Re: UKRAINE 2018
Me too.
I think if they bring down the shouting a bit, or bring in some quieter moments, it could actually be a pretty strong entry. It's good to know that they're taking it seriously though, and are trying to do their best. I want the best for her, regardless. She seems like a sweet person.

Out of the ones I've heard, Melovin is the clear stand out. One of the best songs of the NF season so far. Great stuff.

We agree musically...that is so rare that it surely confirms Melovin will win.

Re: UKRAINE 2018
I hate comparing YT views but:
Tayanna - Lelya - 290 000 in 7 days
Melovin - Under the Ladder - 140 000 in 19 days
VILNA - Forest Song - 110 000 in 2.5 days
Taynna premiered her song on all major radio stations, she gained at least 100 000 views because of Badoev (one of a few most popular East European producers/MV makers) - his insta account is viewed by 50-80 000 people daily.
VILNA got literally zero notable promotion except being published on the NF site and no crazy fans.

Re: UKRAINE 2018
I wanted to burn that entry with fire T() basing on snippets but the full song moved her into my top 5.
My final judgement will be based on the NF performances, as always. Tayanna screwed her previous attempt live and I didn't like her "Lelya" vocals in the studio, I didn't like "Kvitka" live vocals as well. But she can change my opinion in the semiSounds like you aren't that keen on Tayanna..

Re: UKRAINE 2018
That's sad if he'll win, but i'm afraid you might be correct.. he seems to have legions of tween girls voting for him (I find it hilarious that these girls always tend to vote for some closet-but-obvious-cases, we have the same issue in Sweden).
I'm waiting for Illaria, hope she can save this! But she can't rely on mass-voting by obsessed tweenies that vote for name/looks/popularity and not the quality, so she'll struggle even if she'll end up having the best entry. For once I put my hope to the juries, but then I reminded myself that Verka has the taste of a tween girl and Jamala is unreliable and the Onuka producer will probably go for the wannabe indie/artsy fartsy and not the ethno stuff (although Onuka are using ethno elements alot)... in the end the jury votes could be unpredictable and probably what could determine the final outcome.

Re: UKRAINE 2018
As I love rock and metal, 'Time' made it for me. Also, I preferred them to Tayanna.
This nf is the one I'm waiting for the most, just cause of Verka and Jamala. The first one likes pop and being original while the 2nd one wants to see the singer's emotions in the song as well as the Ukraine in it. She said "Melovin it was 60% of what you can do. Work on that" in the sf, and he didn't. So she made sure he didn't win. She also didn't want the 3rd jury member puppet to win so she didn't rate Tayanna high to be fair. O.Torvald was the only reasonable choice to represent Ukraine in that moment (Illaria sucked and I don't remember the rest). I think she thought that giving them high score, she'd help them win 'just in case'. And she did. Clever girl I adore!
