This year, Russia with special care is going to approach the selection of applicants after the missed speech in 2017 and unsuccessful 2018. This time, the audience will not be able to choose the winner by open voting. Already today is a list of candidates: Sergey Lazarev, Elena Temnikov, Philip Kirkorov, Olga Buzova, Egor Cre, Alexander Panayotov and Singer Manizha.
It is worth noting that the first three performers have already represented Russia in different years and with different success. In 1995, Philip Kirkorov took a place at the competition17th, and his musical number came to the worst lists. Elena Temnikov as part of the Serebro group in 2007 ranked third line. The same result and Sergey Lazarev with the only reservation that the singer in 2016 gathered the maximum number of audience votes, but lost due to the assessments of the jury.
Olga Buzova, according to some editions, can hit the public with a shock music number, and the singer Manizha is to interest a bright creative style. Alexander Panayotov has long since dreamed of submitting Russia on Eurovision and more than once passed qualifying tests, and Egor Cre's tracks are popular not only in our country, but also in Europe. The audience remains to wait for the official announcement and guess whether to someone from the listed musicians bring the country to the victory, as Dima Bilan did in 2008.
