UKRAINE 2013 - Zlata Ognevich – Gravity

[evija87]

I love the background, stage and everything... but Mr. Giant is not included on my list. She should stand on her little podium and do her usual performance with spining, waving hand like in National Final, she has powerful voice, great song and I'm afraid he will make it awkward and too cheesy! This song doesn't need gimmicks to stand out.

 

[RainyWoods]

Totally, but totally disagree with u. This is boring and pathetic to die

I don't mind it. The chord progression is interesting and quite unusual. The production of the song I feel is a bit too sparkly and pretty for my tastes but in a Eurovision context I think the song works really well and is enjoyable. If it's between this and Denmark on the night, i'll 100% be behind this.

 

[Smudy]

The giant is unnecessary.

 

[daniels1000]

He's one lucky guy.

He's the giant that will be on the stage with Zlata on Tuesday.

Are they nuts? X-OI X-OI

Other than that, amazing performance. Her vocals are amazing as well as her dress. But gosh, this man will destroy everything X-OI

 

[Imlate]

I don't like the giant! She is so beautiful!

 

[toinou03]

Gosh this is sooooo morbid

It's a real person ! It's freaky... :?

Well, I would say "What did you expect". She had the tackiest video ever with unicorns and all... She just feels like an over-Céline Dion... So this fits her universe but... it's freaky... I don't know if it will impress anyone because... this giant is really freaky... Does anyone know if he does something else than puting her on her horrendous fake-rock podium ?

BTW, her vocals are amazing !

I don't know if he does anything else. I hate these short snippet videos, making us want to see more arhhhhhhhh

We have potential here though for car crash tv. The ESCUNITED article stated how the entire press burst into laughter at the sight of the performance.. and the fact the two of them have only just met. This was their first ever rehearsal together

You're right. It reminds me the late 90s trash TV in France with Guiness freaks and all... I don't believe it will make a good impression and has rather disqualified Ukraine, though it will stand out in the mind of the audience, in a way... :?
I also fear juries will hate the giant though they should be the allies of Zlata...

Really the Giant is a milestone !

 

[Terence]

The Giant has to go, and I don't mean to be offensive but he creeps me out, don't get me wrong for heaven's sake.

 

[toinou03]

I found out who it is.
His name is Igor Vovkovinskiy. He's Ukranian-American ans he measures 2m35 !

[Terence]

I guess the biggest headache goes to the cameraperson

 

[Fluke]

Let see now, Giants.... Mystical stone circles? What does this remind me of, again?!?

 

[evija87]

And here is interview with him, what great nice guy but I won't change my opinion that bringing him is Ukraine delegation attempt on over-doing this song and performance

Interview with Zlata: she was afraid of butterflies until Farid gave her butterfly I spat out my drink

 

[Franco]

The scene of Zlata being carried by that giant looks sort of Frankensteinish. :?
It was a very bad idea.



On the other hand, Zlata looks great on that podium.

 

[Imlate]

Gentle giant, he seems like a very good guy!

 

[dragvision]

I love this coreography with the giant, for the italian Zlata dont remember a little bit Anna Tatangelo?

yeah, but IMHO Zlata is prettier!

 

[WhoKnows]

The positives: Zlata looks amazing. She sounded great. I'm loving the backdrop - that forest looks so pretty and atmospheric.

The negatives: the poor 'giant'. Looks so awkward and straight up strange. I'm surprised by the lack of flashing lights in the clip we saw. It's like something is missing. I'd get rid of the rock too. I think she probably feels nervous on it because she's afraid of falling off. Just put her on the main floor so she can be relaxed and move around as necessary.

 

[vavera4ka]

ok... if they INSIST on giant being there, does he have to carry her like a groom carries a bride on the wedding night?
that looks creepy...
How big of a risk would it be to sit her on his shoulder
kinda like that

 

[Krishoes]

yeah, but IMHO Zlata is prettier!

And more good
