Two Russian Eurovision songs that will make you go 'blimey'.

BLIMEY 1:

(THIS ONE HAS ENDED UP BEING RUSSIA'S ACTUAL EUROVISION ENTRY.)

BLIMEY 2:

(This didn't win but is still worth a blimey, and you need to let this one run to at least the first chorus to get the 'full effect'.)

It's inter­est­ing flicking through these YouTube clips.

We like this one, for instance, despite the act's inability to perform live.

This is a great ballad.

And here's Yulia from Tatu.

And finally, here's the Russian Duncan James.

That's got to be worth a third 'blimey'.
