Russia has chosen it's song for Eurovision 2005
Russia has chosen Belarussian singer Natal'ya Podol'skaya to represent it in the 50th Eurovision Song Contest which will be held in Kyiv, Ukraine in May. The song is called Nobody Hurt No One, (which is a bad translation from the Russian, retaining the double negation).

She also came second in last year's Belarussian selection.
However yesterday it was rumoured that Russian Chanel One fixed the vote so she'd win. I think Anastasiya Stotskaya should have one, her song was much better.
A record 40 countries will participate in this year's contest, with the addition of Bulgaria, Moldova, Lebannon and the return of Hungary.
Meanwhile the Ukrainian song may be disqualified as it is a remake of an old revolutionary song, and one major rule of Eurovision is that the song must be original.

Albania
