It's Razzle!Mmm,just watching the video back I'm remembering how delightful he is,and how exciting it was seeing him at the Scala back in April.Mmmmm...Anyway,whatever your opinion on the complete rewriting of Hasta la Vista,it still deserved to qualify from the semis.But,he did his best and that's all that matters...
They've butchered Hasta La Vista :( The version Ruslan performed on Sunday night at the Russian national final is now the official version he'll be doing in Belgrade in May.
Shocking!It was so discotastic and a bit Cara Mia to start with.Not too distinctive maybe but still fabulous.I don't know,maybe I'll get used to this version,I didn't like the 'new and improved' version of Tornero when it first came out in 2006,but I probably like it more than the original now.Although to be honest,the difference between the original and final versions wasn't as big as this.Still,from the (admittedly) limited number of comments around at the minute,it seems I'm in the minority and that most people do actually like it.Anyway though,I am rather liking Ruslan's new look.Especially the hair.
Some nice Belarussian (probably) has put the video of Ruslan's fabulous Hasta La Vista on youtube.OK,so the performance isn't that great,but whatever,he's in the final now.I think I read somewhere that Ruslan won Russia's Narodniy Artist competition (the same thing Dima was in before Fabrika),don't know when though.Anyway,watch this,it's soooo good!If not slightly catchy,I woke up with it in my head this morning,worryingly.Hopefully they'll hurry up and put Litesound on next.
