I cried again. This was beautiful

While I was on the country side the International contest New Wave happened in the city Jurmala (sea side) not that far from Riga. The contest happens there every year and is pretty popular, especially in Latvia and Russia. The contestants are gathered from many countries. The contest guests also are popular, I think this year it was Roxette. There's also famous singers from Russia performing in the contest. The contest is leaded in Russian language as many stars are from Russia and I think it was started by Russian stars, something like that.

This year they made a tribute to Michael in the end of the show by singing You Are not Alone.

Notice the black ribbons they all have around their hand.

Notice also the guy with long, black hair, in light jacket with black tie. He sings one line and you can see him clearly in the end of the performance, he's the biggest one in there. He's famous Russian singer, often compared to Michael cause of his dressing style etc. He was invited by Michael to take part in MJ & Friends concerts.

And here's the video:

I have missed New Wave this year because I was on my trip. They every year sang at the end song ""We are the world" by Michael, but seems this year they have changed it to another Michael's song... I liked when at the end they put a part of Michael's video on the screens.

I didn't know every year they sang We Are The World. I knew they sang once, I think when Cosmos played in there. I don't know about other years. They really sang it every year?

As far as I remember every year they used to.
