Russia: Will Nargiz Zakirova sing in Vienna?

The question on everyone's lips is 'Who will represent Russia?' as the national broadcaster are yet to reveal anything about their act. We don't even have a release date. Domestic pop star Sergey Lazarev is rumoured every year and I do think he's great however there's someone else who I would rather see represent Mother Russia. And that's Uzbek born Nargiz Zakirova! This blogger discovered her last year and she is absolutely incredible. Nargiz was runner up on The Voice of Russia in 2013. The heavily tattooed singer would be perfect. She's different - in a good way - has a tremendous voice and with the right song, could bring Eurovision back to Russia. Yep, I love her. We need something unique and special in Vienna! And my dream may become reality because she is being rumoured in Russian media.. Russia's entry will be revealed within the next couple of weeks. Will she be the chosen one? Time will tell. In the meantime, check her out below:

NuVidz: Sergey Lazarev, Mrs. Greenbird, Indila, Tim Schou!

Sergey Lazarev has recently released 7 цифр. It's an awesome pop song. Sergey is tipped to represent Russia in Vienna with Breaking Away. This blogger think he would be a fantastic choice if selected but only time will tell if the rumours turn out to be true. Shine, Shine, Shine is one of the songs Mrs. Greenbird are aiming to represent Germany with. What do you think about their song? I think it's cute. Indila's Love Story is one of my favourite songs from her album Mini World. The official-video for Love Story was released a couple of months ago.. unfortunately, she isn't interested in Eurovision. Finally, Goodbye is Tim Schou's latest song and you can buy it on iTunes if you wish.

Russia: Sergey Lazarev or Alexandra Vorobyova to be selected?

Russia is one of the few remaining countries who are yet to reveal any official details regarding their selection process. Although some media outlets reported some months ago that The Voice of Russia winner will go to Eurovision. This method was used in 2013, when Dina Garipova won the show and then was internally selected to represent the country. In the end she came 5th - will this method be used again? This years edition concluded a couple of days ago and Alexandra Vorobyova won with 55.4% of the votes. Will she be the chosen one? Listen to her cover of Chandelier.

Meanwhile, other rumours suggest that domestic popstar Sergey Lazarev will fly the Russian flag. Apparently he was asked to represent Russia in Copenhagen although decided not to accept the offer due to obvious reasons... He is rumoured every year but will it finally be true next year? Is it only speculation? Enjoy his latest single, and possible Eurovision entry, below:

Sergey Lazarev or Alexandra Vorobyova or someone else for Russia? Who knows...

NuVidz: Mariya Yaremchuk, Sergey Lazarev, Lidia Kopania, Modà feat. Emma!

Mariya Yaremchuk has ditched her hamster wheel and released a song which translates to Against The Wind. Mariya wrote the song when she was only 12 years old. It's very beautiful and it makes me wish Ukraine didn't withdraw... Sergey Lazarev is tipped to represent Russia next year with the song Breaking Away. Apparently, he was going to fly the Russian flag last year but pulled out last minute. Would he be a good choice? Lazarev is one of Russia's biggest stars at the moment. Meanwhile, the beautiful Lidia Kopania has released a new song. Pod słowami is a decent song with a fantastic video-clip to match. And the last song I'll share before Christmas is Come in un film by Modà and Emma Marrone. A fabulous song from these Italian superstars :-)
