Russia’s Serebro has a good song, but it looks too much like Britney Spears slick bubble gum pop. (I did like their stylish video though!)
Looking through Youtube, I see a video by my favorite Albanian singer, Eli Fara. She had a mysterious almost haunting voice. Here is an example of how her voice sounds on her youtube video. That was in 1987; she has aged incredibly well. She looks like a pop star now. (Here is her video at a 2006 Chicago performance–she is having so much fun!). BTW, this is one of the worst video jobs I’ve seen!
Remember that occasionally a Eurovision winner can be tremendously talented! (not from eurovision, but still an awesome performance that won eurovision).
(After watching Bjork on SNL, I still can’t decide whether she’s actually talented or just a bohemian phenomena (see this incredible video for what I mean).
