Polina Gagarina: Russia's Eurovision 2015 Entry

As the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 begins in Vienna with the semifinals on Tuesday, people around the world are waiting to find out who will succeed last year's winner, the Austrian singer Conchita Wurst. Singer Polina Gagarina will be competing for Russia in the first semifinal.


Her Eurovision song, "A Million Voices," is about unity in times of conflict. The lyrics include the lines "Praying for peace and healing, I hope we can start again." The first seminfinal will show whether she does indeed get a chance to start again in the final competition on Saturday.
