A Million Voices

Russian Polina Gagarina, the sultry singer of “A Million Voices”, impressed Eurovision fans with her glitzy performance, managing to gain second place for her country in the contest. Though born in Russia, the singer spent the first years of her life in Athens and speaks fluent Greek.

The impressive Polina Gagarina, who placed second in Saturday’s Eurovision song competition with her song “A Million Voices”, only wore her shapely “birthday suit” in a photo spread for the Russian-language edition of “Maxim” magazine in 2012.

Gagarina, who almost won the title and was only bested by Sweden’s entry, had spent many years in Greece, as well.

Sweden narrowly beat Russia May 24 in a nail-biting 60th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, winning its sixth crown in Europe's annual anything-goes music extravaganza.

With his song titled Heroes, Sweden's Måns Zelmerlöw has collected most votes of viewers at the final of this year's Eurovision Song Contest.

This comes after a tough challenge with Polina Gagarina from Russia and the trio Il Volo (Italy).

Bulgaria did not take part in this year's edition, but the Bulgarian National Television aired the show live.
