Re: UKRAINE 2018

Did they forget last year's NF existed? Seems like all the clips they used were from the 2016 selection.

O.Torvald was awful as hell. Anything else?

And sorry, but there isn't any musical ethnic elements in the chorus xshrug... maybe she sings a bit in a ethnic way...but really smal part..

If you hear any musical ethnic element, please tell me the moment in the song.. xshrug

Tina Karol had some accordion in the song in 2007...Nelly Ciobanu from Moldova had a lot of ethnic elements..but this one not..

Not sure we heard the same song tbh? The verses are more like R&B-Pop but the choruses are clearly ethnic-inspired, maybe it's not done in a "typical way" as we heard in ESC before (which is why this song is such a good candidate because it blends modern music and ethnic elements but in a new fresh way), but the ethnic-elements are clearly there.

Illaria admitted that she sucked last year & she wasn't prepared enough. She hinted that she will come back this year with a different song in Ukrainian and English. Strong, modern, with ethno elements. Opposite to 2017.

I love her but yeah, her song did kinda suck in 2017 and it was beneath her (eventhough it wasn't the worst of the weak bunch in 2017). I'm happy to hear she is not delusional and ready to try again with something more worthy, although I would drop the English, she shines in Ukrainian, English not so much... plus English really doesn't fit her style, completely out of place tbh.

JFC, I lived for that song last year and if she's gonna come this time with a hit (when that one was shit) I'll be blown away!

Re: UKRAINE 2018

So, she didn't keep up her promise. I wonder why they organised that voting then... to confirm that they will not choose flop? Well it seems people's opinion turned out different from what they expected then... Interesting, what her team will come up with?

Re: UKRAINE 2018

Yeah, the broadcaster and Tayanna confirmed the new uptempo song. I like how our broadcasters started paying attention to the NF's rules. Finally :D


Btw, if Alekseev stayed he had to record the new song too because of the same reason.

Re: UKRAINE 2018

Thankfully it's not finished as that snippet sounded super meh, even if it is short. Don't like it at all, and meh she went from a non-English to what appears to be English?

She said they've recorded the chorus only and everything else is very raw/unfinished. UA:pBC published a snippet of a demo excerpt.

If that's a song he performed at Russian New Year TV show, I doubt it would be welcome at Vidbir. But he made his choice.

Also, the author of the song is one Kirill Pavlov. Sounds Russian. Which, if the case, would never win in Ukraine.

Either way, Navsegda/Forever is no big loss for the Ukrainian NF.

Excited for Tayanna's new song. I like Kvitka, but like I've already said, it wasn't as good as I Love You, so I'm fine with the change.

Re: UKRAINE 2018

Ok now I see what happened. Liked the snippet, hopefully new song will be more competetitive so that Danylko will not find reasons to shade it.
