He is the red hot favourite to take the Eurovision crown this weekend when it screens live on BBC1. Sergey Lazarov must first get past his semi- final heat tonight, but it seems that nothing can stand in the way of the Russian romping to victory. He is a huge star back home, but we knew nothing about the man who would be king in Stockholm. Until now. Did you know that he has a booming sideline in making cakes for dogs, played an award-nominated Romeo and some parts of his body are unusually long while others are rather hairy? It's time to get into bed with sexy Sergey. SCROLL DOWN FOR 11 CRAZY FACTS ABOUT SERGET LAZAREV. Sergey Lazarev is stripped and striped for success. Related articles. 1. He's no fool: Sergey was born on April 1, 1983 in Moscow. He wisely performs under the shortened version of his full tongue-twisting name, Sergey Vyacheslavovich Lazarev. 2. Great British Bake Off beware: If music doesn't work out for the Russian star, he can always fall back on his burgeoning cakes-for-dogs business. Yes, we are serious. It is a reality show waiting to happen. Sergey's shop "Poodle-Strudel" supplies custom-made pastries and confectionary for pooches. The business was inspired by his own dog Daisy, who he rescued from a shelter, and took him about two years to set up. Prices start from 10 euros plus shipping. 3. He's not an orangutan. Sergey told Russian Hello Magazine that he started shaving at 14 due to an excessively "fluffy" upper lip and that he has to have his suits altered thanks to his "unusual arms, they are longer than usual." 4.

Do you have a (lucky) routine before you go on stage? No I don’t have a lucky routine. Before I go to stage I just stay alone and concentrate on what I have to do.

Watch “I’m Not Afraid” by Sergey Lazarev. If you thought Sergey Lazarev has gone quiet since taking part in this years Eurovision with the dramatic entry “ Scream ,” you couldn’t be more wrong. After coming third in the competition, the singer returned back to Russia, unleashing a new album during late summer. While I haven’t talked about the release on the blog as yet. I had my ears over the new tracks upon release in August. It has been my hope Sergey would unleash something spoken in English from the latest collection because the entirety of the “ Ya Ne Boyus ” (“ I’m Not Afraid “) album, has been sung in Russian. I thought my lucky day had come after noticing that a video for the title track “ I’m Not Afraid ” had arrived, not least because of the English title it had been given. Again, it seems my hopes have been thwarted, as it turns out the video features the song once again sung in Russian.

  • Lordi Killection
    Lordi Killection Release January 31, 2020 Genre Hardrock / Heavy Metal Producer Studio Cover Artwork Mr. Lordi TIP Photographer Nobody knows exactly how old the Finish monsters really are or how long they’ve been striking terror into people’s hearts. Officially the Rock/Heavy Metal monsters LORDI were founded in 1992 by lead singer, songwriter, visual art designer and costume designer Mr. Lordi. The band has deep Finnish roots, originating from the city of Rovaniemi, in Lapland. In 2006 they celebrated their international breakthrough by winning the Eurovision Song Contest (“Hard Rock Hallelujah”) They are Finland’s only winners to date and they earned more points than any other artists in the history of the Eurovision Song Contest up to that time. But is it possible that this is only a pale misperception of our poor, small, pathetic reality? Is there, however unlikely it may seem, another truer reality? What if LORDI would have already been making music since the early 70's? And what if they have been releasing one hit single after the other since those times and now, almost 50 years later, are looking back on a full collection of songs that have been successful ever since? This is exactly the idea that LORDI are celebrating, or maybe a more appropriate word is executing, with their newest studio album “Killection.” Killection will be released on January 31st via AFM Records/Soulfood Music. Once more Mr Lordi, the master of the masquerade, presents us with one of his ideas, absurd and genius at the same time, and comes up with a concept that has never been done before in the music industry: "Killection" is a compilation album that simply says “what if” LORDI had been in existence since the early 70's.

