Russia 2000: Solo
Alsou gave birth to her first child on 7th September
Alsou took second place at the Eurovision Song Contest 2000 with the song Solo. She performed it again at Congratulations, the 50th anniversary Eurovision concert in Copenhagen, Denmark, in October 2005.
Currently Alsou has plans to release an international album titled Inspired which will feature songs like Always On My Mind, I Don't Wanna Fall In Love Again and a duet with hip-hop star Nelly titled I Wish I Didn't Know.
On 18 March 2006 Alsou married Yan Abramov, a Russian millionaire who is said to have dated Mariah Carey among others. Yan allegedly proposed to her with a fireworks display. And several months after the half-million-dollar wedding she was gone to London to give birth to her first child.
However, later on she and her husband left for the USA, allegedly fearing possible terror attacks and health problems of the mother-to-be. On 7th September 2006 after a cesarian Alsou gave birth to a 7-pound daughter at the world-famous Cedars-Sinai in LA.
The medical center, well chosen by the Muslim singer's Jewish husband, is also known as 'the hospital of the stars' where Judy Garland gave birth to Liza Minelli and Goldie Hawn gave birth to Kate Hudson, not to mention hundreds of other Hollywood-star patients.

Zvezda #1 lol thanks for that, if I ever go to Russia, I will make sure that I watch MTV!! Yana rocks. I want her on British TV!! 
HER BEING MUSLIM ISN'T A BIG THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alsou is Muslim? Yan is Jewish! I did not know!

Alex! Yana Churikova is very famous show woman and worked a lot on MTV channel, she's professional journalist...... lol and i love her very much too 
By the way don't think that i'm against UK, or sth like that, no.... that was just a bit of sarcasm. As for 2007 i'm sure we won't get to top 10.... It's kind of rule for Russia, we do well 1 time in 3 (1994 then 2 times bad, 2000 then two times bad, 2003 and again, now 2006..... let's wait until 2009 )
Zvedza, because I have such an empty and pathetic life (lol!) I have calculated Russia's average position in the past 5 years. Your average is 8.2 (10+3+11+15+2 / 5), which is the BEST in the contest. Compare that with our miserable 17.2 (3+26+16+22+19 / 5). You're lucky!
And btw, Brits have nothing against Russians. Why should we? At least we gave you 1 point. We gave B&H none and they came 3rd! I guess that Dima didn't strike a chord with Brits; it's nothing to do with us disliking you!! Certainly I personally like Russia; look on my profile in my favourite countries, and favourite entries, Russia features quite a bit 
Plus your spokeswoman every year gets me in fits of laughter every year! tell me , is she a celebrity in Russia and very famous? She should be!!
LOL Zvezda and like you give us a load of vote! (that was sarcasm btw) I don't know why your complaining that Russia will do poorly its one of the most successful countries resently. If anyone should be complaining it should be the UK, France, Spain, Germany, and poor Portugal!!!
Gary! We won't choose her, cause we don't want second Selma, but Russian...... and by the way, u, dear Europe, won't give her a chance to win. Because she is Russian..... We will get maximum 1 from your dear UK..... or 0 as usual
alsou to represent russia in 2007!! lets start a campaign. i can see why she not wantin fans to see her preggers. still the most gorgeous contestant in esc ever.
For me the best russian entry ever is tAtoo!
ANd one of the worst.......this year !
How could anyone trash Alsou? She may not have been the most polished performer, but she did OK, and her dancers were a hoot. 2000 is one of my favourite years, it was a fun year, unlike the one that followed (yawn). Congratulations Alsou!
Zvezda #1 - thanks for the clarification!! I was a bit confused!
Btw I heard that the Madonna concert was great - I'm not really into her music, but from the sounds of it you enjoyed it!! How was it?!
i agree there-nothing compares to Madonna-lol-they're not even in the same league-although i personally think the 2 shouldn't be compared as they are ENTIRELY different
I said about oil, because Alsou is oil princesss, she's very rich. AS for her perfomance it was absolutely bad, but comparing to that monsters and dinosaurs, who participated in 2000, of course she was the best (the most beautiful for sure ). But her singing and perfomances were trash. As for tastes..... How can we devide tastes? U either have it or not, that's all. Most of all i hate when people estimate sth not because it's unprofessional, but because they don't like or understand it. Is it taste? Anyway Congratulations to Alsou!
P.S. After Madonna's show where i was yesterday, i can say only 1 thing...... Eurovision absolutely s**ks....... Uncompareble.
Zvezda #1 - sorry to ask but how is the fact that Russia is rich in oil relavant in ANY way to the Eurovision?! Iceland has lots of volcanoes, Ireland has lots of Guinness and Spain has lots of flamenco dancers but I don't bring these up because they're irrelevant!!
And why attack Annika so personally because she doesn't have the same taste as you?! Personally I quite liked the song but I don't go yelling at her (metaphorically) because she doesn't share my opinion!!!
Alsou's song was very good and she deserved her position in 2000. Hopefully she will come back and give Russia the victory you really deserve!!!
Annika! What a bad taste you have, dear! What can i say, very very bad. First of all best Russian entry is Alla Pugacheva, as for Dima, he is much better then Alsou, cause he is professional singer, the song is very professional too, with very good arrangements and full of feelings. AS for 2d rank in 2000, guys Russia is rich in oil, Alsou bought her 2d rank, and Dima did it himself, like it or not my swedish *****, but we are second. If u don't like this attitude then u should F off as Madonna sings in I love New York
Who cares what religion she is? she is a good performer and deserves to be recognised as such. Ido i don't know who to take your reaction! is it a good thing or a bad thing she is Muslim for you because really it shouldn't matter. WHO CARES AS LONG AS SHE DOESN'T TRY AND IMPOSE HER RULES ON ME OR ANYONE ELSE AND IS PEACEFUL HOW GIVES A S**T!!!!!!. Again Congratulations to the real news (the important news) i.e. the baby Alsou!!!!
