This is something I didn’t ever expect to see, or hear for that matter. And though my eyes have now readjusted, my laughter lines returned to their relaxed position, it could take a while for my ears to forgive me.
Good on Vladimir Putin for trying to sing Blueberry Hill. After all, it’s for charity, and why wouldn’t the former President, and current Prime Minister, of Russia do such a thing.
The only problem is he can’t actually sing very well, at least not in English. I’m sure he can hold a note in Russian, but this performance suffered because of the song choice.
Still, you wouldn’t know the performance left a lot to be desired by the reaction of the assembled crowd, because they treat Putin like he’s Michael Jackson returned from the grave. There’s nothing like a bit of sycophancy amongst celebrities.
