Russia 2021: Manizha - Russian Woman

[Эулия]

I’m listening to this again and seriously aside from the Soviet chanting this is unlistenable!

Oh you know you’re secretly wild for it. It’s not often you get a dog egg this hot and sizzling

 

[Penelope]

I’m listening to this again and seriously aside from the Soviet chanting this is unlistenable!

That is the POINT!

 

[Beverley]

I’m listening to this again and seriously aside from the Soviet chanting this is unlistenable!

Some of us are leaning into our Central Asian roots HARD

 

[ButterTart]

I’m listening to this again and seriously aside from the Soviet chanting this is unlistenable!

It's shit but it's drawn me in, like Hollyoaks in the form of a song.

 

[VoR]

Studio version

 

[RJN]

That cover is a bit

 

[Penelope]

I think I prefer it LIVE!

 

[VoR]

I'm sorry but as unlistenable bangers go, I'll take Sam Tina any day of the week!

 

[Эулия]

I like the Cyrillic but the “song” remains APPALLING

 

[Penelope]

Oh this one (along with Moldova and Azerbaijan) is very much TOP OF MY LIST on unlistenable bangers of the year

 

[Эулия]

There’s a nice rolled R there which Sam Teen does NOT have so I prefer this, even if it is clearly a response to WRITE SONG FAST PLS LITTLE BIG GRUP SICK AND WICKED

 

[Эулия]

Maybe everyone pining for SOVIET DAYS will vote for it and maybe bewildered OVO JE BALKAN fans

OR THEN AGAIN THEY MIGHT NOT

 

[Dark Carnival]

Oh I prefer the studio version! Still here for this being a total mess live!

PAWH WYMAN

 

[ButterTart]

That cover is a bit

Starring Maya Rudolph as Frida Kahlo.

Poor Manizha! Now being investigated for MISANDRY ()

[Lucille]

WHAT?!

 

[ButterTart]

WHAT?!

I can’t see anything in the article about which lyrics in particular are offensive. That Witch Wood song in Norway was much worse.

Борются, борются
Всe по кругу борются, да нe молятся

Good interview in the Guardian today.

‘I won’t allow myself to be broken’: Russia’s Eurovision candidate Manizha takes on ‘the haters’

The singer’s fight against domestic violence and homophobia and her body-positive posts on Instagram have led to a torrent of abuse – some from very powerful people

www.theguardian.com

 

[Penelope]

She comes across as such a good sort. I DO hope she manages to make it through

Also ! at Putin's press officer saying "we don't consider Eurovision a matter for our concern". PULL THE OTHER ONE LUV

 

[Beverley]

Obvs I'm v biased but I just love her

 

[Lucille]

COME BACK TO HACKNEY!!!

 

[Apoca]

Don't be afraid.

DON'T BE AFRAID.

 

[Soldi]

 

[Penelope]

I'd expect a revamp by May, given how much of a blatant rush job this whole thing was.

If they leave it as is, it's a borderline qualifier at best in Heat One.

Love how there wasn't even the faintest hint of them considering this, just a BABUSHKI DALEK SUIT!

 

[Penelope]

I think I might put £20 on this ridiculous racket coming last in the semi

Poor brave Zu continuing her descent into bankruptcy after the infamy of the £50 on Firelight to win in 2014

 

[Suomi]

 

[GinAg (39)]

Still baffled how this got through an entry process, qualified and ended up on stage, representing Mother Russia.

 

[Lucille]

"I love my self DEVILISHLY"

It really is SATAN'S YEAR!

 

[Beverley]

She really is wonderful

 

[VoR]

Love this

 

[Diddy]

I love her, it is a mystery how this happened from Russia but all the better.

After the last few years I might FLIP RED in the Russia-Sweden rivalry

I WILL harp on about the Looklabs, but I loving all the queens loving each other, Cyprus, Malta, Russia, Israel are all loving each other’s messages.

 

[Diddy]

She’s an immigrant too, she was saying. Wiki says she came from Tajikistan
