Re: UKRAINE 2015
Well because you also fell for this year's winner suddenly, cause of the message and LGBT rights!
But I hope soon you will be back on your track of quality entries' and REAL musicians in ESC' "worshiping", like your avatar says!

Aw, you're always such a nice person, that totally respects the other people's opinions, even if they are different to yours, without insulting or hurting any feelings.
A truly stellar human being you

I hope Verka Serduchka wants to come back now after Conchita's victory.

Re: UKRAINE 2015
Oh gosh, did I actually write ballads?
I must have been tired, it was meant to be "entries"
Tick tock was uptempo

I'm pretty sure that the older Petryk sister will try again. She finished 2nd in this year's national final.

Re: UKRAINE 2015
Some names I would like to see give it a go.
Jamala - would be quite a statement to send a Crimean Tatar after what has happened the last few months. A ballad in Ukrainian would be ideal. And with Jamala performing, there's little chance it'd end up as a 'typical/boring ESC ballad'.
Max Barskih - I'm still not over the fact that he had Nebo during the NF period last year and didn't try out with it. I would be cool with a Dance-type song too. With Badoev on his side, if Max ever does go, I suspect the performance would be the event of the ESC year.
DiO.Filmy - these tween heartthrob acts can be a hit or miss, but I'd love to see what performance Ukraine can put together for them. It'd be new grounds as far as Ukraine's entries go. My main concern here is, can they get someone to write them a good song? Nothing they've done so far has been much to write home about.
Illaria - I think she was on the right track with her attempt last year, but with room to improve. Hopefully this participation was the experience she needed. There are a number of directions she can go with her song, a more conventional ballad, something a bit uptempo, or the ethnic fusion that she had at 2014 NF.
Renata - I know she didn't make many fans when she participated in the NF in 2013, plus it'd most likely be a "boring ballad" if she tried out again, but I think she has potential. Wasn't she in the Yanukovich/Akhmetov camp though? Not sure how that would play out.

Re: UKRAINE 2015
Illaria had my favorite song of the 2014 NF season. Her voice is seriously chilling. I would like for her to try again with a dark, intense ballad with ethnic elements.

Re: UKRAINE 2015
... in Ukrainian
I guess she'd be one of my top choices aswell... her 2014 entry was the best in that selection, but knowing her other material I know she can do better.

I'll be interested to see whether the change in government in Ukraine brings about a change in their approach to Eurovision. I'm guessing we have a new head of the tv channel. Maybe they'll want to take the national final away from Saturday lunchtime?

Re: UKRAINE 2015
If i could have two dream entries for ESC 15 it would be Annalisa Scarrone for Italy and Illaria for Ukraine.Her entry had huge potential this year.Saying that, like you A-lister knowing all her work she has much better material.Contemporary but still genuine and ethnic.Lets hope she returns and spends time getting the right song put together.

Re: UKRAINE 2015
1. Most interesting vocal used in the right way in folk. Nothing better for ESC nowadays...
2. Ukrainian Lindsey Stirling. As long as there is violin in her song, I love it!
3. The weirdest male vocal I found this year:
4. Just a magnificent trio which would reach TOP10 for sure.
5. If nothing from my TOP4, just send something like this:

Re: UKRAINE 2015
My top choices for Ukraine 2015:
Illaria
Ethno-indie-folk-pop singer that is still quite new to the Ukrainian music scene. She came 5th in the Ukrainian selection for ESC 2014 with "I'm Alive / Ya Zhiva".
Ukrainian studio version of "Ya Zhiva":
Via Gra
One of the most successful Ukrainian/Russian Pop acts and probably the most famous all-girl-group of the ex-USSR and Eastern Europe. The current trio is an all Ukrainian constellation and the result of the music reality-talent show "Hochu v VIA Gru", where the aim was to find three new girls to re-start the brand and group. For ESC-fans, the most famous "ex- Via Gra" would probably be Svitlana Loboda. Vira Brezhneva is perhaps the other most successful out of the previous members.
Nadiya Meiher-Granovska
Former Via Gra member that just recently started her own solo musical career, previously she's been acting as a TV-hostess in Ukraine aswell as a contestant on various music shows, she was also the "mentor" of the winning trio in "Hochu v VIA Gru".
Iryna Fedyshyn
Folk-Euro-pop singer mostly known in Western parts of Ukraine. She could finally get an "all-Ukrainian" break if the Ukrainian ESC selection from now on will be more welcoming of Ukrainian-language acts than previous years' selections which were dominated by English and Russian.
I would add Lama and Okean Elzy there too, but I'd say chances are almost zero that they'd ever enter ESC :/
