Ukraine UKRAINE 2024 - Alyona Alyona & Jerry Heil - Teresa & Maria

[ESC United Mod Team]

What an NF ...! Amazing.
When I listened to INGRET — „Keeper“, it was perfect and I thought no other song in this NF could top it. I was wrong. My most favorite song is MÉLOVIN – „Dreamer“ indeed - and I say that as someone who didn't like MÉLOVIN before. Wonderful composition and amazing voice. So my top 3 are:

MÉLOVIN – „Dreamer“
INGRET — „Keeper“
ANKA – „Palala“

 

[Fierro]

YAGODY for the win

I'm not impressed with Jerry Heil & alyona alyona song at all.

 

[Looren]

Yup clearly best NF of the season so far :

1. alyona alyona & Jerry Heil - Teresa & Maria
2. Melovin - Dreamer

3. YAGODY - Tsunamia
4. Ziferblat - Place I Call Home

5. Nahaba - Glasss (yeah don't ask, I have no idea why I like it so much)
6. Skylerr - Time Is Running Out
7. INGRET - Keeper
8. ANKA - Palala

9. Drevo - Endless Chain

10. Nazva - Slavic English
11. Yaktak - Lalala

What a NF, my 8th would've been in my top 4 in most of other NFs

 

[jatojo]

Teresa & Maria need to work on their English. Not only the pronunciation.

In general, I don't share the excitement about this NF. But I know Ukraine has a lot of fans among the ESC enthusiasts.

 

[AlekS]

Btw, is this YAKTAK on J and A backing vocals?

who do you think will win?

Jerry Heil and alyona alyona are the most popular at this particular moment.

Yaktak has the largest young fanbase who will vote for him no matter what.

Melovin is famous and he inspired the coming out of Vidbir co-producer from 1+1, so I'm sure 1+1 will do awesome staging for him.

YAGODY can be a dark horse a la Go_A. So it's between these 4.

I'm let down by "Slavic English"... My gut feeling did me wrong this time

So who do i want to win?

Once every blue moon i have to agree with @rasmuslights, so The Council of Slovenia has unanimously agreed that you guys should send Alyona Alyona and Jerry Heil

Incredible edition of Vidbir from but Teresa & Maria could win Eurovision so I have to go for Jerry Heil & alyona alyona

Yagody brought an ethno-banger and are easily in my top 3 nf songs this year so far. Nahaba are really interesting too although not sure they will pull off those vocals live. My third place for now. Skylerr was a finalist this time around. She brought a much stronger song than last time. Anka only 5th place for me in this selection is crazy with how much I like the song. It was my clear favorite from the Wildcard choices.

Likewise Ingret and Nazva outside my top 5 but this selection is just so damn strong. Ingret has a dark folk song with pretty hypnotic lyrics. Nazva have a clever and catchy joke song about Slavic people speaking English with an accent.

SLAY (this must mean something since we never like the same things)

 

[Bmbriga]

The Slavic English guy is speaking English too good for this song.
On the other hand, if Melovin decided to sing that song

There was never a better singer-song match in the history of ESC.

 

[DirtyFalcon]

I will go against the majority here but i'm not that impressed with Vidbir this year. The level is quite weak in my opinion, pretty much in line with last year, clearly far worse compared to 2022, 2021 and even 2020 which were 3 insane editions. Alyona Alyona with Jerry Heil are my favourites here but still not totally impressed by this entry. Everybody is speaking about this song as Eurovision winner material but clearly i don't see it.

Top 10 seems to be a safer bet right now. Ukraine always stage their entries very well so they will do well if they choose the duet. I would love to see Alina Pash competing again in Vidbir one day. "Shadow of Forgotten Ancestors" would have smashed this edition.

 

[Serena00]

I like Anka, Yaktak, Yagody and Drevo. I will vote for one of them, depending on the live performances

 

[aef]

Wow Melovin - Dreamer is such an epic banger. I think I felt 100 emotions at the same time while listening to the song for the first time 5 min ago. I mean it's overproduced a f but somehow it works so well, at least for me haha. It has written guilty pleasure song all over it. I had goosebumps all over my body. manages so well to always have so many songs with an epic beat in their NF, very stunning.



But... all in all I have to say that this Vidbir edition is not among the strongest ones.

 

[AlekS]

It's been 8 hours since the release and Jerry Heil & alyona alyona are trending at #13 on YT.

winner alert. this can win eurovision.

I don't understand the starting hype about this song, in my opinion it's very boring tbh.

 

[aef]

Anyone else here liking Nahaba - Glasss too? At least the first 2 minutes? The screaming at the end ruins the song though.

I'm yeah, what you said haha... it ruins the song :/


also Jerry and Alyona now have more than double the likes and almost double the comments of Melovin's video (who is currently the 2nd most watched). The hype is real.

 

[Leydan]

Yeah.. no. Sorry, but Vidbir isn't typically for me. I can see why so many love it and hype it, but the line up rarely ever does anything for me and this year is no different. I guess Teresa & Maria is ok, but I don't think it's anything particularly Earth Shattering at all. LaLaLa I can enjoy to an extent but it's kinda mid. Dreamer from Melovin is the only song I would go back to and listen to again, it's a quality song I can get behind. I just hope his English has improved. The rest I have no opinion of or don't like at all.

 

[njdevils94]

Drevo - the last place of Vidbir is secured.

to this comment. Drevo sounds like it came from a totally different selection. I don't understand how it went straight to the final.

 

[Mainshow]

especially since most Wildcard entries have been superior to Drevo's song!

to this comment. Drevo sounds like it came from a totally different selection. I don't understand how it went straight to the final.

and the music producer of vidbir was strangely enthused about him at the conference?
