Bored

Apart from going out at a horrible time of morning to go to a Russian lesson that actually turned out to be cancelled,I've been stuck indoors all day and I'm sooooooo bored now!I've written notes on a boring case study about the history of language in Luxembourg,I've done 3 translations,and that's about it all day.Although me and Keira have had a bit of a Chelsi-fest today,which was good.I came across all sorts of lovely pictures of my favourite Russian boys :)
And I also found this video of what I assume is their latest song- Крылья.It's never been one of my favourite Chelsi songs,but the video's alright.It reminds us a bit of the fabulous British ex-boyband that were a1.....and Arseniy isn't wearing a top for a good proportion of it,which is alllllllways a plus :)

Woohoo!

I've just been told that Russia beat England today.This makes me so happy :)

Talk to my heart,whisper my name

So tomorrow it'll be 3 weeks til my birthday,hurrah!After thinking for several weeks about what I should do,and,realising that no matter how much I want to,I can't go back to Oslo,I've finally settled on having a Eurovision themed party.Well,I say party,but I don't imagine there'll actually be many people coming...Also,contrary to my,erm,predictions back in June,there's still no sign of me having a sexy and rich Siberian boyfriend (I do actually know some Russians now,but that's as far as it goes!),so it looks like the platinum and diamond ring is out of the question too.However,it should still be fabulous.We're wanting everyone to dress up as someone who's been in Eurovision,and we're even going to try and persuade one of our friends to dress up as Filip Kirkorov :) There shall also be copious amounts of our wonderful cocktail (Loving Potion) and (if we can work out a way of connecting computers to tellys) we'll have Eurovision videos on loop as well.Mostly of the Dima Koldun variety of course.
So yes,I'm now quite looking forward to my birthday.
Anyway,after a boring morning of translation,Polish grammar exercises and sociology in German,I thought I'd watch a bit of last year's Eurovision on good old NRK.It made me remember how great the Ukraine were,and how much I love Tina Karol's outfit (particularly the boots:) )

Poor Dima!

It seems everyone likes to mock Mr Bilan.


Even his fellow Russian pop stars.


This is my favourite one though :)

Suggestions....

So today I somehow volunteered myself to do a presentation for my Russian class in 2 weeks time.About Dima Bilan.This sounded like a good idea at the time,but then I thought,what can I actually say about him?If anyone knows anything remotely interesting about him that might also interest a group of non-Europop-loving Brits,please let me know :)
Anyway,now for something extremely cheerful.A little bit too cheerful perhaps.

I love this song!

Vsi za enega...

I have no idea what that title means,all I know is that it's Slovenian.Which means that this post can only be about one thing- the lovely Anžej Dežan :) Regulars to Work Your Magic will know of my penchant for European musical reality TV shows,so I was very excited just now when Keira sent me this video of the wonderful Mr D on RTV Slovenija's offering- Spet Doma.It was won by Omar Naber (whose Eurovision song I actually quite liked,as strange as it was),and Anžej came second.He's blatantly the more fabulous of the two though :)

Watch out for low flying Russians

Sergey Lazarev is seemingly a man of many talents.He also happens to be l'Europop Artist du jour here at Europop Mansions,so what better excuse to post this wonderful video of him on the Russian version of Dancing on Ice :)
