Details from Euro Video Grand Prix 2006
On 3rd of June the Euro Video Grand Prix 2006 took place. It’s one of
the main annual cultural European events. Our country was represented by
Dima Bilan with his video “Never Let You Go”.
In our opinion videos "Kak hotel ya" and "Vremia-reka" were more suitable
for this contest, but the organisers of Euro Video Grand Prix insisted on
the "Never Let You Go" video, because this song is more popular in other
European countries.
For the first time international jury board included Russian
representative - Ms. Yana Rudkovskaya. And as we
participate for the first time we may consider that our 5th place there is
a very good result. Russia gave high points to its neighbors – Ukraine,
Belarus and many other countries, while Georgia and Ukraine did not give
any point to Russia. These countries were the only countries that did not
give any point to Russia. For instance, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Croatia
gave us the highest points. It is OK, but the conclusion could be the
following: we shouldn’t rely on other countries, only on ourselves and
on the quality of our songs and singers. It is a double work and our state
should take care of it as well. The Russian Government should take care of
it and this work shouldn’t be made by some businessmen. So coming back
to Euro Grand Prix 2006 we are happy anyway, because the 5th place is a
perfect result!

18.05.2006 Attention! We invite you to the chat-room.
Today after Dima's Bilan appearance in the semifinal of the contest of«Eurovision2006» in the chat-room discussion of the number will begin
Introductory number in Greece style-four statues, a dancer goes brown under the ceiling. L'amour bleu, A-ba-ni-bi, Diva, Waterloo, Wild Dances and My Number One.
Armenia-
very strange costume, in the beginning of his turn Andre wore like a hood. Apertured beck looked like as a piece of a Holland cheese.
It is a strong appearance and he has chances to qualify for the finale.
Bolgaria-
subsequent strong appearance, but after Armenia and under number 2 she has not many chances. Good vocal and a good dress.
Slovenia -
Dejan in a white suit, nothing extraordinary, beck in red and orange.
Andorra -
catastrophe how they could dress up such bodies in such kind of brothel red costumes?
Belarus - red dress with deep d'collet, a shirt of body color under it. Nothing extraordinary but her appearance suits the number.
Albania-
no changes in his appearance and we doubt that he has not any chances to go to finale.
Belgium -
in orange. An iron finalist although he sings beside the mark but the number is really strong ?C and la Stenmark with luminous microphonic channel terminal bays and big number of pyrotechnics in the end.
Ireland -
very strong appearance. If Europe will like the ballad especially considering the fact that she goes after Belgium and after another ballad of Cyprus? Unfortunately we think that Ireland can not qualify for the finale despite its advertising.
Cyprus -
a yellow dress replaces frog clothes. Appearance is good but we do not see this song among finalists. Level of appearance is not so good as it was last year under Shari Mayhmon.
Monaco-
our reporter considers that this is a fine turn with half naked dancers in costumes in Tahiti style suited the song perfectly which has no resemblance with anything. Considering the fact that vocal is weak we do not see this number in the finale.
Macedonia -
it seems we see Macedonia in the finale for the same reason as it was last year. Rather unintelligible number with not clear costume.
Poland
continues experimenting with languages. This is a vain attempt and despite we respect MackKoya and we were Keine??s Grenzen admirers we do not consider her as a finalist. Our reporter considers that costumes and masks are super but in general the number is overloaded.
Russia-
objectively this is the best number. We were afraid that Dima's motion would
contrast the classic dance of ballerinas but everything looked like very harmonically. He is the finalist of 100%.
Turkey - mixed language version is carried out. We think she is on the edge of entrance. The reporter of ESCKaz considers that it is a wonderful number. Crossed hands at the sight of stars and other elements of choreography remind of Elena Papariz.
Ukraine-
there is no flying heart yet which leaves us in a mess, it is still advertised as the main moment of appearance. Ukraine balances on the border. ESCKaz is afraid that this number won??t produce impression on not Slavic countries.
Finland- a champion on utilizing pyrotechnics. We hope that second staff reporter of ESCKaz sat in the hall in one of the first rows went through this show safely. Finland has chances not only to qualify for the finale but to win in the contest.
Netherlands-
very cheerful appearance, but most likely no than yes.
Lithuania-
It looks more horrible on TV screen than from the hall. Lithuania won??t stay with nought, most likely humor will be estimated but she can not go to finale.
Portugal-
it looked quiet better from the hall without costumes. There is impression on the screen with those costumes as if flock of parrots learned artless motive. Costumes like gymnastic thrust body stocking and with feathers on some places. It is disgustful.
Sweden-
after Portugal Karol's golden costume looks like magnificent. It is quiet good visually and in general. Karol goes on the stage, is blown by wind turbines and fan by flags.
Estonia- Our reporter supposes that Estonia and Sweden both will qualify for the finale most likely than they will concede each other. It is very stable appearance.
Bosnia
?Cthe number reminds of Serbia 2004. Although our reporter thinks that Chari has not even 10 fraction of Jelko??s charisma and it is better to listen to the number than to watch. This the finalist.
Island - we are afraid that Silvia Hott can not play as Anjelica Agurbash and will overstep the limits of ten. Visually we can compare her appearance with Finland singer but unlike Island Finland has a strong song as well which will pick voices. The word f*** is in the text of the song until today.
ESCKaz considers that the following countries will qualify for the finale: Finland, Russia, Bosnia, Sweden, Macedonia, Belgium, Armenia, Estonia. Island, Turkey, Ukraine, Ireland, Slovenia are on the edge of the finale.
According to the site: http://esc.ruz.net/
18.05.2006 Eurovision 2006 Day 7

