Exclusive video interview

Happy Valentine from Ruslan Alehno

Ruslan Alehno, the Belorussian ambassador in the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest, visited Athens recently to take part in TV shows on major Greek channels, do photo shoots and experience the Greek cuisine. Esctoday.com caught up with Ruslan during a photoshoot break, we had a chat and even got him to sing Hasta la vista in Russian exclusively for our readers.

Ruslan Alehno, accompanied by BTRC executive Anastasiya Tichanovich spoke to us about the stage the preparations for Belgrade are currently in. Anastasiya stated that certain changes have been made to the song, mainly in the lyrics. There will also be changes in the arrangement and the production of Hasta la vista.

Since he won Eurofest, apart from Greece, Ruslan has already been in Montenegro and Lithuania to participate in the respective national finals as a guest. On the 23rd of February he is going to be in FYR Macedonia for Skopjefest 2008, on the 3rd March in Bosnia. He will also visit Ukraine and he spends a lot of his time working in Russia.

He actually looks quite cute in that photo (the main one in the article)... ;) But his song is still nothing special.

Well, initially I didn't like his song ...Later, after listening to other entries and comparing his song to them I can say that he has a chance to qualify to the final...What if he can't speak English? Ruslana won in 2004 lol! And I like the fact that he's modest, a down to earth person and not a ''diva'' like Koldun. Go Ruslan, good luck!

Oh dear good!
He cannot sing, he cannot perform, he doesn't look good, he doesn't speak English (she's not that good at it either)... but he goes to ESC! The world is SOOO unfair!
