UKRAINE 2012 - Gaitana - Be My Guest

[A-lister]

Νοt necessary.
Ebu cares only for the music and the lyrics,not the arrangment.

I have ALWAYS wondered about this and no one could really give an answer.

I was confused with all the revamped versions dropping after the submission date, but I guess they are allowed to change then?

Exacly.
Ebu wants to know the singer,the lyrics,and the music.
The arrangment is something completely diferent.

But new arrangement changes the music aswell (sometimes just a little - sometimes more) ?

hmm not necessary (imao).

 

[A-lister]

Not always, but sometimes.

I actually don't know the exact rules.

 

[AlekS]

I asked her and she said that the final version will be sent to the radios next week.
She will start shooting the music video in the last week of March-beginning of April.
I assume that instrumental is official.

 

[AlekS]

More info about her dress: She will choose among few dresses by different designers.

According to her own words Kamenskaya & Kononova duo have already created few dresses. Though nothing is sure if she chooses them.






EDIT: I've just seen her performance on STB channel.
The intro sounds softer and more professional.
Though there were backing vocals so I assume it's not her ESC version )))

It was a playback but after performance she sang one line live. Her vocals are perfect and everything is ok now Her dress was better and comparing to the NF she danced her ass off.

 

[GRE]

Αleks do you have a video?

 

[AlekS]

No video yet.
The final version won't differ almost. Instead cheesy "na-na-na" backing vocals there will be trumpets, it seems.

As for her performance @STB. I'm satisfied. She looked awesome, the project's dancers who danced with Gaitana sucked comparing to her

 

[AlekS]

As I've said playback was the channel's demand. The dancers are from the show, it's not her dancers (she was incredible comparing to the NF omg , very energetic) the audience was dead (1 AM) until her performance.

 

[WhoKnows]

I have no problems with her movements or voice (I know she was lip syncing there, but I mean in general) and she did look better there than at the NF. I love the hair and makeup. But I still think she has a way to go. The dress, while better, is still too cheap and tacky. She needs a sexy but chic dress to give her a more sophisticated look. Maybe something in black even. Glad to hear the dancers aren't a part of her team because they were terrible and the choreo was a mess. The whole performance was kind of all over the place to be honest. No direction. But even with all that, it's obvious how she just pulls the viewers in. Very audience friendly song/performance.

I think this hairstyle would work best for ESC.

 

[Knubelznarm]

This song is like a mix of 90's and african + east-european sounds. I like it

 

[GRE]

Thanks Aleks for the video!
She is great!

Aww, they're the catchiest bit

[A-lister]

If I got her Facebook (uh oh) news correct, she'll be wearing a traditional Ukrainian wreath on stage in Baku

Something like she wears in this picture:
