Intervision ’25 – Dima Bilan reveals who would be his ideal duet partner

With only a number of hours to go until Intervision 2025, ESC Covers are preparing for tonight’s big show, live from Moscow. Further press conferences are scheduled between rehearsals.

Yesterday, our journalist, Elina, attended Dima Bilan‘s (Eurovision 2008) press conference, where she asked who he would most like to perform a duet with.

Dima was the winner of the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest, and still remains to be incredibly popular, both in Russia and around the world. Dima is also the official Ambassador for the 2025 Intervision Song Contest.

Whilst the rehearsals of the contest have been behind closed doors, we thouroughly expect Dima to be performing during the show, possibly with his classic, “Believe”.

You can watch Dima’s response to our question in the YouTube short. However, if you can’t understand Russian, we have provided an English translation below the following clip.

Eliana: Some journalists have already asked you about the Arabic music you like and about the representative of Kazakhstan who was on your team as a mentor in the 10th season of The Voice Russia. Is there anyone among the participants of Intervision 2025 with whom you would like to release a duet song? Maybe with the representative of Belarus, Nastya Kravchenko? What qualities should a singer have to be a suitable duet partner for you?

Dima Bilan: I hear a lot about Nastya Kravchenko. The starting point is always the song and the music. It’s for the sake of music that we are all here together. And also, in a duet, the person has to suit me visually and energetically.

The 2025 Intervision Song Contest takes places at 20:30 (Moscow time) / 19:30 CET. The show will be broadcast live on a number of TV channels from participating countries, with some having delayed coverage to provide a more suitable time-slot for their viewers.

As of yet, no live stream has been scheduled on either of Intervision’s official YouTube or RUTUBE channels. Channel One Russia have a live stream on their website, but we believe this to be geo-blocked outside of Russia.