On imposing appearance the Athenian contest impresses. Representatives of 37 countries will take part in it including the Russian singer Dima Bilan. Dima??s task is not easy one because last year Natasha Podolskaya under flag of Russia ?±slid?± only place 15. Our country has to prove its right for participation in the finale of Eurovision 2006. Today Dima Bilan under number 13 got by toss-up will sing the song ?°Never let you go?± in the program of semifinal the preliminary stage. If he holds place below 10 he will go to finale where on May 20 he will meet with the strongest contenders. According to prognosis of experts Bilan??s chances are estimated not badly: about position 6. According to promotion in internet our singer is in the lead in several Europe states, so we expect support from these countries whose ?°telephone voices?± will define the fate of our singer.

Dima’s Bilan press-conference was held

Commentaries of various experts respecting Russia.
Satori (ESCKaz): Unfortunately I have no possibility to compare Bilan’s rehearsal to the previous one but I am impressed by Bilan’s turn. It is nice that Russians have invented a new “ chesspiece ” and show that unlike Scandinavians and Irish at the piano it is possible to sit, to stand on the piano, as well to get out. I have not any remark concerning vocal. The song is prepared well and sounds perfectly from the hall. I like that Dima finishes his performance catching petals from the girl at the grand piano and pressing them to the heart. This little gesture, “a trifle” just hits the mark .
Ęĺéň Ěčëëń (ŔĘÎĹ): It is indisputable that Dima comes to the final at ease. If you find a place to stake on smb. (4/1 and high), you can stake on this song , it will win in the semifinal…Yes it is so perfect.

Recently pop diva of Greece stage Anna Vissi was on a visit to Dima s Bilan office. During reception Dima and Anna showed video versions of the songs which would be presented in Eurovision 2006 . After watching Dima s clip Ann said that he was the real applicant for victory. Then she got acquainted with materials for the new album. She saw all his awards as well and realized that Russia had a worthy contender. But the main thing was that she considered him not only as the actor but really the kind, sensual and sympathetic person. After Dima and Ann asked to finish video shooting and continued dialogue without ties . On completing the meeting Anna invited Dima to Greece for reciprocal visit.
