ohmigod, losing it - it has been confirmed, the opening night party on the 10th is the 'Legends of Eurovision' concert. YAY RUSLANA! They are saying there are two venues for the party. I imagine the legends will perform at both, but they are saying that there are 2 venues mainly because in Russia during May "the weather can be unstable".

Either way, YES!

I'm gonna have a massive first night in Moscow.

The official clips and versions of songs for Eurovision are starting to be released as the closing date for song submission was 16th March. I think we may have underrated the Albanian act as she's a fantastic singer and the song is now in English. She still can't dance but apparently they have got her Kalomira's (last years Greek entry who came 3rd) choreographer, so that should do wonders for her performance.
I think people are also underrating the Ukrainian act. Its rather sensational with its bondage imagery, but the song is catchy 'baby, baby, you're so fine. be my, be my valentine'. I expect it to do quite well because I know that Ukraine invests heaps to give the best performances
