Eurovision promo season is in full swing and organisers of the continent’s various pre-Eurovision parties are busy securing commitments from this year’s acts.

Question for Sergey : Would you like to come to Croatia one day? 🙂
Lol no Ukraine????
@MDc: Regardless of how many inches and all the pink magazine talk from his girlfriends about the size of the microphone … seriously? Not even that can disguise how average his song is or even hide that Sergey is using his sexual magnitude to get more and more votes … and trying to suffocate the anti-Russian booing … Maybe Sergey should consider a career in the p*** industry. Just maybe …

Here’s his first tv performance 🙂
Tonight sergey will do the first tv performance of his song on channel russia.
He had a girlfriend? Really? Well, that’s interesting. I have read on the internet that he has a boyfriend named Dmitry Kuznetsov.
@Vlad: Your joy for everything related about Sergey’s life and participation in Eurovision (including paying attention to all the pink magazine bs his gf says) is beyond my understanding .. kinda reminds me of all those teenage girls screaming for the 1D boys or the rude Bieber … it just has no explanation.
@mdc
Sergey’s ex gf had said in an interview that his thing looks like a pipe and she couldnt grab it with her hand 😀
Charles how many inches do you think Sergey has?
question for kaliopi:
in all honesty, what is your favourite song you have sent to eurovision?
question for ivan:
do you think its risky to use live animals on stage?
To Samra:
How long had it take you and your team to prepare and finish your song?
What are your comments about people saying that your song is too generic and is similar to the songs that were revealed earlier this year?
To Sergey:
You are well-known in your home country for having spectacular choreography in your other songs, may it be in live performances or on your music video like your current entry for Eurovision. How do you ever execute them in a very, very entertaining manner and what is your secret to it?
Lidia:
What will you prepare on stage that may bring back the glory that Moldova always had years ago?
question for Barei: Who are your most important musical influences? and also let her know that this reader sends 12 points from the USA 🙂
@Beatrice: So the current new way to say someone dislikes a song is by accusing it of ripping off another song? Is that a fancier way to say “i hate your song”? I wonder cause I am trying to find a way to tell Sergey that his chorus is nothing else but the same rubbish Azerbaijan presented us in 2013 … but I want to make sure he can still disguise such crap with his physical attributes in the hope of eluding people like you and me and everybody else that he is really singing one hell of a great… Read more »
@Vlad: A much more concerning and urgent question – why do support the Russian desperation to win at all costs? Are you being paid by Sergey or something? I am curious about that as much as sarcastically I believe Sergey is going to show his torso to disguise the average quality of his outdated song.
The Baltic boys, they like to party,
Like nobody, like nobody.
The Nordic light
Will shine all night!
Questions for KALIOPI, Macedonia:
1. Will you include your trademark epic scream on Stage in Stockholm ?

3. How many people will you have as backing vocals/choir ?
Thank you .
Sergey : how many inches do you have?
Spain,Russia,Azerbaijan have the best songs
Sergey: Are you single? You are handsome as hell! xD
Question for Hovi: Why is your song a copy of Molitva?
Question for Sergey: What do you think about our Czech Republic song with Gabriela? Btw. You have my 12 points 🙂
Thanks! <3
Oh really? That’s very good but nothing like Amsterdam or London… sorry!
Qestion for Kaliopi:
Will you vocally improvise with the song on stage and give us the epic scream from Baku?
Marco what are yours?
@ Marco
My all time esc favorites are Loreen and Lordi !!
Both are incredible i cant choose one
Last year my fav was Estonia-super underrated and it was the real winner
This year my winner is Azerbaijan- the most succesful song this year. Cant stop repeating
Charles why are you obsessed with his torso?
Curious detail: no centre or nordic European countries were invited … wonder why?
Pretty sure Sergey will blow the roof of the mother by showing his naked torso to compensate for other things.
Question for everyone: Who was your last year’s eurovision favourite? Or all-time? And this year’s?
Question for Rikka: Who are your favorite artists? Everyone’s saying that you remind them of Sia. Do you see any resemblance? Question for Ira: Will you walk on water in Stockholm :)? Question for Minus One – Why is it Minus One and not plus Two? Where does your name come from? Which rock bands inspire you the most? Question for Barei – How are you always so confident? You never seem nervous and you look like so much fun to hang around with!! ^o^ Question for Ivan: Do ya think that your peepee will get all the boys to… Read more »
Ba-rain, ba-rain
If other contestants are willing to fly over to Moscow for a concert – Sergey better be there loll. I’m sure his schedule is not busier than other contestants’…they’re all doing the same thing.
Question for Sergey:
Who do you see as your biggest competitor in the contest?
Question for Iveta:
The runner-up song to LoveWave (the one that was composed from Sweden) was it a ballad or an up-tempo song and will you sing it after eurovision? Also, can you please tell her that I love her from United States and I can’t wait to see her performance in Stockholm
Question to RYKKA:
Is there pressure being a Canadaian? As the last one was A Winner!
Question For Ira:

question for Ira: did she know anything about Molly Pettersson Hammar before having presented the song to herself, and did she get to meet MPH/speak with her

Well it would be awkward I think if Russia wasn’t invited to the Moscow Gala so it’s not surprising Sergey is there.
WOW !! Go Malta. Go Armenia. Go Israel.
Question for Ira Losco: Will “Chameleon” be released on iTunes and Spotify in the future? 🙂