  • Ryssland Vinner Eurovision Song Contest Enligt Spelbolagen
    2008-05-13 14:16 CEST Ryssland vinner Eurovision Song Contest enligt spelbolagen 2008 års Eurovision Song Contest i Serbiens huvudstad Belgrad närmar sig och utbudet är större än någonsin. Sveriges Charlotte Perrelli finns med bland favoriterna, men vinner det gör Ryssland. Åtminstone enligt spelbolagen som har sjönsångaren Dima Bilan med låten "Believe" som favorit. Dima kom tvåa för två år sedan efter finska succén Lordi och är nu stor favorit att ta hem tävlingen. På www.oddsonline.se hittar du de bästa oddsen, favoriterna och tv-tiderna inför den stora finalveckan. Dessutom följer vi evenemanget från det att den första artisten stiger upp på scen till dess av en vinnare utsetts. För första gången i Eurovision Song Contests långa historia kommer tävlingen i Belgrad att avgöras med två semifinaler för att plocka fram de bästa bidragen till den stora höjdpunkten, finalen där 25 bidrag kommer finnas med. Med andra ord finns det stora möjligheter att hitta bra odds även i de båda semifinalerna som avgörs tisdagen den 20:e respektive torsdagen den 22:e maj. Sverige tävlar i semifinal 2, torsdagen den 22 maj. Charlotte Perrellis "Hero" är femtehandsfavorit hos spelbolagen inför tävlingen.

Norge, Finland och Island tippas alla hamna mellan plats 15 och 20 av spelbolagen. Danmark tros få det ännu tuffare och tippas hamna utanför finalen. Hur det går ser ni lördagen den 24 maj, i finalen från serbiska Belgrad. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Om Odds Online Betting på nätet har under 2000-talet blivit omåttligt populärt, inte bara bland sportintresserade utan även hos gemene man.

  • Thirty Years Gone by a Message from Executive Director, Gloria
    Thirty Years Gone By Throughout the last thirty years many things have changed from the invention of cell phones, home computers, and the internet, to advances in science and medicine. We have seen war and political change – the fall of the Berlin Wall, Operation Desert Storm, the end of apartheid in South Africa, the collapse of the Soviet Union, Hong Kong’s return to China, plus too many more to name. However, throughout all the changes, several things have remained the same, including the passion and dedication with which Our Lady’s Inn still serves its clients. The Inn may have changed locations over the years, but the mission has remained the same – to provide shelter for pregnant women and their children through humble acts of love. Throughout the last thirty years, over 5,000 women and their children have lived at Our Lady’s Inn and over 1,500 babies have been born here due to the wonderful care their mothers received during their residence. In 2006, Our Lady's Inn expanded to include St. Charles and opened a second location in Defiance and, in 2008, our Twice Blessed resale shop was opened as a way to make extra money to support the organization. We are looking to the future and are excited to see what the next thirty years will bring, but one thing is for sure, no matter what else is happening in the world, Our Lady’s Inn will still be here working hard to provide the best possible care for these amazing ladies and their children, who are simply in need of a helping hand.

  • 'Gay Olympics'?: the Eurovision Song Contest and the Politics of LGBT/European Belonging Catherine Baker
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository@Hull - CRIS The ‘Gay Olympics’?: The Eurovision Song Contest and the politics of LGBT/European belonging Catherine Baker (University of Hull) Accepted for publication in European Journal of International Relations Abstract The politics of gay and transgender visibility and representation at the Eurovision Song Contest, an annual televised popular music festival presented to viewers as a contest between European nations, show that processes of interest to Queer International Relations do not just involve states or even international institutions; national and transnational popular geopolitics over ‘LGBT rights’ and ‘Europeanness’ equally constitute the understandings of ‘the international’ with which Queer IR is concerned. Building on Cynthia Weber’s reading the persona of the 2014 Eurovision winner Conchita Wurst with ‘queer intellectual curiosity’, this paper demonstrates that Eurovision shifted from, in the late 1990s, an emerging site of gay and trans visibility to, by 2008–14, part of a larger discursive circuit taking in international mega-events like the Olympics, international human-rights advocacy, Europe/Russia relations, and the politics of state homophobia and transphobia. Contest organisers thus had to take positions – ranging from detachment to celebration – about ‘LGBT’ politics in host states and the Eurovision region. The construction of spatio-temporal hierarchies around attitudes to LGBT rights, however, revealed exclusions that corroborate other critical arguments on the reconfiguration of national and European identities around ‘LGBT equality’. Introduction The theoretical interventions of Queer International Relations, which recognise how sexualities and gender non-conformity are embedded in international politics, have ‘transformative’ potential for International Relations (Langlois, 2015: 1).
