Polina Gagarina — Russia’s glamorous Eurovision 2015 singer — was a vision in white in Vienna (and everywhere else since then). But in her new video for the song “I Will Not”, she goes dark — and in more ways than one.
The video opens with a black-haired Polina discovering that her man is a bit of a playboy with a wandering eye (and presumably a wandering set of hands). So she dies her hair blonde, throws on a mask, and pulls a fast one on him by luring him from a nightclub to his hotel room. Unaware that he’s just cheated on Polina with, um, Polina, he falls asleep and she takes a series of selfies — without her mask. He’s shocked when he wakes to discover what just went down.
According to her YouTube description, the song uses dance music to “seriously reflect on the eternal question of the relationship of man and woman.” The EDM accents have quite a bit of edge, and showcase a new side of Polina. We love it — and the lyrics of a woman finding herself amid her man’s wrongs. “I will not wait for you anymore, gonne leave you in the past,” she says. “Now you don’t mean a thing to me.”
Are you loving this as much as us?
Who remembers Russia’s Serebro trio, particularly the lead singer Lena Temnikova- the only one who could actually sing? So, she left the group and started a solo career. There are already few songs on YouTube. Not bad.
The guy looks like a cross between Tim Schou and Vaidas Baumila
… another dance track … the most genius move, so original and so unexpected … like no one else in Eurovision has ever followed through with such “brilliant” idea …
… at least it’s sung in Russian and not in the same old same old lame English with a completely “never-heard-before” lyric … like the ones that are of the English sung-verbal-diarrhea at Eurovision.
This would be perfect for Eurovision!
I agree it was an ingenious video for this song.
Btw, It’s Iveta Mukushyan’s birthday today.
Love it. Excellent song.
Tick Tock.
It is like a part two of her other song “Shagay”. I find it more awesome when she sings in Russian in this kind of way. It is very authentic and mysteriously appealing.
From the song to the video, it’s complete perfection. LOVE IT!
so her idea of revenge is going all that trouble and have revenge sex with her husband? i’m confused.
i love the song tho. A+
