Bad Russian Music Video of the Day:
Russia's Entry into the 2007 Eurovision Contest

Most Americans have probably never heard of the annual Eurovision song contest - even though all of the lyrics are in English. Europe's combination of the Olympics and American Idol is a big yawner on this side of the Pond, drawing even fewer viewers than Italian or English Premier league football. Nonetheless, it's a big deal for a lot of Europeans - and some Israelis, since their singers have also taken part, and Russians too.

This year Russia's entry comes from Russian girl band trio Serebro - by the looks of it, brunette Russian versions of Britney Spears, right down to the Michael Jackson Thriller-inspired uniformed choreography.

It's very discouraging to see even Russia wallowing in the sewage that is American pop culture.

Why do you all think we here in Russia admired this crap? One of the worst examples of pop music, which is ruled by dudes with heaps of money but no taste. America invaded Russia with its primitive culture when Yeltsin was in power...
