I think I just remembered something about Tokyo.

Varum uns zu zain an zi.

Same here.

Okay.

A Stranger With You - 7. Not bad. I like it, although I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan.
Beautiful Beautiful - 6. Generally not bad, but it didn't really grab me. I've already written about my feelings towards this kind of music somewhere here.
Dead to the World - 10. Paraphrasing Nera: That's just not fair! Even though I've long ceased to consider myself a fan of the band Nochnoe Zhelanie, the song doesn't become any less awesome because of it. I wanted to give it a 9, because they have even better songs, but then I remembered that it's hard to find a better duet song from them.
On the Rise - 8. Interesting song. I like the gimmick where two performers sing different lyrics at the same time. It even made me want to check out who this Doctor Uzhasny is and his music blog.
The good die young - 7. As an old fan of Dasha's work, I heard this song relatively recently and wouldn't say it's become one of my favorites. However, a duet with such "titans" as Tarja and Klaus can't be bad by definition.
Follow Me - 7. I've always been rather indifferent to the work of the band Bol and Anette's vocals, but I liked this song. I would even say that her voice sounds more appropriate here than in many Nightwish songs.
Felicita - 6. I've never really liked this song, but the performance is good.
N-n-n - 5. See number 2.
Here-There - 5. It's on par with the previous one and number 2.
How Can I Go On - 6. Mercury and Caballé are great individually, but I don't really like the combination of their voices.
Penser l'impossible - 7. I heard this song when someone recommended that I watch and listen to this musical, which I still haven't done because I'm lazy. Well, I don't know, it seems like everything is good, but something is missing. I like the repeating motif.
Qu'avons nous fait de vous ? - 6. It's theatrical. Good performance, but it's not really my taste.
Ice Cream - 4. It's not very good. Plus one point for the fact that it's at least funny and the dubstep inserts add some variety.
Can Crwtyn y Gwartheg - eleven. Well, this is one of my favorite songs in general and definitely my favorite among folk songs. At first, I didn't want to send it because it doesn't quite fit the concept of a duet - the vocalist here plays a rather secondary role. However, after considering the other options (all over 6 minutes long) and vividly imagining the 3s and 4s they would get, I decided to go with this one.
К чему нам быть на ты - 6. Pleasant and unpretentious, but again, it doesn't grab me. I could have given it a higher rating for the lyrics, but they didn't impress me here.

Well, there are some great Soviet songs, including duets, but this is just… mediocre.

There are songs, but when it comes to duets... I doubt it. I've never listened to duets before this contest. So I just submitted it randomly.

Did you happen to send me that "Morozhenka" thing?

Haha, yes, I was just rambling, I only remembered this.



By the way, Rozhdestvensky is one of those very few poets whose poems I can still appreciate.

Stranger With You — 6
Dead to the World — 7.
On the Rise — 5
The Good Die Young — 6.
Pain — 6.
Felicita — 5. A beautiful woman, but not a very beautiful song. The businessman made a slight mistake and ended up on stage instead of a karaoke club. And the quality isn't great.
Unknown song — 7. I can't remember where it's from.
Here-There — 5
How can I go on — 5
Mozart — 7
Le Roi Soleil — 7
Ice Cream — 7. Oh my god.
Clann Lir — 9. Plus for a pleasant language , and not just another French song
Why should we be on familiar terms — 1

I wanted to write a story, but it looks like I won't have time.

If you have time, write to me.
