The Singer
 
I've been having a look back over the anals of Eurovision history to see if anything has quite matched Verka Serduchka for instilling such overwhelming feelings of distress. OK, so Poier & Horn were whacko's, Dion & May were sincere to the point of insanity, Voutailenan was a serial killer in disguise etc, but nothing can quite match Ms Serduchka for peculiarity.
Verka, an aging buxom lady is the nom de plume of Sergei Danilov, himself a well respected singer when he doesn't have the stringbacks on. "Russia goodbye", "Ukraine hello".

The Past
  
From the ridiculous to the sublime. Ukraine first entered the contest only four years back, when they sent a falsetto warbling peculiarity of a bloke called Alexander who belted out a shocking song standing next to a bright blue rotating groin. He got more points than him and the codpiece deserved, but the following year Ukraine made up for it. In what will be looked back on as the occasion Eurosong stepped up the pace, the performance of Ruslana blew Istanbul away. "Wild Dances" is now the goal to aim for in terms of nonsensical lyrics, toothy grins, costume, and most of all performance. The EBU have much to thank Ukraine for already, especially follwoing the red army pin-up Tina, whose assets bounced through Athens in great style.

The Song
 
Mr Danilov's character is the embodiment of that Auntie you didn't want to see at Christmas when you were growing up, as you knew your small face would be consumed by that lippied-up maw with a smacker that caused shockwaves that broke a pane of glass in your dad's greenhouse. Anyway I digress.
Verka is a jovial old cove though, and she stamps her feet repeatedly, jabs her fingers in the air repeatedly, and…that's about it. She doesn't have much else to go on, as "Danzing" is truly one of the most repetitive Eurovision songs ever. Massiel has got competition. You know your in trouble when the lyrics go "1,2,3".

Overall

So is there a summary to this song's chances? As Grossman once said "let's look at the evidence"...
Pros: It's on before the UK, it's brash, it raises a smile, it offends the Russians, she's a regional megastar.
Cons: It's a minute of kid's music stretched to 3, it's as original as a free newspaper service in London, it's as classy as can of Skol in a kebab house.
Make up your own mind. My mind is made up. It's a comedy shite, and it's coming to be trod into a carpet near you.

In a Nutshell
"Verking on the insane"

the philosopher says

Übermensch German term for "Overman" or "Superman." Hence, in the philosophy of Nietzsche, an extraordinary individual who transcends the limits of traditional morality to live purely by the will to power. For an example, please refer to images above.
