Re: UKRAINE 2016

Jamala's song gave me chills. I'm Team Jamala all the way!

But I'd be fine with Hardkiss or Tonya winning too

Re: UKRAINE 2016

There are so many of these big names a few are going to be extremely disappointed when its all finished. I'll be disappointed if the days after don't feature any tabloid mess :lol:

Re: UKRAINE 2016

After listen almost all the songs from the first semifinal (With the exception of Brunettes Shoot Blondes) my ranking is 1 - Aida Nikolaychuk (Her snippet song is the best from i hear from this semi), then The Hardkiss and Jamala should qualify.

The underdogs could be Nastya Prihodko, Brunettes Shoot Blondes (if their song is good) and Tonya Matvienko.

Re: UKRAINE 2016

Nor normally one to board a hype train, but The Hardkiss have a brilliant song. Jamala's is cool, but never reaches that final level to blow me away. Hardkiss to win the ticket!

Re: UKRAINE 2016

Jamala's song leaves me near speechless... that final chorus. It totally took me by surprise and gave me ridiculous goosebumps. I think this dark, moody gem is the song for Ukraine to be honest with you. They've gotta pick this if it all comes together live. It's on another level to the rest, and that's saying something as there are some pretty great songs here. The only thing i'd say is that I think it really could do with another 10 seconds of the final chorus. It's like the greatest eargasm ever but it's over far too soon. The song is stupidly good as it is now, it just could be made even better probably.

I'm a NeAngely fan but their song is a massive letdown. Average drum and bass pop track. It sounds like something Emeli Sande discarded of and their unique voices somehow don't even manage to lift it. Don't pick them please Ukraine. Wait until they come back with a more fun/interesting song.

Re: UKRAINE 2016

So three big releases today in Ukraine, my opion of them is:

For Nuangely, not a bad song, but it is not their strongest song I've heard though. I like the chorus, but in the same time it is a little weak to go all the way I think.

For The Hardkiss, what a wonderful voice she has, it really captivates me. I expected a more uptempo song, but it is still a high quality song. Would totally be a song to support in May for me! :mrgreen:

Jamalas song isn't either what I expected....but WOW WHAT A SONG! Really stunning song, feels really special and meaningful to her. This is the one to send to Stockholm for me Ukraine, please go for it! :D

Re: UKRAINE 2016

Jamala's song is dark and dramatic, it just needs a beautiful staging and i'm sure Jamala will bring it.
The Hardkiss' song is unexpectedly dark too, is the chorus is in Ukrainian? It's also very contemporary, unique and beautiful. It's probably gonna be a close call between them and Jamala tomorrow.
The third big release, the song of NuAngels is very weak compared to these two. You just wait for a strong chorus but it never comes.

Re: UKRAINE 2016

I think all the ones who say that NeAngely's song is weak is only because they listened to the demo, and not the final version. Otherwise there are no other plausible explanations on why they say this.

Apart from the fact that your taste is not everyone's taste and that weak means different things for different people? xshrug I don't think it's particularly strong really, I think it's a complete let down considering what they're capable of and doesn't break the mould at all.

Re: UKRAINE 2016

I just listened to Jamala's song; from the first 5 seconds, I was hooked. What an absolutely stunning song. God, can it please be her?
