Troika #01 (Russian NS for #16)

[Deleted]

Hello everyone!

After having flopped harder than Diana International in 2011 two times in a row, I decided that I'd rather let you help me to choose some next Russian entries ^^
That's why I decided to host a series of small National Selections under the name "Troika"
("troika" is Russian for "something labelled under the number three" or sometimes "a set of three").

So, there will be three songs. The voting method will be quite simple:
You have three points which you may distribute in any way you like (except for giving to every song): 3-0-0, 2-1-0, 1.5166-1.1185-0.2649 etc.
because it's as chaotic as Russia is

And now here are the songs!

1. One of the hopefuls to represent Russia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen, the jazz-funk group Oleg Sidorov & Point Charlie will bid to represent Russia in WVSC with a pop-rock song "Playing with a Life":



2. Next up are one of the most renowned bands in the Russian jazz scene Guru Groove Foundation who put their stakes on the song under a simple title: "Moscow"!



3. And finally the only Russian-language song for this time! A mysterious project Neyromonakh Feofan (Neuromonk Pheophan) with an ethno-D&B (aren't you already afraid of this mix? ) entry "Po nocham" (In the Nights)



The voting lines will be open at least until the end of the 15th edition.
You can vote either here in the thread or via PM.
World, start voting nao!

it's quite a usual problem because Russian is quite distant from English in means of phonetics (for example, all the vowels in the two languages differ at least slightly), and the way the English is taught here in Russia mostly sucks
Thanks for voting anyway

It wasn't even sarcastic  I just meant that at least 2/3 songs are really unique and different
