Vebooboo: The music never dies, but my interest in this song sure has. Sabina owes a huge thank you to Ell & Nikki for gifting her an automatic berth in the final. To be honest, without that gift I’m not so sure we’d be seeing her on Saturday. Girl can sing, don’t get me wrong, [...]
Anggun is an Indonesian-born beauty with the best cheekbones at Eurovision. Sabina Babayeva is a babe from Baku with eyes as deep as the ocean. Both women can sing. Both women can dress.

We’ve had the luck to interview her in London, and to hear her perform live in Amsterdam, so our opinions are seriously informed. When the music died did we cry? Or did we say “hallelujah”? [...]

Sabina Babayeva has won Azerbaijan’s national selection. It’s rather appropriate that Sabina is representing the Land of Fire because she is seriously hot! Her legs flow like the oil from Azerbaijan’s oil fields, and she’s got bosoms that appear to have been sculpted by the nation’s best plastic surgeon. Recommend on Facebook Share with Stumblers [...]
The streets of oil-rich Azerbaijan aren’t lined with gold, but they are lined with glass.

Nigar Jamal—the sexier half of Ell & Nikki—has just dropped a hot new video for her single “Crush on You.” It showcases Nikki as you’ve never seen her: thrusting, sweating, and showing a whole lot of cleavage.
