I
literally listened to the song several minutes ago and I already
forgot the arrangement and melody. There is nothing special with
this entry and it almost feels like it will be tacky on stage having
the twins as artists for this song.

An okay song, but not that good. But the Tolmachevy twins are
really beautiful.

I
don't know where this song is going. With twins tried other
countries to but didn't succeed too much. Still
Russia
will
have massive votes from the east block but I don't think this time
that
Russia
will
do well. For me this song isn't working at all it is cheap and crap.

Members of the same team responsible for Farid Mammadov's 'Hold
Me' in 2013 have also had a hand in composing and writing the
Russian song for
Copenhagen
.
Incidentally this is the third song called 'Shine' to participate in
the contest. The Tolmachevy Sisters have already tasted Eurovision
success back in 2006 when they won the Junior Eurovision Song
Contest. This is up tempo, old fashioned and nostalgic without being
in any way outstanding. A winner it isn't but
Russia
will
once again qualify for the final.

I
have the feeling that the girls voices are very limited. The song is
nothing special and only because we talk about
Russia
it
will do much better that it deserve

May

Russia
is
getting prepared for a poor result this year and they decide to send
a baked in a last second song. They will be on the final just
because many of their friends will be in their semi-final and will
give them many 12's just from them.

This is an average song sung by two average singers. therefore it
deserves an average score

Well it isn't bad, but it doesn't blow me away either. Personally
I think this is the weakest entry they've submitted since Mamo in
2009.

I'm pretty sure this is not the final version of the song. The
song does sound like a demo like it was produced in a couple of
hours and I don't like the way it sounds now (and this has
nothing to do with politics). I'd rather wait for the final version.

Well, I don’t like this one, it sounds so cheap, and it’s
really not for me.

Boring, tasteless, colourless song. A weak entry with a
repetitive sound. You can perceive it as dull, after different
listenings too. Definitely stodgy.

Happy to have twins again at Eurovision. But will they SHINE in
Copenhagen
? Personally I hope the political climate does not interfere with
Eurovision. I like the song, it is catchy although fairly rough and
will probably be fixed closer to the time. But they could not have picked
a more unoriginal title. The 4th SHINE in the last years (although I
have liked all 4).

I've listened to this four times, and
can't remember how it goes. These girls are going to have a
challenging time in
Denmark
; hope they're up for the task.

Politics aside this stands a very good chance. Instantly likeable
and catchy I found it going around in my head after just one listen.
Looking for the double, if you pardon the pun, I wouldn't rule
it out.

I think this will come over very well on the stage. Again, i
like the powerful music that accompany's it. definately in my top
10.

The last country to choose are one of
this year’s most controversial countries, and not for the music.
Russia have played it VERY safe this year with this rather pleasant
ditty, and I think it will have no problems qualifying, but I think
that they may be quite heavily shunned across Europe for actions
taking place outside of Eurovision. Is this unfair? Lots of
differing opinions on this. Me? I think they should be judged solely
on the music, and I’d squeeze them into the top 10.

I surprisingly like this! It is very Eurovision which may
actually make it standout this year and could appeal to many
televoters. Despite all the trials the sisters may have to face from
the media in
Copenhagen
, I think this could do well.

My heart sank with the opening
tinkling piano notes. What followed was an OAP's idea of what a
'pop' song might be. Twee lyrics and a leaden melody did not help.
The whole thing sounds as though it was thrown together in fifteen
minutes. A big disappointment.

This is a pleasant, if unremarkable, little song, ably sung by
two pretty girls. Whether those voting will chose to vote on
this alone remains to be seen.

A
catchy, old-fashioned entry. With the team behind it, I'm looking
forward to seeing how it will be staged.

It
reminds me of a failed Song for
Europe
entry from the 90s but I can’t remember
which. It well produced but I just twins singing about love is
always a bit weird. Current political tensions may hamper their
chances.

I like this. Fairly gentle stuff,
although I expect it to pack a punch in May. I hope that
Copenhagen
will act kindly
to the girls and that the voters vote on the music alone. Nice one!

Leaving other issues aside and looking
at the song only - I like it. It reminds me of the old SAW/PWL-style
of song that I grew up with in the late 80s so has that 'comfort'
feel to it. It will be interesting to see what does happen come May.

Meeah,
it doesn't move me. Musically it's very pleasant and I think live it
will probably be great, but lyrically it's more contrived drivel. It
would have been much better in Russian (it's not like most countries
in their semi don't speak it anyway...)

Hmm not sure what to make of this one. It’ll probably get a
makeover and will be staged well but can’t help thinking that this
is
Russia
’s
weakest entry for a while…

After such a build-up we expected a
showstopper. What we get instead is a pretty ordinary, fairly tame
ballad with trite lyrics, saved only by some decent harmonies.
I won't be Putin this in my top five.

This is growing on me, but was it really worth the long wait? The
lyrics are pretty rubbish, and the tune is very dated. I don't want
to like it because I'm boycotting
Russia
, but if I'm going to be really honest it's not that bad. A
rather generous 6.
