Ukraine UKRAINE 2018 - Mélovin - Under the Ladder

Re: UKRAINE 2018

Bravo such a reason. Tho, since you have Jamala on your avatar I am not surprised at all.

Do you need glasses? You can't read English maybe? That is one of many reasons, and I do not have to explain myself to you or anyone else. Don't get what Jamala has to do with this all... but oh well.

Have fun missing yet another year of ESC

Actually Jamala speaks Russian too

THE GOOD:
-The beats are nice.
-It's somewhat memorable.

THE BAD:
-It was kinda hard to tell what he was singing. Maybe with more listens, I'll understand.

THE VERDICT:
This is a pretty good entry from Ukraine. Along with that, I like the single contact in his left eye. It makes him stand out a bit. The entry will probably qualify, but I don't know how it'll place from there. 8 points

Two great song on the top 2. Tayanna was my number one cause Lelya is one amazing song and she was great on stage this time, but still Melovin did great job too. Ukraine welcome back to the top 5. Great song.

Without any doubt my 12 points for Melovin

I always thought she is speaking Ukrainian all the time. It's hard for me to distinguish the two, but I guess many people don't understand that Russian in this part of the world is lingua franca. So regardless of political tensions or whatsoever - Russian is still spoken by majority. Or at least people are bilingual.

Danylko said that if Melovins gets chosen he will hire English teacher for him. Your reviews are always fun. Keep up with that!

Woah, you are such an impolite lady, who judges others by their LANGUAGE. What will you tell me? Am I also awful that I speak Russian like Melovin and defend his right on it in bilingual ( by historical reasons) country?

Your reasons might be ok, but this line in particular is just what stands out. Its a musical contest where language of artist plays the last role. Margaret from Poland participates in Sweden for the right to represent Sweden and IMAGINE without knowing swedish! Such a shooook, but in countries whith high level of RESPECT like Sweden No one says a thing about it .If you want to satisfy such countries ( and yeah you want) then stop your russophobia. Celebrate diveristy, huh?


What Jamala does with it? Oh, well, if she is in judge pannel maybe she would put PERSONAL hate to Melovin aside? She critisized his fans, bashing him for being responsible for his fans actions.

About missing another year, well dear, we will come on a power of wheelchair waving our flags and speaking the language you hate the most because Portugal CAN into diversity, in which you, actually, not.

Ukrainian is much more similar to Serbian than Russian. That is not important now hehe

I want to ask, why Ukrainian audience hate Tayanna?

Oh well, I noticed it when she, as many others, tried to concentrate all her thoughts and make a good ukranian sentence. Sometimes, tho

but afaik its kinda obligatory to speak in Ukranian at public channels, like I used to watch a lot Говорит Украина, tho now I hardly ever do it bc I cant get 40% of what's happening XD

 

[henhu]

I haven't seen live performance yet but in studio it's amazing. Another great entry from Ukraine getting from me.

Guys >>>>> Girls (by logic of fangirls). Yes STB's audience is mainly teenagers and older women it seems because we have male acts winning on X-factor last 3 years.

Are you sure? I equally don't understand Russian and Ukrainian. I get the point of conversation, but that's it. To which level a person who speaks Ukrainian understands Russian and vice versa?

She speaks Ukrainian on the TV. She speaks Russian on her concerts and in real life.
English, Ukrainian and Russian in her instagram

Oh, I see! I guess in that real life people easily switch from one language to another or? I am curious now.

I am sure cause I speak Russian very well and when I hear Ukrainian I have feeling it is iyekavian variant of Serbian (Croatian, Bosnian not important). For me difference between Russian and Ukrainian is equal as difference between Slovenian and Serbian, we understand each other but can't speak

For me. for a native speaker of Russian, Serbian and all the ex YU languages sound like oldfashioned Russian I CAN partly agree that Ukranian sounds more close to Serbian and others probably because these languages are unified by grammar and vocabulary and are more distant from Russian, but still Ukranian is closer to Belarussian and Russian historically Russian influenced these languages more same with Ex YU countries they have pretty the same languages with slight differences I bet, because of historical reasons and because of geographical positions.
As for me I watched selection of Ukraine without any problem getting like 80% of words and 100% of the total sense, there were some problems yes, but they didn't annoy me since most of contestants spoke Russian and one judge spoke Russian too And when I watch Balkans I cant get more than 10 - 15% XD and in common sense I get 30 max. Tho when I read I can get a lot. That's just distance of languages from one group

 

[AlekS]

Exactly. I speak to my parents in both languages. I think in English sometimes and it's perfectly ok with me))

There's even another "language" called surzhyk - a mixture of Russian and Ukrainian but it differs from any of them because of an accent It's popular in the Central and Southern Ukraine.

Aha, ok. Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrin are just variants of the same language, of course right - wing nationalists disagree with this, but the reality tells something else. There are no translations etc. Croatian TV stations tried to "translate" Serbian movies on TV and it was hilarious, the entire country was laughing. Slovene is already different and then Macedonian and Bulgarian.

The funny thing though is I understand like 80+% of Macedonian, but I can hardly understand more than let's say 30-40% of Bulgarian. I don't know why, and people keep telling me these two languages are almost the same while I don't get it.
