Fairly heartfelt singing, and I suspect the song could grow on me.

As a performance though, it's kinda... disjointed. The singer seems off in his own little world and the ice skater looks ignored.

Still, hopefully they'll make it to the finals. More exposure for figure skating is always good.

If I was King of Eurovision, I would require Russia to only send Dima Bilan with Plushenko and T.a.T.u. #ESC2014

YOU CAN'T DO ICE SKATING AT EUROVISION BECAUSE RUSSIA HAD PLUSHENKO THAT ONE TIME AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TOP THAT #esc2014

Waifu Engineer ‏@kurietachan 9h

Sorry Montenegro, but Russia sent an ice skater first on 2007 and it happened to be Olympic medallist Evgeni Plushenko. #ESC2014

Fun Fact: The last skater on Eurovision was for Russia's Dima Bilan back in 2008 - Evgeni Plushenko world champion ice skater

^Thanks for the Twitter reaction. And the video from the past! Does Dima rip open his shirt every time he performs Believe? :laugh:

Seems like Montenegro qualified for the finals, for the first time ever. I guess "pulling a Plushenko" worked. ;)

I also like when the singers sing in their native language:




about Montenegro's performance on Eurovision Song Contest:

Arturo ‏@tarcucciolo 16h

I remember Plushenko ACTUALLY ice skating on ACTUAL ICE for Russia... #Eurovision

Brad ‏@Artsybury 16h

She is no Plushenko though #EurovisionSongContest2014

AnnieD1981 ‏@AnnieD1981 17h

Oh roller skater - reminds me of when Evgeny Plushenko "skated" behind the random Russian entry which won!

Miss Karen ‏@korearian 16h

Sorry, Montenegro, but Plushenko did it better. #Eurovision

Dream catch me ‏@dr3amcatchm3 16h

@Wonders_19 and now rollerblades? Bring back plushenko and his ice skating! I wonder what other gems we are to expect later

Nandia ‏@NandiaD 16h

Sorry Montenegro but Russia already sent Plushenko, can't top that! #eurovision

Josieeee ‏@Dolore7 16h

Plushenko is still the only figure skater I want to see at the ESC #Eurovision


Julia ‏@JuliaFernbau 16h

Russia once brought Evgeni Plushenko (ice skating mega-champion) and won the contest. Don't think is going to work this time

Pacific Quim ‏@emotionalpedant 16h

Remember when Plushenko skated w/the 08 Russian entry? That was amazing. *reveals self to be ice skating nerd* *SMOKEBOMB, RUN* #Eurovision

Insomnia Heart ‏@InsomniaHeart 16h

No one beats Plushenko and his ice skating at #Eurovision though

Rou ‏@cherryinvain 16h

Plushenko is one and only, it's not cool to imitate him guys.

The Big Boss Dwarf ‏@Bossdwarf 15h

@Rockjaw @jadavisdc Greatest #Eurovision still Yevgeny Plushenko on a 6 foot rink https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bawnwSYOCFU … that is some tiny skating.

Juana de Hardcore ‏@MadoriB 15h

Recordad: En Eurovisión Dima Bilan es dios, Edvin Marton Jesús y Plushenko el Espíritu Santo. Y NO LO SUPERA NI CRISTO

I liked the touchscreen floor! :)

Our commentator said that the floor was actually touch sensitive and that's why the lines drawn by her rollers were visible (but I still prefer the idea about sensors in skates :laugh:)!

I don't know why I'm doing this :no: but ok

I don't wanna open a new thread for this, And it's not about skating,

But can anyone please translate this Russian TV moment after the Eurovision result ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4oJJAH6III

Dude in black jacket: Let me say, our girls took 7 place, they're very young, they're only 17 and I want to congratulate them and their parents...
Dude in tan jacket: But it's not 1 place! We have had lots of places... [like place 7].
Dude in black: But they're just schoolgirls!
Dude in red jacket: So, is it possible to be with Europe if it is like that? Our flag will rise over Donbass! (and Youtube video comments start to persuade him that he's very wrong about that)

Don't tell anyone that I speak Russian :)
