#Buranovskiye Babushki

[nettle-milk]

Anyone else out there reflecting on this?

Last thing I'll say about Eurovision:

Shout out to the ones who got the second place against Loreen back in 2012. They were also the winners in my heart then <3

Eurovision Fact #437:

Manizha's 'Russian Woman,' which represented Russia in 2021, was the first Russian entry in 12 years to feature lyrics in Russian. 2009's 'Mamo' by Anastasia Prikhodko was the previous song to feature Russian.

It should be noted that the 2012 representatives Buranovskiye Babushki's song 'Party for Everybody' did not exclusively feature English lyrics, but it did not use Russian as the other featured language. It used Udmurt, which uses the Cyrillic alphabet and is spoken within Russia, but is its own distinct language.

MY FAVOURITE EUROVISION ENTRIES: DAY 40 - Russia

Politics aside, Russia has produced some quality songs during their time in the contest, and I genuinely hope that one day they might return, but I don’t see that happening for a while given....events.

Less of the fake “we are one” stuff, and more of the stuff like the Buranovskiye Babushki and Little Big,

Back to 2016 for this entry, although Sergey seems to have a habit of placing 3rd in the contest, having also placing 3rd in 2019

A(n other) 2012 Eurovision gem: Party for Everybody as performed by Buranovskiye Babushki. I would have loved to find the performance from the programme where they chose the Russian contestant for that year; the faces of the judges when the song kicks into gear were worth seeing (plus the babushkas performed better in that version than in the actual competition).

TEDVISION PART 22: Buranovskiye Babushki - Party For Everybody (Russia 2012)

This is #4 of my current Top 5.

LOOK AT THESE GRANDMAS. THEY’RE SO CUTE! THEY LOOK SO HAPPY! THEIR SONG IS SO HAPPY! THEY BAKE COOKIES ON STAGE. I get happy just thinking about them.

The little dance! The sheer benevolence of it!

What MONSTERS didn’t give them first place?

[fun-n-fashion]

“Party For Everybody” by  Buranovskiye Babushki is literally such a joy to listen to. 

Like to start with it’s a bop but then you read the lyrics (if you don’t know Russian) and it’s just this joyful song about getting to see your loved ones and having a party to celebrate everyone being together and it just makes me so happy to listen to.

YouTube, you're supposed to target the ads at the viewers, not the people in the video. Unless it has decided me turning 30 in six months makes me a senior.

Party for everybody!
