Ukraine UKRAINE 2016 - Jamala - 1944

[sapsan]

Her "biggest" rival in Semi 2 will most likely be Norway.

Agnete will become a real Icebreaker if wins instead of Jamala.

Yeah I think that the main Jamala's competitors stayed in NF's of their countries (mean Finland and Denmark) and one more competitor will stay in MF (mean Lisa Ajax)

 

[Fierro]

and one more competitor will stay in MF (mean Robin Bengtsson)

Fixed.

 

[ivanich]

That cover is really good btw. Are those guys Ukrainian?

At least the soloist is ukrainian by citizenship and crimean tatar by nationality.

Since 200 pages are here, I'd just like to know if there will be any improvements in the song or they're gonna keep it as it is for now?

They won't be making any changes to it.

Reaction of russians and serbs is so 'unpredictable'

I never watch the competition from the political point of view .

 

[nunaney]

I'm pretty sure this is going to stay my #1 for the year. Croatia was the only one who had the potential to beat this song and that certainly didn't happen.

Too bad this song won't win

YES No art censoring

Jamala was on a catwalk presenting Ukraine's football uniform for Euro 2016.

I don't know why Jamala reminded me of someone else and I couldn't put my finger on who it was. Now, I got it.
They don't really look alike, but her face gives me some La Grande Sophie vibes (a French singer) The hairdo might help though

 

[AlekS]

Constantine Tomil'chenko (STB) is the art director.
They are already rehearsing:

Her movements will be a continuation of the graphics on the screens & on the floor with the 3D reality effect.

Alternative staging includes the dancers.

 

[LakZaNokte]

Well, this is an odd one.
Unfortunately, it's not odd in my style.

4 pts for this year.
Sorry

 

[tsegaye]

It's going to be amazing. Slay Jamala!

It's going to be amazing. Slay Jamala!

Ukraine always does well in esc
Even the entries I hated did well

Generally speaking, I love Ukraine in esc. I always adore or despise their entries, they never fall flat. And I appreciate that, that's why I like them

 

[Fierro]

Guy from Jamala interview was in The Hardkiss music video "Organ" #conspiracy

 

[Kairit]

I still get chills every time I see the final performance and that pretty much never happens to me anyway. Just amazing...

 

[tuorem]

Ukraine will slay this once again. They've never disappointed me staging-wise, so I expect visuals that will enhance the power of 1944.
