I hope Belgium wins the contest this year. The song 'Me and My Guitar' of Tom Dice is so beautiful! http://www.youtube.c(...)/watch?v=GlRq8E_Teoc
This song might be underestimated!
Alex West: I think that "Lost and forgoten" is a beautiful melody whilst its lyrics are not ironic, but describe an ironic situation in life. Just like in "Smoke gets in your eyes" (The Platters, 1957). Perhaps the "girl" of Peter Nalich is that of The Beatles (1975) turned cruel after learning some life lessons.
Has anybody else noticed an uncanny resemblance between him and Syed in EastEnders? 
The irony is; The man is hopelessly in love with a woman of his past, and all he's got left of her is her photo, which his friends urge him to get rid of, to get over it. But in the end, he still wishes she would come back to him. Now that's not funny, but it's wrapped inside an extremely kliché-filled unrequited-love/oh-I-miss-you text, with a deeply depressed voice, bad english and kitschy talk-segment in the middle of the song, which is pretty subtle, but wonderful humour. I wouldn't call it irony, just awesome humour, instead of crap humour like Leto Svet and Baila el chiki chiki
Can someone please explain to me the irony of this???
I guess I don't have a Russian humor lol
Vote for our little final: http://concourseurov(...)ebs.com/esc2010.htm/
Peter is SO CUTE. And his English is impressive. I really hope Russia makes it to the final --- I hated the song, but now I am in love with it!

Is anyone really gonna vote for this church song in eurovision!.... I still don't know why they entered with church song this year!.......
why did you deleted the youtube video, the interview with macedonian contestants? Because it had most views from all your videos?
Russian song reminds me old soviet movies.
I hope it will qualify.
Worst Russain song for years!
This "Snezhochek"-song is sooo cool
Still not sure, if we're impressive enough to qualify
Peter speaks good English for a Russian (no offence). I like this song!
Russia 12 points. I've loved this song from the beginning!
I am quite shocked to hear him speaking English so well, actually all of them. Very unusual thing for Russian people but I am glad to know there are exceptions. But on the stage I would prefer if they were singing in Russian, otherwise it's an interesting song.
Referring to article:
Ironically 
(...that is a GREEK word)
this song was not in my favourites list from the start,
but it has really started to grow on me and, now,
I do not fast-forward or skip it...
He speaks/sings in English with a Russian accent
and that ... "sounds good to me!
What can I do if I like a song when 95% hate it? Keep it as a secret?? Not my style
Goodluck Russia see you in final
Wow! 
That's not everyday you find someone who shares my love for "Lost and forgotten"! I just think everybody would talk bad about the contest if it won (but you're right, who cares? It IS the best song ) Og respekt til dig, min kære norske nabo, for at have en så fantastisk musiksmag
Yeeeeeeyyeyeyey! Another interview!
Best song this year and best voice! 
@Alex West
Of course it would be good for the contest if it won. It's the fans with terrible taste it wouldn't be good for, but who cares about them! 
Look @ this!
It's very emotive

it's a simple logic. I see the Russian entries till 2009, all were very modern and energetic, interesting shows, dancers, fireworks ect. In 2009 suddenly all those were gone, we had a single singer on stage shouting a strange song with a creepy video in the back ground.. I personally liked that after 9 years Russia sending Russian/Ukrainian song (I'm half Ukrainian) and not a "bad english" one.
Go Peter (and friends), you have (at least one) my vote
And, this is not bad song at all - Russia is actually showing how classy they can be if they want - so it has nothing to do with financial issues, only with good taste
I have not doubt that Russia with Peter Nalitch and his Musical Collective will pass through the final. They emerged from an "alternative" movement and have preferred to keep their "Lost and forgotten" far from a commercial tune style. That is choice that more and more people are doing all over the world. Their beautiful melody is not an ironic song but a song about an "ironic situation" in life that many people have passed through. The challenge they have accepted is perhaps opening new ways inside ESC. MUCH SUCCESS - RUSSIA!
I think this is the best song this year. I don't think it would be good for the contest, if it won, but I love everything about this masterpiece. 12 points from Denmark!
GOSH I can't wait for the second rehearsal of Filipa Azavedo and Hera Bjork in the first semi final! I saw Hera's dress, but I'm so curious to see Filipa's!
I hope it will be that AMAZING to help me to survive one more nightmare in the first semi - Alkaios and Friends! Ohh there are too many nightmares in the first semi!
