:lol: :lol: :lol:

Weird you say this for Max because he had the most weak vocals (after Galai) and nothing special in choreography. One of many entries of such kind, easily pawned by almost everyone in the semi (with many male "uptempo" performers).
I would say that Max was not very powerfull at the stage...like he was nervus or affraid something.Thats why he has not massive impact.

I have to say - this makes no sense :?

sorry

You have a song that is going to be the theme for Europe's biggest football tournament... isn't it simple logic that as a marketing platform for Ukraine co-hosting Euro 2012, they would want the rest of Europe to hear the song beforehand at Europe's biggest song contest? This makes perfect sense.

You don't need to fix anything if you're the most popular and saying welcome to people is such a crime ))), there's not a single word about football btw.

Think you need a hearing aid. Max sang great live; Gaitana was very pitchy and all over the place vocally.

He was my fave before the NF, I could vote for him and Gaitana ... but he bombed live.
That's why I didn't vote for Jamala last year. Max became another disappointment.
What's the point in sending the same stuff with many other performers in the semi? With such pale performance he would get lost 4sure, no matter how good would be his staging.

Euro 2012 will have another anthem :)
And this song has not a single word about football.
oh, good :D

ok, I see where he's going with that...Ukraine is the host, singing "be my guest" etc...
but seriously, european championship doesn't really need extra promotion xshrug
we all know where it's gonna be :D

Exactly. In fact Euronews promoted Eurovision via Euro 2012 :/

If we hosted something else people would found another lame excuse. Gosh, it's such a crime :lol:
People prefered it too so it's not cruel juries wanting to promote something.

Not really, because Euro 2012 will have another anthem :lol:

Doesn't have to have a word about football to be a theme song for Ukraine's hosting - 'Be my guest' ...

Gaitana was poor yesterday live. I liked her before hearing her rendition yesterday. Max won the live vocal head-to-head comfortably. 'Dance' would have been a top 10-er; Gaitana will struggle unless her vocal improves and the choreo and staging is a lot better.

How come so many people are so addicted to either give 0 points or 12 points? Always choose the extremes, huh? If you would really listen to the songs and give them a fair chance, while still being critic towards them, then the result of these polls wouldn't be so pathetic:)

A good song but it's kinda overshadowed by the screamy vocals in the live version. I think I'll give it 6 :)

Max would've been a much better choice :L

The pts system on here is utterly flawed. You should not be allowed to vote until we know all songs, and when you vote you should award pts from 1 to 12 the same as a jury would on 10 countried only, the rest scoring nil.

After listening to the song: :shock:ma:d:
For my taste it's slightly better then Loboda 2009 (which is worst Ukrainian entry so far, imo), but...I don't get it...her singing is catastrophic...and jury liked it?:?
And the singer...I dunno, she's rather cheap then sexy. Maybe some other performance and approach to the song can improve it...we'll see. 1st impression...not so good. I'll give it 4 cause it's up tempo.
I also think this song is more suitable for EURO, then Eurovision, but ok...
Oh, and Max Barskih would be better choice, but...'spilled milk'....nevermind.
Good luck! I hope for some work on this song and singer, both.

Gaitana: We are going to improve the entry completely. From different costumes to different arrangement.

Today she was at the hospital. She will try to heal her vocal cords and recover faster.

I would have prefer Gaitana with a song in ukrainian or russian. She has really nice songs, like for example> Kapli dozhdya, samotna bossa, tansi or dva vikna.
As for this song i give 5 because its uptempo, has national instruments and her decent live singing (even though it wasnt the best).
