UKRAINE 2013 - Zlata Ognevich – Gravity

[CypriotGirl]

OH MY GOD, she's perfect!

and in the interview, too (when I put the sound on mute, though 2)

Why in mute? Her English is ok, she reminds me of my Ukrainian friends speaking English!

Which famous Jazz singer they'll have on stage?

Well, she's stunning, there's no doubt about it. Too bad I can't say the same about the song

 

[toinou03]

Yes, her English is nice !

A great voice and performance but the song........

Yep. But she also has great vocal skills. If Russia doesn't make it to the final, she will collect all the 12s of the eastern bloc, I think.
I wonder how the western juries will vote for this. Will they rate voice above song? Or the other way around?

Please let the part in bold be true I would forgive all 12s in Ukraine anytime, it has at least something interesting in the song, unlike the despiseful Russian entry!

Well, the song itself might have appeal to some people as well, it doesn't mean that the ones voting for it will be because of Zlata's voice or looks. It's a song that, despite not find something special, I understand if someone likes it, it just doesn't do it to me...

They will vote for the song, because the song is great (+ the performance will be as well).

 

[CypriotGirl]

(+ the performance will be as well).

I also expect a very good performance as well. It's Ukraine after all!

I am thinking an African set, lot of white (possibly some tribal drums??) clothing. Now Ukraine would have definitely done a great job if there were the wall of leds like last year.

I'm thinking this guy
CLEVELAND WATKISS
at least this tweet kinda implies it

@zlata_ognevich Hey My Dear, hope all is well, and really looking forward to working with you again soon xx

The chorus sounds dull, but I suppose the high notes will get some excited. Oh, and she's attractive but that's not a good enough reason for me to support a song.

 

[Imlate]

Italy-Ukraine-team gorgeous!

Fabulous photo

pro recording of this live performance on Eurovision channel

 

[Yoozek]

Very bad sound quality, although it's not the first channel where Zlata's performance from EiC is the most popular

 

[une]

My favourite song this year, only that I hope vocally it comes stronger that in Amsterdam.....

Don't worry she will scream a lot.Ukrainian women in eurovision usually do that.

 

[yulichka]

Zlata will have back vocalists and a giant who will be a part of fairy tale show on the stage. The name of the giant is still not known, but he will be next to her the whole time in Malmo.

What the.... She said they've got a surprise for us and I WANTED TO NOT GUESS IT until 12th may, while someone has just written about it without any "Spoiler" tag...
Now I'm gonna kill ya!

 

[Franco]

Too bad! I expected her to enter the stage riding a unicorn, like Rambo Amadeus last year did it with a donkey.

Its actually in her press release. And I share the info from local forums. I guess you don't need to read the forums before her performance then, because you'll get much more of it (starting with her first rehearsal in 2 weeks).
