Everything is done secretly. It seems that they don't have enough interested parties. Good people have no money for this adventure. We have a few names, but they all are unimportant. There are rumours that the timeline for the handover of the candidates' songs was Feb. 21st, and the Final would be on Mar. 5th, but there is no sign of it on Channel One. There will probably be some ex-Star Factory member still in contract with Channel One, or some wealthy singer like Elena Esenina, Pavla or Pyotr Nalich (last years' embarassment), but there are rumours that Glyuk'oza might be chosen. She released a song these days,
Vzmah, for which there is an
English version too (although there are no obvious international ambitions from the singer). But Natasha isn't used to sing live. Another possibility is to invite some Ukrainian with international ambitions, because Russia is in serious lack of young, strong singers. They don't even have great performing acts. Their scene is artistically completely down.
