Without being mean, it's very simple at the end of the day. If you want to succeed in such a big event you have to be VERY professional. More than on a small stage in some club, more than in a talent show where everything is edited and scripted, more than on a show where you can lip-sing.
you need to know:
- when to sing and where to start singing
- how to get your pitches
- how to deliver in the right moment what you have trained.

She obviously didn't. That means - she's not professional enough for this show. She might be professional enough for other shows.
The reason for it is not important anymore. Every singer brings a story with him or her (some stories are known, some are leaked, some remain untold, some are visible, some aren't) and as difficult as they may be for everyone, these stories can not be weighted against each other, but more importantly they don't play any role here. The question is - can you deliver in the right moment that counts? The answer was given tonight.

She knew what she was getting in to when she agreed to take part, she accepted this fate and accepted all the broadcaster gave to her. No Sympathy for this failure, some act like Russia got robbed. If it qualified the country it took the place from would have been robbed.

Well, I just hope that Russia will send in a better song next year, and even win, especially if I would love that song.

THANKS GOD IT FLOPPED!

In Russia right now there is a huge discuss about it and mostly people say that its fault of the broadcaster that they picked such a weak artist. I WANTED US TO FAIL because Qualifying with this would mean that we take a spot from someone who worked hard and wanted to win. Yulia had 2 YEARS to prepare and they did this... nah, go home we are waiting for ya here

But if :gr: SERIOUSLY wanted win ESC, they had to select internally Eleni Fourreira (as she wanted baddly several times) or Kostas Martakis, but ERT didn't chose them and now are facing the concecuences..:lol:

Just a reminder.

I generally don't care what Russia sends, as long as it's a good song, like every other country.
If Germany was sending some nazi sympathising singer it would be the same.

But what I really dislike about Yulia is playing a political game since 2017. She had this coming = No sympathy. Bad song, backed up with terrible moral compass (how else you call posing with friggin Stalin flag just before the contest?!)

She drags all the politics with her and when someone points it out - but wheelchair! But compassion! But she's special! Nope she's not, she's a big girl.

Well, they chose Yulia last year to counter the Ukrainian hate campaign and sent her this year to keep up to their word. Now this affair is closed. It will be interesting to see what they do next year when they have a lot more options.

Last year yes but this year no. ERT didn't supported her and the song was selected because the other 2 were disqualified. I'm sure ERT would've prefered Chorostalites or Areti Ketime instead. Also it was clear that ERT didn't even wanted to qualify this year. They put more effort for Argo & Demy than for Yianna. X-OI
