Ice, Ice. Maybe

This was Russian entrant Dima Bilan at rehearsals in Belgrade yesterday (Monday).
In the 30/45 seconds gap between the Romanian song and his, the Serbian stage crew has to wheel a fully frozen ice rink in to position. One of Russia's champion skaters will whirl about on it while Dima is singing.
Alongside both of them is someone playing a 400-year old violin.
At the end of three minutes, by which point Dima will have scaled an onstage ladder for the money notes, all that has to be wheeled back out again before the Greeks come on.
People are now checking how much flights to Moscow in May cost.

A really good song shouldn't need all this load of circus acts nonsense to sell it. Which tells you that this is definitely NOT a good song. The trouble is, it's the sort of fluff that catches your eye early on & will get noticed for all the wrong reasons. Oh the humanity!
