Indifferent
Just bring on Tayanna with a modern Ukrainian language ethno-Pop booty shaker next year...
Come to think of it, maybe it was good for the Ukrainian broadcaster's budget that she didn't win the selection in 2018 after all, because she could potentially have ended up winning whole Eurovision.

Re: UKRAINE 2019
You're joking right? She'd slay... she does the booty shaking yet has one of the strongest live vocals, and the song is far catchier and more interesting than what you ended up with... but hey, that's just my own prediction...

Re: UKRAINE 2019
Oh no not them, we want Ukraine back on track, not off track...
Anyways it all depends on where Ukraine ends up this year I think, if they end up midscore (which I somehow think they will), I think they will reevaluate the last two years and go back to something that actually works for them.

Re: UKRAINE 2019
Badoev and her stylist will ruin her entry one more time and biased juries will give us another shitload of 0's with her being the queen of the televote which won't save her.
Hopefully she stays in the semi.Hopefully Tayanna will represent Ukraine this time

Re: UKRAINE 2019
Yeah, because being top. 10 in ESC would have been worse than bottom.10 right?

Re: UKRAINE 2019
Nah. Because having so many biased 0's from the juries won't let her in the top 10Yeah, because being top. 10 in ESC would have been worse than bottom.10 right?
Everywhere I go people talk about the juries. There's no point in sacrificing few months of your life & your career for 10th - 26th places or even not qualifying.

Re: UKRAINE 2019
Oh c'mon, Ukraine did great in the past, you just need to send a great entry and act again and neither Melovin nor O.Torvald were that let's be honest
And yeah, I think Tayanna would have made it to the overall top. 10 this year, but we will never found out now will we? If anything Ukraine should take the results and reflect at them instead of acting sore losers. Yeah, he didn't deserve to end up dead last with juries, but the ending result of midscore was what this entry deserved and I said from the get-go that the entry was too basic male Europop that we have heard in various forms in Eurovision before and it didn't help that his English was barely understandable either, and yeah the starting number in the final was also part of the problem (although not sure if it had any effect on juries).
I think Ukraine should go back and look at its general results over the years, and I think the pattern is clear, the last two years fangirls voted for local acts that didn't have very good entries but won due to local popularity, well that isn't gonna help Ukraine in Eurovision, so you should send was was always your strongest suit or do something completely surprising.

Everywhere I go people talk about the juries. Not any single established performer will agree to take part in ESC now, imo.

Re: UKRAINE 2019
Internal selection please.
This new Vidbir, while featuring some interesting new acts, is only 1 out of 3. And, honestly, they really lucked out with Jamala and Hardkiss the first year. None of the other acts in all three years would be a contender for the victory. I don't even know if anyone would even manage Top Ten from this year. Maybe Babkin? And as much as I love Verka, Danylko has no business being on the jury. Neither does Jamala tbh.
The Hardkiss or Khrystyna Soloviy.

Re: UKRAINE 2019
Babkin top. 10? I'm telling you, Tayanna would be top. 10, she's slaying the stage and unlike acts like Eleni, she is so strong live while shaking her but off. Babkin, with the entry he had this year, would be Ukraine's first NQ.
I think something like Constantine could do well though, but he seemed to be vocally off (or too nervous?), but yeah that type of entry could go down well with juries in ESC if performed well.
I agree that it's time for an internal selection again tbh. Vidbir was quite an alright selection in 2016 and 2018, there were some good entries, but like you said only few that would make it in ESC (in 2017 not even a single entry, I know Tayanna was rooted on back then as well, but her entry was just too clichéd unlike her 2018 that was actually effective).

Re: UKRAINE 2019
I agree also that Babkin could've been a NQ. But it's the kind of "real/intimate/sophisticated" act that, if it connects with people, can work. Constantine had probably my favorite song in the selection but he's too inexperienced. He was nervous in the NS, wouldve been a wreck in Lisbon. Plus, the song lacked a catchy chorus.
