Russia
Dennis Reviews Anita’s 21st Century Favourite
Peter Nalitch and Friends – Lost and Forgotten | 11th place, 91 points (Final)
This is cult. True Eurovision cult. The part where Peter is looking at the photo is an iconic Eurovision moment that will last forever. It will never be lost and forgotten. Overall, the genre and vocals are not my cup of tea, but this song has definitely grown on me after the contest of 2010. It is not the best Russian entry to me, though. That is a compliment, because Russia has sent some really good stuff to Eurovision in the 10’s.
Brandon Reviews Joshua’s 21st Century Favourite
Dima Bilan – Never Let You Go | 2nd place, 248 points
Unfortunately, I’m in the minority that actually prefers his Eurovision-winning song ‘Believe’. Never was a huge fan of this track and quite divided on thinking it definitely didn’t deserve top two but I know this song does have a lot of love. Great performer and the piano with rose petals is SO GOOD. Great year for Russia.
