1Russia, Ukraine, the Balkans: Eurovision NewsI Rosia, i Iokraina, ny helotanin’ny Balkana: Vaovao entin’ny Eurovision
2The controversy caused by Georgia's Eurovision Song Contest entry seems to be over (or, depending on one's perspective, has reached its climax), now that Georgia has decided not to take part in this year's event in Moscow, following the European Broadcasting Union's demand that the lyrics of the ‘We Don't Wanna Put In' song are either changed or a different song entered.
3Russia's own entry is causing controversy now as well, however.Kanefa dia nampisy fifandirana ihany koa ny hira nampidirin'ny Rosia ankehitriny.
4Andy of Siberian Light explains:Manazava I Andy manoratra ny ny Siberian Light:
5In a move sure to delight conspiracy theorists and bloggers everywhere, Mam[o] by Anastasia Prikhodko was picked to represent Russia at this year's Eurovision.Ahitan'ny mpahita petrakevitra momba ny tsikombakomba ambadika sy ny mpamaham-bolongana fanazavana avokoa ny zavatra rehetra, notsongaina hisolo tena an'i Rosia amin'ity taona ity ny Mam [o] izay nataon'ny Anastasia .
6The controversy?Fifandirana hoe?
7Well, Prikhodko is Ukrainian, and Mamo is sung partly in Russian and partly in - gasp - Ukrainian.Izao e, okrainiana i Prikhodko, ary hiraina ampahany amin'ny teny rosiana sy ampahany miroky teny okrainiana ny hira antsoina hoe Mamo.
8Oh yes, and Prikhodko only entered the Russian qualification contest after she'd been kicked out of the Ukrainian qualification contest. […]Marina fa lany tamin'ny fifaninana tany Rosia i Prikhodko rehefa hita fa tsy tafiditra handray anjara any Okraina […]
9Here are Andy's thoughts on the geopolitical dimension of Russia's entry - and a forecast of sorts:Izao no hevitr'i Andy eo amin'ny sehatra jeopolitika tamin'ny fidiran'i Rosia eo amin'ity sehatra ity:
10[…] Anyways, personally I think it's a bit of a coup for Russia.[…]n'inona n'inona aloha, amiko manokana dia hitako fa misy tsipaka ataon'i Rosia ilay izy e.
11They not only get to put one over arch enemies Georgia, who have entered a grumpy song about how they don't like Putin - they get to claim that in Russia, music is all about peace and goodwill between neighbours.Tsy vitan'ny hoe efa resiny sy nohitsakitsahiny i Georgia, izay nampiditra hira mahasorena milaza ny tsy itiavan'izy ireo an'I Putin - fa dia lazain'izy ireo fa tsy misy afatsy miresaka fahandriampahalemana sy fifampitsinjonvana eo amin'ny mpiara-monina any Rosia.
12Oh, and that they like Ukrainians, really.Ary tena tian'izy ireo ny Okrainiana an.
13And, actually, I think the song's ok - it's not great, but Russia certainly won't be disgraced in May. […]Raha ny tena marina aloha dia tsara ilay hira - tsy tena goavana, kanefa azo antoka kosa fa tsy hitsanga-menatra I Rosia amin'ny volana May […]
14Vasyl of uaMuzik wrote this about Russia's entry - as well as the Ukrainian one:Nanoratra ny mikasika ity hira nampidirin'ny Rosia ity - sy ilay nampidirin'i Okraina - I Vasyl of uaMuzik:
15[…] Now let's go down to ringside here at the WMSC (World Mudslinging Song Contest) to hear he announcer's opening words.Andao isika hijery ifotony ato amin'ny sehatry ny WMSC (World Mudslinging Song Contest) mba hihainoana ny kabarim-panokafana.
16“In the right corner representing the host country of Russia, last year's Eurovision winner, we have from Ukraine, Anastasia Prykhodko singing Mamo.“Eo amin'ny zoro havanana ny mpisolo tena ny firenena Rosia, ilay nandresy tamin'ny herintaona tamin'ny Eurovision, ny antsika avy teto Iokraina Anastasia Prykhodko , hanao ny hira mitondra ny lohanteny hoe Mamo.
17Her opponent in the left corner, formerly of Via Gra, Russia's T&A project for the 21st century, we have Svitlana Loboda!”Ny mpifaninana aminy eo amin'ny zoro havia, mpihira taloha tao amin'ny Via Gra, tao amin'ny tetik'asa T&A an'I Rosia ho an'ny taonjato faha 21, dia I Svitlana Loboda!”
