Ukraine UKRAINE 2018 - Mélovin - Under the Ladder

Re: UKRAINE 2018

Small offtopic,
Since the video has 2k views, 60 likes and 1000+ dislikes, I assume she bought the likes but instead of buying 'likes' she bought 'dislikes' ? After reading some comments I think people like the video. Well done Zlata.

Not sure what this has to do with this topic? You can actually "buy" likes/dislikes? If that's so, someone's head from her team will be rolling soon or someone really hates her

The video is kinda fun, but the song is really bad though... I really liked her previous singles though and I generally like Zlata but this is just bad

Re: UKRAINE 2018

Zlata continues to have the same problem she's always had. Lack of direction. She's just all over the place with her music.

She releases this one day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZM_Vw9NPjc.
Another day she sings this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_PnBWd1rjo
But then she also has this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CT7hTVMrwQo
Now this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=au5mi4v9Tyc
And everything in between.

I honestly think she could be bigger if she could stick to just one thing.

I think it's called diversity, I don't mind as long as the material is good

But they should collect the best and record some new stuff and finally release a darn debut album!!!... what's taking her so long? She's had some pretty good stuff throughout the years... I think for instance all of the songs below could work on one album if they tracklisted them in a good order, maybe did some revamping and added something new in between to make it even more cohesive... it's not like all tracks on an EP or album have to be in the same genre, there can be ballads and Pop and even ethno mixed, as long as it works as a whole piece. But yeah, I agree she seems to be slightly misguided, she has the potential to be on Tina Karol or Ani Lorak (pre- Russia) level, but it's like they just randomly release some video/single with her and see what sticks without a proper plan

Kukushka [2010]
Za lisamy horamy [2012]
Zapaly vohon' [2015]
Kruzheva [2015]
Za litom, za vesnoyu [2016]
Tantsyuvaty [2017] <- technically her biggest hit to date

I know I just added to the "off-topic" here, it's possible to move it to the correct thread I guess (2013?)

Wooow Sila is great song. I just love it .

Re: UKRAINE 2018

Tayanna rehearsed her song in the studio and her vocals were great & powerful. She didn't sound messy considering she was dancing in the same time.
She said the staging will take us to the times when disco was cool. I hope they won't make some parody circus in the end :?


The same is for Illaria. She said they will bring kobza on stage. Wondering if she will be some medieval trobairitz.

Re: UKRAINE 2018

Most of the entries of the SF2 of this NF are truly amazing, don't mind if some of them didn't qualify, provided that a trashy one doesn't steal the spot of a worthier entry... :?

SF2 is really a tough one...

I hope it'll be Tayanna, Illaria and Dilemma but I'm pretty sure fanboy Melovin will steal the spot of one of them and I'm really afraid that the juries, and also the voters to some extent, will eff things up

For instance I'm surprised that Mountain Breeze are allowed when Verka is their producer while also being in the jury at the same time

Tayanna already said she'll keep "Lelya" in Ukrainian if she gets the ticket

Illaria could learn something here, in fact English in Tayanna's song wouldn't sound too off (although I prefer it to stay Ukrainian of course), but in Illaria's song it just doesn't fit... anyhow I wouldn't mind Illaria winning because her entry is still strong and I love the chorus... but i'm afraid Illaria will struggle with the voting, I hope the juries will save her...

Tayanna's song is such a masterpiece. As far as I remember, I wasn't as thrilled of 'I Love You' as her current entry. Moreover, it's being sung with such a deep voice...

I do still wonder why is doing so bad when they're hosting, whereas a bunch of great entries is suddenly coming out and entering the NF the following year(s).

We also do badly when contest is held in one of ex-USSR countries. 2003, 2005, 2009, 2012 2017 all were years when we finished out of Top-10. The rest of the time Ukraine did well.

I can't get why. I do agree with you on the fact that entries in 2005, 2009 and 2017 were pretty average. But... I slightly remember that your 2003's song was pretty decent. AND WHAT ABOUT THE SCHLAGER IN 2012.
