#54 Sergey Lazarev, "Flyer (Under Fire)"
In time
I know I'm gonna make you mine
If this song had made it to Eurovision instead of the much inferior "Believe" by Dima Bilan, which beat it out, it would have been at least my fourth favorite song at the contest, and I have a feeling it might have ended up ranked even higher in this countdown, much as I try to focus on nothing other than how much I enjoy a song when making this list. "Flyer (Under Fire)" is Swede-penned, a fact that isn't surprising to learn when you hear the song's up-tempo revvy Euro-pop beat. It would have been so nice to have a male soloist at this year's Eurovision doing something like this, danceable--it feels tailor-made for higher-energy choreography--and really catchy. Still, at least it was further proof of Russian singer Sergey's pop credentials; I will be, as always, very excited to hear what he does next.
(Incidentally, I think there are two versions of this song, a demo and the final version, and they're pretty different; apparently I've spent the year listening to the demo.)
