market why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with much stronger or a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into cars a report. that's have a look at the headlines out here. western ukraine marks victory day with a vicious display of nationalism near the nazis attacked a veteran's voices profile just slogans ripped commemorative some george ribbons from people's clothing. tetchy talks between the u.s. and china have been paid lip service to competition and cooperation was evidence from both winterreise held discussions but america appears unwilling to use its massive spending and sense. data is accused of vengeance for of course of the

ignoring distress calls for birds to carry them in the philippines says the people on board all thought it's only the first and hunger to spend two weeks drifting in and removed. next l.t.s. algal all three interviews are russia's contestant for the upcoming eurovision competition. if. hello again oh welcome to spotlight the interview show and i would say i am now doing all that and today my guest in the studio is i like see what are the off. two years ago i russian saying i did my beloved one day here

a visual song contest that was the first time in history by russian top the press they just list today another ambitious guy from moscow is aiming to become europe's number one how is the plan to do that here's the russian start of this year's to hear a version song contest i didn't see but i've got. in two thousand and eight russian singer jima belong to form the great show with figure skating champion pollution good and violinist and remark on the song was voted the best and the next year russia hosted the contest and made it an unforgettable about this inspired jerry sr i would say but i feel who's aiming to beat off all of the contestants on his way off and that's what softly.

great. fun. for. me. well you see how spontaneous was this decision had to take part to qualify for the eurovision and who actually took the final decision and. try to go to have a vision two years. two times before. or from the beginning and i'm i

want to see it made which is not perfect. you know my memory it's better than my singing and i hope so. even here so and for me it's a you know it was not some in you decision or something. here you know it's you want to to take part in what can you explain because all the people all the people around all say well this era of vision is really nothing it's only like like like like like a european show whatever but people want to do that why would i need to feel special for the you know a for for somebody it's a promotion or a motion of being a new song can just be our or something like this but for me it's really very important thing because. repairs in my country and and now in this year i represent a new product or project or fred one for us it's very important we're starting now

in the provision in starting in you wrote a leg russian artists. so. who do you see as your principal rivals and your vision because according to william hill the number one rival is the favorite is a frenchman called a maori vassili he who not for sale also also the norwegians the brits estonians and the germans so so. the theory anybody of them has and has your eye. this year is very good. like competition because we have a lot of very professional and good singers and you know without some freak show on a stage in an interview because. it's not circle for me. if i did i want to be with the with a good team you know. for me i like. the.

australian girl she has a very good very good voice it was really young australians and of course everybody talk about blue in england i think. i mean mean decision and mean role it's their own you provision on the stage because everybody can see anything but there you can do everything the russian wouldn't do maybe learn who i would be mentions he won because mostly because of the wonderful choreography wonderful voice and wonderful russian curry on her feet are you going to do something and say he's not one of wonderful career graffiti it was very good to. see of getting the fruit that he wanted before that remember you were before then he didn't want the believe it but he was second in the car rather from his beautiful so are you going to do something something to surprise the probably the

reason is going out to the piano or figure skating or maybe something like this is one of. those for not just a few. surprises in your act yes yes a little bit but not so much because for me or talk about it i told him about it you think you know like frictionless yes and i don't like circle and it's very important thing so of course we're going to do very serious and you know very modern it will be well my team from sweden my dancers my back all calls because red one he's from sweden and of course you know the old management from sweden too and it will be a very european very. little bit. usually we're going to do you know something russian. quote from you so here's what you said i

quit my. a girl who is not only to win the contest but also to destroy the steering that russian musicians are out of the world context and corrupt so who is out of the world context who are starsky please no more here but years before golf car boot man who else is out of the woods musical content very good situation very good but here i hope you understand that i talk about a more than using music after hers because we know from america a lot of artists from. but from a lot of country really ricky martin and ricky bliss is shakira it's a different countries everywhere we most of them are from england and america. yes yes because this really anglo-saxon culture in northern germany. sometimes some

regions get fashionable right when apple was from sweden here it was a full stop that's it. but. russians to say the world hears of course oceans we should really ask. you something it's a good state though there were people sitting right here for from the russian girl russian cabinet minister who talking about russians doing automobiles i see why should we do those all of those i mean those ladders who are a joke let's do taxes do airplanes so the central park music was do cheap ascii were let's do our progress only wonderful music wonderful voices why should we try to beat americans in jazz or what are you using i mean what do you think we need it's a christian we need to do that and you shouldn't from me i don't want to hear anymore you know something from eighteenth in russian radio stations i want to do something

new modern and. young boy you know and i want to break through suck and i want to do something new in music and we have. have a lot of very good musicians and it's good and it's great. but where we can have something more in part music in you if you thought of all it's like playing football doing automobiles this is not the russians who are everybody is going to think like you but that's not true. well it songs have been labeled bubblegum pop it's voting has been called biased one of the most popular international t.v. shows the eurovision song contest has always divided opinion spotlights even to the new director as more. it might have been just about the best song back in one thousand fifty six when only seven countries took part in the first ever your

vision song contest now with five times as many participants it's becoming harder and harder to guess what you should sing only quite soothing voters hearts performers try hard to impress bizarre post tunes and who are great on stage they are tricks to make your vision critics argue it's no more than a freak show perhaps the audience is tiring of the more elaborate offerings as last year most votes were given to german youth and then a mayor lendrick favored a very simple black dress and had no stage their tricks whatsoever despite claims that the contest is purely for entertainment political controversies have been popping up around your vision for the western european fans have criticised the eastern neighbors for voting for each other in what they call a walk and not the best songs winning the contest surprisingly does not guarantee

the singer international fame and its fifty year history they have been very few really famous winners but in one thousand seventy four and soon do you own in one thousand eight hundred eight among the exceptions despite all of the controversy that's taken part in your vision is still considered a matter of national prestige in most of the participating countries. will it be your comment is it about music about sports or about politics eurovision i think i'm not really like. so for me of course that's some music. that's a sport because if i do and i'm professional musician i can do in my work and i can think about something or someone out of things says i really feel that i be off the signal representing russia on this here's your vision song called spotlight will be back shortly why dots are breaks and delta.

