Babushka, ya ya



It just gets better and better...

Another Eurovision surprise, this time from Russia:
Folk group the "Buranovo Grannies" will compete in the Eurovision Song Contest, after winning a televised contest in Moscow to represent Russia.

The six grandmothers beat 24 other acts - including a duet between 2008 winner Dima Bilan and Tatu's Yulia Volkova - with song Party For Everybody.

Buranovskiye Babushki, from the Udmurt Republic, say they will use any cash raised to build a church in Buranovo.

"Grandmothers do not need glory and wealth," a member told Vesti news.
The ladies, presently aged between 43 and 74, have already run for the chance to represent Russia at Eurovision, being unsuccessful in 2010.

Gulp.
