dah!
January 26, 20187 yr It has to be a different song though right? Give her a club banger, push the sob story angle and it's Moscow 2019.
January 26, 20187 yr Apparently she isn't on the blacklist anymore according to some Twitterers... I thought we left this blacklist in April 2017
January 29, 20187 yr Author Officially confirmed today https://www.escxtra.com/2018/01/29/channel-...ulia-samoylova/
January 29, 20187 yr Good for her, and for Russia not going back on their word! It will need to be a wayyyy better song to be in any sort of contention but she'll do well on the televote with whatever I should imagine as she'll have a lot of public support.
January 29, 20187 yr It has to be a different song though right? Give her a club banger, push the sob story angle and it's Moscow 2019. Personally I don't really see 'wheelchair' and 'club banger' as much of a matching combo
January 29, 20187 yr I'm hoping for something with "Shine" levels of smugness here with her oozing cuntiness from every pore!
January 29, 20187 yr I'm hoping for something with "Shine" levels of smugness here with her oozing cuntiness from every pore! Omg this MUST happen!
March 10, 20187 yr This year will be all about Russia trying to save face after their plan last year backfired, I think.
March 11, 20187 yr #Eurovision #Russia @jsvok to perform I Won't Break by Leonid Gutkin, Netta Nemrodi and Arie Burshtein (same team as Flame Is Burning). At Far East broadcast only news report was aired - full song coming tonight at appr 20:20 CET.
March 11, 20187 yr This has leaked (give it a Twitter search, I’ll try and find a link I can post), much much better than Flame Is Burning - quite modern tropical-lite ballad! It should be good enough to squeeze through in semi 2.
