Alexander Lemtov: Lion of Love (Eurovision 2020 Finale)

3 жыл бұрынRussia's winning entry to Eurovision 2020 with Alexander Lemtov's "Lion of Love".
Shout out to the marvellous LIVE from Eurovision Song Contest edit by Ben Windibank:
• Russia - LIVE - Alexan...
Differences of this edit as compared to Ben's: higher resolution, no repeating shots of the performance itself, tons of incongruous filler, and a good number of glaring logical and editing mistakes thrown in as a bonus (because I don't actually know how to edit videos, nor own any dedicated software for that purpose; so this is as good as it's going to get).
Also a shout out to Erik Mjönes, who may not be Dan Stevens but is adorable in his own right:

I truly believe his best is yet to come as he's so talented. Just hopes he gets quality material to showcase his immense talents. I do believe his latest film, released in Germany on July 1, "I Am Your Man" may be the film to catapult him further. Got rave reviews at the Berlinale Film Festival and it is scheduled to be released in U.S. theaters on Sept. 17 and on VOD. Can't wait.

He and that jumping gazelle in the background was the best part of the movie. The fact that he sounded like Bascov and dressed like Kirkorov (the Russian singer the actor was inspired for the personage) was priceless, sadly it’s something that only Russians can appreciate. But at least the “He/Him” and the “mother Russian don’t letting him to be happy” was evident for everyone, it’s nice to see that they added social/politics criticism presented as a comedy.
