You were as cold as Arctic ice

I'm still of course very disappointed (but not surprised) that Litesound didn't win Eurofest last night,but I must say,I do feel a bit sorry for Ruslan.Practically every comment I've read about him on the esctoday.com message boards and various other places has been really negative.With an amazing song like Do You Believe in the final,I can't believe how they could have chosen anything other than Litesound,but,as I've said before,Hasta La Vista is a very typical pop song that ticks all the right Eurovision boxes.It really isn't as bad a song as so many people are saying- a bit unoriginal maybe,but when you look at the 'original' things that have been tried in the last few years (Andorra's punk-pop last year,Croatia's Dado Topić and Dragonfly,also last year,and Anžej's theatrical camp disco in 2006),it seems that people don't like it.And to say that Ruslan "can't sing" is ridiculous,he has a nice voice,and he sounds a little bit like Dima,which is always a plus :) And as for the performance,of course it'll be good on the night,Dima's first performance on Eurofest last year was pretty rubbish,but it was all fabulous eventually.
So Ruslan,if you ever happen to come across Work Your Magic (I can always hope :) ),just ignore all the horrible people- Я люблю тебя! (And sorry for saying it was rubbish that you won :/)
Oh,by the way,here's a nice song (apparantly the Eurofest theme song),that all the finalists sung last night.It's good :)
