Re: UKRAINE 2019 - Maruv - Siren Song

A good performance for opening or ending the Final in Tel Aviv. It's quite a show (maybe too much sexy for everyone of the Eurovision audience) and it will be a fan favourite. Anyway, I don't like the song. Good luck Ukraine.

I agree, it would be a good song to open the final, but I don't think the delegation would take that 2 years in a row.

I am deceased. Finally, a good banger.

Re: UKRAINE 2019 - Maruv - Siren Song

They will not. They've already issued a statement and the TV host read it before the voting started.

I assumed that was the case but people trying to turn Jamala into a villain are saying it was a possibility UA would stop Maruv representing them so thanks for the clarification.

Yup, didn't remember. Then let them close if they pick 2nd half

Yessssssss! My favourite won! Finally one country makes the correct choice. Last year Ukraine made a mistake (considering my taste ... and not only) choosing Melovin over Tayanna / Kadnay but not this time around.

Tel Aviv will be scorching hot this May We were in dire need of it after this streak of already announced entries.

Yeees, we need something hot! Well done.

Re: UKRAINE 2019 - Maruv - Siren Song

So funny reading the "gays won" comments because I wouldn't say heterosexuals lost. This year Ukraine gets votes from all gay men, straight men and lesbians.

I don't like neither the song, nor the performance. Kazka was thousands times better.

Yaaaas, give us some slutpop in ESC! I like this song, sure it isn't a Eurovision winner, but it gives us some edge in the contest. Good choice Ukraine! Bang!

Re: UKRAINE 2019 - Maruv - Siren Song

I doubt the great success of this song with the jury, but for the audience one of the top 5 ..for sure.

In top 10.... but if Russia needed to win, EBU will then install the victory UKR,if UKR is in top 5.

Very easily it can happen Kiev 2020 ,not because of a good ..excelent song, but because of Russia.

Do not be surprised by that scenario..!


Only everyone needs to know ( especially Jamala ) that the Crimea will not be returned to Ukraine due esc

Re: UKRAINE 2019 - Maruv - Siren Song

I was really hoping for Freedom Jazz, now i don't know what to think.... but this is a level of trashiness and vulgarity we haven't really seen in the contest for a decade now. I just hope they won't try to "tone it down for ESC, then it will just get boring....

My thoughts exactly, she looks like a prostitute. Is that the image Ukraine wishes to show Europe ?

Re: UKRAINE 2019 - Maruv - Siren Song

Oh, another thing: Ukrainians finally decided to stop experimenting with guys at ESC They do really bad when they send male singers. Just stick to your beautiful ladies.

Also, Maruv obviously can sing, her voice just a bit "slutty" or I don't know how to describe, it fits perfectly withe the song.

If she looks like prostitute, then it's an expensive one... And that's ok.

Wow, a fan-favourite won a NF for once this year Just watched the final performance, while it is pretty hot, I'm not totally crazy for this song (yet). 10 points for now ^^

Looks not expensive for me. Somehow I feel ashamed when I see the entry. I don't know how Ukrainians feel about it ?!

Well... It came 1st in televote.

Re: UKRAINE 2019 - Maruv - Siren Song

Don't worry kids, Ukraine will make it look expensive in Tel Aviv. Their NF is just low budget.

It's not just sexy ... it oozes with sex. I would advise to tone it down circa 5%. Tad too much stripper-wriggling from Maruv that can come across as vulgar combined with the outfit and the song itself but I love the choreography so they should recreate it in Tel Aviv I think. Her vocals are not super either imho, on key but kinda too silent / she loses herself little bit in the backing track and her English pronounciation is garbled so there are plenty of things she should improve on.

Re: UKRAINE 2019 - Maruv - Siren Song

Just on the song alone:

THE GOOD:
-Overall, the song is a bop, for sure.
-The instrumentation is neat.

THE BAD:
-The vocals seem quiet.
-I don't get a clear idea of what genre this song wants to be.

Considering everything:

THE VERDICT:
After watching a performance of the song just now, I'm going to give this song two scores. Overall, it's quite the seductive song. At first, I didn't really get what she was trying to do with it, but after watching the performance, I get it now. This is a case of the song being meant to be performed and not just sung. Therefore, I'm giving the song itself 7 points and giving the performance of it 8 points.
