The passion of “Eurovision”, or the Triumph of anonymity

With interest followed the debate on musical competition “Eurovision”. With interest and confusion: but where is Russia in General? This competition was held for Amateur musicians, for newcomers to show business, so adorable “Buranovskie grandmother” could still represent Russia – they are just normal Granny’s charming in his naivete and enthusiasm, wonderful in its naturalness and originality.

But that, in fact, Russian Lazarev and his presentation?

He sang in English, what he sang, no one knows. Who and why he chose to represent Russia, you can only guess. He represented show business, and the Russian show business is anything, but only not the Russian tradition, not Russian music.

Our songs have always had the sincerity, brightness and warmth. They wanted to sing in the circle of friends, they would want to listen to alone – to cry, to suffer or, conversely, to cheer yourself up. It is a peculiarity of Russian music.

What Russian in pop music, fun and frantically trying to copy Western fashion, styles, clothing, and demeanor on stage?

Lazarev what is different from any other performer in this competition? Who ever could on the record to determine the artist? Admit it, who sings his songs at home? Yes there is singing, who is generally one of our listeners will be able to name five or six of his songs?

I’m sure that no one.

It was fun to listen to, what grade they gave the room Lazarev: wonderful music, wonderful laser show and lighting effects. What’s remarkable, I wonder? Lazarev on the background of torn chicken feathers – like a fallen angel or something? Lazarev, falling in the light splashes in a puddle. Very vividly, honestly, “without me you can fly with one wing”.:-)

Then because it was so worried? Well competing producers Prigogine and Cool: the contractor whose somewhere will win, will get another statuette, and all of us with it? Where the life of an ordinary Russian citizen and where show business?

It is possible that this grimace painted the audience of the Moscow parties and interested Teens, but it is while they are young and stupid, I don’t see all their vulgarity and bad taste – will grow wiser, I hope. But what adults respond to these games transvestites, homosexuals and lesbians?

Policy here have included coming out, the response – so again: what’s new? What do you else expect from these schenevmerlikov? Jamal tried to howl at these revels – now she can “suffer” for the Armenian people, then cry for the Mother – as the evil Muscovites took their Crimea, deprived of its historic homeland. Then run on stage without panties, Europeysky supporting freedom of expression – a field for the eccentricities huge.

Russia-this is nonsense why? What our musicians there? With such Russian they can introduce you to Europe?

Look at this picture – do you recognize yourself, Russian?

Mind me from such competitions and such “representatives” of Russian culture.