wealthy british style sun. has been tied to the tide of. markets why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with much stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to cause a report on r g. the.

mind in the machine would be so much brighter if you knew about someone from feinstein freshened some of. these for instance on t.v. dot com. that's .

welcome back to spotlight i now do not i'm just a reminder that my guest in the studio today is alex even to be of the russian star of this year's eurovision song contest we're talking about the views you can take from talking with alex seem so by the way you go to david bowie t. shirt and you know what does that mean some of your bowie fans. to be honest i am a fan of elvis presley and the name of my dog is elvis i am really a fan of elvis business i think it was great artist really are all your eldest the shoes that are in the laundry yeah. it's a very you doing very funny dirty that's way for them with i love david bowie but i think nothing of ok listen. why why do. you know the shooting

of a concert which you know so when we eat such a strange pattern of voting people are not voting for the songs because because most of the songs they they they are pretty much similar people voting for countries people voting for people for personalities and for countries is that is the. i think sometimes people vote for you know for show when they see there's something special in some and they remember it and vote for it if their way of course but. usually. i agree that it's a little bit politician and. that's why i think any provisions on count as they did you know this special jury and they. go to. i think it's not so fair about it. this isn't the only thing you do you enjoy

singing in english. i like it i like to sing in english. with the scene in yes because it's a it's a comfortable language for forcing and for quite music for everything for rock'n'roll you know your sisters yes. i believe you left me. and i found a place with well yes very comfortable using it to russian. women are. on the show know me ask for the oil and say. i messed up i will it. sounds. ok let's. you be wearing an eurovision barwell well i was designed by a guy a swiss designer who made clothes for shakier yes. i mean this is purely cosmopolitan to some that you be saying you were in the beginning this

isn't so russian girl it sounds like you can make an american product and you admitted that you know you your costume is so we're so so nothing russian and this is runs no what's real shot of course not because i'm from russia and i love my country really did you know who's you know you're from russia no no no no you begin in the beginning of some level scene in russian a little part i wrote it just for you provision and went in the bill be contest or you know a little part it's a lake and that lake fall apart absolutely in russia and nobody will understand only you mean never. talking russian after we're going to do this more than the sound you know and i did it because i want to combine you know my something from my country and this absolutely modern. you know america this time. but you know. mice

in my suit yeah there's a hostage to my question for this show. like something lady gaga or something like this i was upset. because. i'm the freak you know and i don't want to be something strange. good chance of your vision and he said at least look like when you like you remember you remember those already. and. that's what i wanted. so maybe i can change something because i'm i have time. you why numerous contests while playing an accordion which can be considered as a russian nationalism is called the gutter mushed a year really why don't you use a bigger version. you know i use it's a nice couch it's like the while in that norwegian guy with my with again you know what we what we do use it. because i think it will be so much in in you

know in a lot of country everybody i think that we have on the street and everybody dream in edina you know and it's we're going to break through it and do something new and change something in their mind and i want to because. because i'm young and i want to change everything you know listen you have found this new producer the red one the guy who found me or you find you since it was he who value you used to produce lady gaga rain or sleet a guy going to ricky glistens on for usher wanting your why did you find you didn't do what did he say to me your younger way i want to use betting on you he's going to make make his money building a new. you know in america and in europe they do. they do work in another week because in our country.

producer can know is seen by himself and just put somebody on the stage and him will have money and it's it doesn't matter for free him what what is this honesty trade not him and he can change everything back in america. and they just take some personality and all that and they have. already everything if this guy. musician good singer everything he can to some. actor everything and that's it's a great deal for them because they don't want to do you know more vor more work and . so just to say you're a good rule or material for them i mean i think you really have a story down here because his saw a lot of maybe doing you tube and cold to my management in russia and told that he

it it's really a mission to russia so here i had thought you know well i like a food book you must learn how much i'm afraid we don't. know much no no no it will be no that's interesting how much do i cost to us without money because for me it's you know it's something you know what he paid to do your managers you know is he working with me here are they doing when from my minute year of high horses a great deal so he bought your international scene of course on the right he met i'm just he's an artist but my oh my management here and work with me and they had me because it's a you know something it's like history of cinderella so it's not like i'm jewish i've been moving to to play for course now looking for it now listen you already store it in forty movies you wrote soundtracks for about eleven groschen films i mean why didn't she he was your own song to go to your vision i mean do they know the. enough. because he didn't even make an original video pollution video why.

i will do it please to hear in the course of the revision we're going to do and you'll be doing. with the new style and everything but for vision and for my country and for russia it's it's cool when. when this song you know such a big producer of the world wrote it special for for me and it's not only one song because a lot of russian artists bods you know songs from big producers but after nothing we signed a contract and it's not just only for one song for the whole album and work work work more we didn't release this out we were working on it now they are so good yes of course in los angeles where we are right when is it. you know you're recording rig thing. we're recording studio we have and now we have for you or for songs
