Russia could be on the brink of winning the Eurovision Song Contest.
This year it was not a 20-something girl in a short, sparkly skirt who won over the Russian voters – but a group of six gorgeous little grannies, Buranovskiye Babushki - and I love them!
This is my favourite one! She is the star of the show… (Just so cute).
To make them even more amazing, they beat off fierce competition from the Russian superstars, Dima Bilan and Yulia Volkova . Dima had previously achieved 2nd in the Eurovision in 2006 and then went on to win it in 2008. Yulia was no stranger to Eurovision either, having competed as half of t.A.T.u in 2003, coming 3rd. They were the act to beat…
And boy those Russian grans beat them to a pulp.
I don’t know what I enjoyed more – Watching the grannies sing and dance on stage or seeing the facial expressions of Dima and Yulia as the cameras swung past them as the winning song was performed. TV classic!
So, now Russia are second favourites to win the whole contest in just over two weeks in Baku.
Do they have what it takes?
Take a look at their performance in the Russian National Final.
