The song sucks. It's 3:55 long. I don't want to see them in the lineup simply because of his name or nationality (STB likes to select foreign singers for X Factor) :?

She tagged it on her Instagram as #evrovision2020.

lol

Another potential candidate for Vidbir 2020? The song just got released and is just 3min long.. Andriana is sort of a guilty pleasure for me, with the right staging, a tongue in cheek performance and if she manages live well enough, I wouldn't mind seeing her one day for Ukraine...

[MENTION=4544]A-lister[/MENTION], have you heard about this little track? It's written by Potap and there's a play on words that's kinda dirty. Already has over 1million views in just a couple days.

Omg the ugly guy that was together with Aleksey from Vremya i Steklo in that group New'Z'Kool is back after some 10 years ... I just wondered what happened to him... I can't believe he is only 32 years old!? He looks like 50 !!! (maybe not in the video but just watched their trainwreck performance on X-Factor)...

Not a big fan of the song though... bu yes I kind of get the wordplay here...

To me they come across as a bad version of DILEMMA ...

A little OT ---> PBC plans to join Eurovision Young Musicians 2020 and select our representative via the NF on the radio (with a possible TV broadcast on UA:Culture?).

The venue for our national contest:

What a terrible accent when he sings Ukrainian... just don't do it if your only and primary language is Russian - better keep making songs that suit you better

Does he? Which one? I didn't notice it. Either way, I disagree with you. The more songs in Ukrainian, the better.

I didn't notice any terrible accent Everything else is ...

The only Potap project I can tolerate is Vremya i Steklo (ViS).


ViS gave life-changing concert in the Sports Palace. The TV version will be released in December.
Every song looked like ESC entry

Epic opening:

Biiiiyaaaaatch!

Children from JESC selection and Voice Kids:

O.Torvald lead singer (ESC 2017) with the guitar:

Monatik (ESC 2017 opening act) pre-recorded his part under water:

Vidbir producer was in the venue. He attended TseSho gig in Dnipro as well

Vidbir producer was in the venue. He attended TseSho gig in Dnipro as well [/spoiler]

Kvinta? I thought the producer hasn't been anounced yet? Or am I thinking of some other position?

But yeah, ViS need to just do it already.

 

[AlekS]

They will be in Retro Muisc Hall (Prague) this Sunday.
October 18 - VoxHall (Aarhus)
October 19 - Kraken (Stockhom)
October 20 - Amager Bio (København)

The Ukrainian leg ends in December *fingers crossed*

I don't believe that they would submit an entry but I wasn't expecting KAZKA or Maruv at first too

Kvinta? I thought the producer hasn't been anounced yet?

Yep.
He's still a producer... until the new announcement at least Can't call him "ex".

 

[Fierro]

If ViS submits I will give away my wig on charity

 

[AlekS]

Ok, fortunately I must have totally forgotten about this entrant in the Belarusian selection... that was bad so no wonder if I forgot it already

However with this Kvinta production she seems potentially interesting...

And this is her recent performance:

Comparing to her previous Belarusian entries the improvement is huge.
Wondering if she would submit an entry for Belarus or Ukraine.

 

[WhoKnows]

What is her deal? Is she Ukrainian or Belarussian? The song is in Ukrainian but most of her promo seems to be focused on Belarus.

 

[WhoKnows]

Khayat's new single. I love it.

He should apply for the NF with it. Also, I think he'd have a great chance of winning the NF too. If he has the right people working with him, it could work magnificently on the ESC stage.

 

[AlekS]

The deadline for sending entries is on X-mas, December 25.


Semi #1 - February 8
Semi #2 - February 15
The final - February 22


Kvinta stayed.
Yas! Prytula stayed as the host! They also confirmed Vidbir 2021.
Predictably they copy & pasted JESC rule which prohibited concerts in Russia. They added EBU as another side of the contract.
If the winner refuses to sign the contract, STB & PBC will ask the 2nd place.
The winner shouldn't have problems with the law.


For the first time in history PBC will fund our representative

As I've said before STB and 1 PBC representative will select 14-20 semifinalists.


ps. All the biggest commercial channels have published the news about Vidbir o__0

Are you surprised Kvinta stayed on as music producer [MENTION=4377]AlekS[/MENTION]?

 

[Fierro]

Kvinta, Prytula... they learned nothing.

I really liked Prytula as host at first but from perspective of the performers his behavior towards them looks just rude and disrepectful. If i'd be there I would slap him in face couple of times probably (like drama queen).

Now I will not be surprised if Jamala, Danylko and The Maneken stay on the jury panel. Of these three I can bear only The Maneken as juror. Tired of the rest.

 

[AlekS]

Kvinta, Prytula... they learned nothing.

They've learnt a lot actually and did almost everything I was saying here
You're complaining as always

I agree about Kvinta though. He begged Maruv (against all rules - she was past the deadline!) but he fooled her with the contract. He didn't even give it to her, that was unprofessional. Not a fond that he selects 2-3 obvious choices and 17 "backing vocalists".
But I must thank him for bitching with Alekseev so that car crash represented Belarus and not us.
I'm thankful for involving the 2nd biggest commercial channel. 1+1 is unofficially involved in ESC and uses ESC songs in their shows (Kvinta is the Voice's producer too) and sends their journalists to each Eurovision. Netta performed there. Maruv & the hottest ESC host were at Dancing with the Stars etc.
Even Maruv's song was The whole mess was my most fave NF moment ever. Vidbir entry was better than the whole ESC that year, imo. It wouldn't have happened without Kvinta. We would chose some mediocrity which is equal to non-participation to me.


Prytula is East European Terry Wogan (he lived in the UK so he probably knows Terry). He tells our performers how they look in other people's eyes. If they can't accept the reality then Eurovision is not for their fragile mental state. There was only 1 rude comment about Khayat but he said that because Khayat himself approved.
I'm proud that he didn't silence anything & brought all topics people were raving about before Vidbir last year. He's the only one host who can openly go against producers right during the show and I like him for honesty

Jamala will give birth to a 2nd baby next year. She won't be there. At least for now, lol.

It was a 50/50 situation few months ago, it became more clear that he will stay after STB asked PBC to keep going with Vidbir.
PBC controlled the whole situation. They've got balls to choose internally btw, PBC will be funded enough to forget STB next year but as a public TV they have to involve televoters.
