Potential applicants for the role of Russia's representative at Eurovision 2020

After the drawing of lots for the performances of participants representing different countries at Eurovision 2020 took place on January 28, many versions of who will represent Russia at this music competition began to appear on the Russian-language Internet.

The names of the most famous and most odious representatives of show business were named:

• Sergey Shnurov;
• duet of Nikolai Baskov and Philip Kirkorov;
• Olga Buzova;
• Aljay;
• Nikita Dzhigurda and others.

Until recently, the Internet and the media also featured the assumption that the singer Alexander Panayotov is the one who will go to Eurovision 2020 from Russia. The source of such unconfirmed information was an interview with composer Igor Krutoy, who said that 90% Panayotov could become the representative of Russia at Eurovision 2020.

The 35-year-old singer himself has publicly denied this information in his blog, calling the news stuffing. He was shocked by the inaccurate information, which was so eagerly repeated by many publications covering the domestic show business.

On March 2, the name of the one who will appear from the Russian Federation at the prestigious European competition of pop singers was announced. It was the Little Big rave group, which gained fame in Russia for its groovy musical compositions and provocative videos.

The musical group gained popularity thanks to its musical composition Skibidi, in which the musicians performed a simple but very incendiary dance.

Unlike in previous years, when Russia was represented at Eurovision by musicians who were famous only among Russian listeners, this time a musical group will go, which thanks to the Internet in a short time was able to gain world fame. Their clip "Ski-b-di" was able to gain over 36 million views on the web.

Russian musicians became famous all over the world for their music video and musical composition Skibidi, as well as for their original choreography. The musicians perform in the thrash-pop style, creating an absurd video sequence and turning any sounds into a musical hit.

The St. Petersburg group, which began to perform actively since 2013, posting its clips on the Internet, first gained popularity in the West, and only then in Russia. Front-man and team leader Ilya Prusikin said in an interview that after it became known that Channel One had chosen Little Big, he did not expect that the choice would fall on his group.

The musician said that he and his comrades are just doing the job they love. If they were chosen to represent Russia at Eurovision, then they will do everything that depends on them.

Thrash group Little Big

It arose in 2013 by accident, after they were invited to act as the opening act for the famous band Die Antwoord from South Africa. During a month of preparatory work, the musicians were able to create 6 original compositions and successfully debuted.

Until 2016, Little Big performed in the underground style. It consisted of two dwarf singers: Anna Cast and Olympia Ivleva. In 2014, Anna left the group, and in 2016 the current soloist Sofya Tayurskaya appeared.

At the same time, more disco motives appeared in the style of the songs of this group. In many ways, it was this that played an important role when the leaders of Channel One were deciding who would go to Eurovision 2020 from Russia.

The band did not invest a dime in promoting their famous music video Skibidi. Using a trashy video sequence, the team was able to collect tens of millions of views in the West. In many ways, the stylistics close to the Western audience allowed Little Big to become the representative of Russia at Eurovision 2020.
