	What do I think of this?
	The hosts have had the largest amount of money in the contest's history to lavish on this year's show (€30m). I reckon at least €100 went on the choice of their entrant. Ukrainian Anastasia Prihodko comes across as a teenage tearaway undergoing growing pains I would prefer her not to share. "Mum" is a distinctly average pop ballard number, most notable for her displayed in widescreen, face contorted in a variety of unfortunate grimaces. Here's Anastasia distressed by having to perform on Kirkorov, here's Anastasia confused by Bilan, and here's Anastasia annoyed that it's borscht for dinner again. I don't need it, and netiher do you. Mid table, a relatively low score for the bullies of the night.



	KPI's - Yeah but, no but, it's not fair
		Anastasia Prihodko was born on 21st of April 1987 in Kyiv, Ukraine. She was educated in the National University of Fine Arts in Kiev. A kind, smart and friendly girl from Kiev, Anastasia has an interesting and rarely low deep voice like that of an opera's diva. She has graduated from a music academy, the department of folk vocal. She sings unordinary minor songs and folk songs in both the Russian and Ukranian languages. Anastasia writes music herself and considers that the most successful experience she has had in international festivals was in Bulgaria, where she had taken the third place. Before choosing to be a singer, Anastasia was trying to find herself and tried her hand at many different musical areas. She is able to play flute, guitar and piano. Anastasia is very independent, that is why since she was 15 she has been earning money herself. She pays great attention to critique, always trying to improve herself. Singing is the most important thing in her life, but she also has some other hobbies. These include chess, horse riding and fashion, and particularly likes black outfits. In July 2006 Anastasia successfully passed all national selections to the Star Factory show directed by the Meladze brothers, and in December 2008 became the winner of the project. At the Eurosong 2009, Anastasia will carry the Russian hopes of a second successive victory performing the song Mamo, which is written in Russian and Ukranian by Konstantin Meladze, her producer and music father.
