as much as I love Zlata and also Anastasia, it's about time for Ukraine to look for a male artist to represent them. Though of course this is secondary.
Considering how many male acts have already been selected so far, I wouldn't say so. ESC 2016 is shaping up to be like ESC 2007, in that year almost all the acts tried to copy the winning formula of the previous year, but at the end something totally different won, and deservedly so. In 2016 we will have tons of male acts trying to have songs like "Heroes", "Rhythm inside", "Tonight again" and so on and on, and also many rock songs, paving the way for the most different act to win. Therefore, standing out will have to be a priority, especially for such a successful country like Ukraine. This is how it should be, although I don't expect someone from Austria (a country that in ESC always had a strong predilection for male acts) to understand what I said.
1) I was just looking at the artists Ukraine chose so far since they participate. And they only had one male artist as far as I remember (or two if you count Verka)
2) Thus said, I'd prefer if you don't use these silly kind of generalizations. (The austrians, a country that...). There is absolutely no way to prove this statement and its quite easy to disprove it.
Furthermore I perceive your "i don't expect someone... to understand" formula as quite patronizing if not arrogant thus rather insulting. I hope that this was not your intention, but otherwise, if you are looking for someone to quarrel with, I'm not in for that.
*waiting for a male artist to submit his gr8 song finally*it's about time for Ukraine to look for a male artist to represent them.
the only thing that matters in ESC, namely the SONG
1) They had 3 male acts, and in any case, ESC is a song contest, therefore only the song matters, the gender of the singer is an irrelevant detail which should never be taken into consideration, and the fact that it actually is proves how much there are problems within' the ESC-fanbase. Look at all the wave of fanwank about Sergey Lazarev when nobody knows what kind of song he will sing (and it will be liked anyway).

How much more hypocrite can you get
+ praising women with strong voices lasts for centuries here. Women's "choirs" in every village is a must. I have 2 of them in my block (Birthdays, weddingd or funerals - gosh they sound awesome). My female neighbours sing too when they're in the mood.And well, Ukraine almost always used to send women. Since they both looked perfect and all of them had hell of a voice, I don't get the part why they shouldn't repeat the thing they're best at.
Tonya Matviyenko is working with the same producer from Lama's team who produced her duo with Lama.
They are going to choose between 2 songs.
Pryhod'ko's song features Armenian ethnic instrument blul.
this is how it sounds for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sY0TNt5JprM
My suspicions about ethno-"Disney" music grow bigger...
Surely it's his intention, It's Gianluca we're talking about
Not female = Sad Gianluca

Nothing is official but it seems Zlata prepared a different song for the NF after all. Also wondering if her studio work in January is somehow connected with this.
