My favourite singer of all times is Ani Lorak. She is rather popular singer in Russia and Ukraine and in general all over the world. What I like most about her it’s her beautiful voice. Ani Lorak is a tall pretty woman with long dark hair. She participated in many song competitions; the Russian television program «Morning star» brought the fame to the young singer Ani. She also took the second place at Eurovision song contest-2008, representing Ukraine. The actress is engaged in public activities. She has good songs.