18In all honesty folks, this is really what this whole thing has come down to, for all it's worth.Raha jerena amin'ny fo tsy miangatra dia izay no mahatonga izao toe-javatra izao.
19In fact some Russians are fuming that a Ukrainian, would be representing them at this year's ESC and sing not in solely Russian or English for that matter, but heaven forbid, the chorus of her song in Ukrainian using the vocative case, which doesn't exist in the Russian language… […]Ny marina dia misy ny Rosiana tezitra fa Okrainiana no hisolotena azy ireo ao amin'ny ESC amin'ity taona ity ary tsy hatao amin'ny teny Rosiana madiorano na teny anglisy ilay hira, fa misy voarara, miteny amin'ny teny Okrainiana tsy manana dikany amin'ny teny rosiana ireo mpiara-mihira aminy[…]
20While there is talk of suspected vote-rigging in Anastasia Prykhodko's case, this isn't a uniquely Russian problem.Raha misy moa ny resaka vato mihodikodina alatsaka ho an'I Anastasia Prykhodko, dia tsy ho olan'ny Rosianina irery izany.
21Belgraded - in a review of “Balkan Eurosong losers of 2009″ - writes this about the winning entries:Manoratra izany I Belgraded - teo amin'ny fanitsiana ny “ireo Degany tamin'ny HiraEropa Balkana 2009” (Balkan Eurosong Losers of 2009) mahakasika ireo hira nandresy:
22[…] Connections with the people counting the votes are always important for Balkanian qualification finals, and this year's local competitions were no exception.[…]fifandraisan'ny olon-tsotra amin'ny fanisana ny latsa-bato dia zava-dehibe foana eo amin'ny fiadina ny famaranana Balkaniana, ary ny fifaninana ao an-toerana amin'ity taona ity dia tsy hisy fanavahana.
23To see who had the best connections and/or managed to offer most money to the jury, go to Balkan File. […]Ho hita eo hoe iza no manana ny fifandraisana tsara sy/na mahay mandrindra ny fanakaramana ny mpitsara, jereo ny antonta Balkana[..]
24Balkan File, it should be noted, isn't too optimistic about “Eurovision Hopefuls” from “the former Yugoslavia, plus Albania”:Tokony ho marihana tsara fa tsy dia manana zotom-po ny antonta Balkana (Balkan file) mahakasika ny “fanantenana ananan'ny Eurovision”, avy amin'ny “Yogoslavia teo aloha, sy Albaina”
25[…] Will Eurovision return to the region next year after a short break in Russia?Hiverina eny amin'ny taniny ve ny Eurovision amin'ny herintaona tao aorian'ny fotoana fohy nisian'izany tao Rosia?
26Probably not. […]Angamba tsia [..]
27Back to the actual “losers,” here is what Belgraded writes about the Serbian ones:Andao hiverina ato amin'ireo “Degany” (olon-dresy) ankehitriny isika, ity no voasoratry Belgraded mahakasika Serbiana iray:
28[…] Best Serbian losers we've had in years - they have it all: opera, gay love between the Matrix priest and the high ranking army official, communist babes, and opera.Ny Serbiana degany (olo-dresy) indrindra nananantsika nandritra taona maro - ananan'izy ireo daholo ny karazany maro: ireo kidaladala mpanao hatsikana, ireo pelaka tia fiarahana amina mpisorona na miaramila ambony grady, ireo vehivavy jila komonista, ary ireo mozika marisidrisika sy milanto.
29Yes, I know I already said opera.Eny, fantatro fa efa noteneninko ny mozika marisidrisika sy milanto.
30Some people claim to hear ‘Bohemian Rhapsody' and ‘You'll never walk alone' tunes in there somewhere but I just can't concentrate enough to spot them. […]Ny olona sasany milaza fa naheno ny feon-kira an'I “Bohemian Rhapsody” sy ny hoe “ You'll never walk alone” (tsy andeha irery intsony ianao) teny ho eny kanefa tsy ho vitako kosa aloha ny manara-maso ny misy azy ireny e.

33Let's be honest, if there would be just some good songs with traditional performance, nobody would watch Eurovision Contest.Aleo isika ho mari-toetra, raha toa ka hoe hira kanto manaraka ny fomba efa mahazatra no hita ao dia tsy hisy olona hanatrika ny fifaninana Eurovision akory eo.
34It's a magnet because you know it can get embarassing! […]Misy ny hery misarika satria fantatrao fa mety ahamenatra ilay izy! [….]
