he was know in eurovision as kirkorov's new "singer" and not just as koldun and kirkorov thought koldun would win eurovision for him. i think because he didn't win kirkorov thought he is not good enough and not famous enough so he doesn't want to work with him!!
when i was in helsinki he gave me his new album "for you" and 4 of the songs on there are helena's songs. i think it's good though because it's nice to hear them in russian and they have a different mix. personally i think he is very talented and he's a nice guy!
