I mean the televote is theirs. And also I can't see them doing worse than 2nd with the jury.

I can't wait for Vidbir - I finally need a national final in which one of my favourite entries win.

 

[Kam2]

Vidbir 2024 scheduled runtime this Saturday (which will most probably overrun )
Vidbir preshow on Suspilne Kultura and local Vidbir livestream : 16:30-17:00 CET
Vidbir 2024 final 17:00-20:45 CET

 

[Mainshow]

3 hours and 45 minutes?

Damn, hopefully, we'll be getting an 1-hour-Max-Barskih-concert in between to make up for it.

Music video for SKYLERR's song Time Is Running Out

 

[AlekS]

No double, no backing vocalists (there will be backing vocalists on Vidbir tho), just their vocals and reverb

It's a wrap, crown those divas

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I can't wait for Vidbir - I finally need a national final in which one of my favourite entries win.

I'm quietly optimistic that some of my number one favourites will start winning NFs soon. Bambie Thug was the start and it looks like alyona alyona & Jerry Heil could be a lock for Ukraine now. The odds are super favourable to them too.

For Portugal and Finland my favourites are also first in the odds. (Though Portugal is a lot tighter...)

 

[EscGeek]

I'm going absolutely apeshit on Alyona's rap solo.

Definitely in the realm of Flo Rida, Jenny B & Jala Brat. It doesn't get any better than that

 

[AlekS]

Teresa & Maria is aiming at 5th best week for Ukrainian song on Youtube ever.
1 million views during last 2 days.

A remix is trending at #27.

The song is trending at #2 in Czechia, very close to #30 in Poland.

 

[AliceEsc]

What a great NF. I don't think I dislike a single song here. Well, maybe the slavic english one.

My shared 1st place: Alyona Alyona & Jerry Heil - Nahaba
2nd: Ziferblat
3rd: Ingret

I'd be happy with any of these, but the smart choice here is obviously "Teresa & Maria".

 

[FilipFromSweden]

I am a huge fan of Melovin and ofc I am a sucker for Dreamer / Dreamlover.

I respect that Alyona and Jerry have something unique and high quality going for them, but it's in no way a song I would listen to. Ukraine never votes in predictable ways so anything could happen.

Teresa & Maria picture video is at #1 in Youtube Weekly chart with 2.4 million views. It's the biggest viewing figures in Ukraine since August 2022

You are referring to this as the picture video I'm assuming?

 

[Fierro]

I will be looking for live performances in the first place. Some of the participants will flop live so it's likely alyona alyona & Jerry Heil to be the main contenders. MELOVIN is potentially an epic alternative outcome. I think my no.1 favorite YAGODY will probably sound less impressive than in studio, too difficult song to perform flawlessly.

I wonder if Teresa & Maria will have longer life cycle and replayability than Stefania. I didn't find it special when I listened to it on release day, but then in grew on me, and now because I hear it too often on some social media, it gets a bit tiring. If ESC fans, especially from abroad, love it, why not? It's a nice song, solid representative. But if no one comes as a big positive surprise on 3rd February i won't feel particularly flurried about our ESC performance this year. With all due respect to Jerry Heil, she's talented and hard worker; it's just my personal take and personal taste, I know it doesn't really matter.

 

[AlekS]

According to Ingret, the voting will last for 1 hour.
People who never had Diia (especially elderly & young) will be able to update it, or download the app and confirm their identity in time.

Yep.

There are loads of backing vocals in there, it's evident. Since I'm against pre-recorded backing vocals in song contests, especially in the chorusses, I'll never get fully behind this entry (same with Czechia last year), but I think it's a good track as such.

 

[AlekS]

I said vocalists, not vocals
That performance is very much centered on their vocals.

There are loads of backing vocals in there

Just the beginning for 17 sec - most def will be performed live by ethno backing vocalists on Vidbir.
Male backing vocals at 1:25 for 7 sec, it's toned down & he sounds "beneath" their vocals.
1:50 - male backing vocals for 15 sec, most def will be performed live by backing vocalist on Vidbir
Everything else is a reverb of their live vocals. I can't tell if it's backing vocals or reverb in the chorus, it's so insignificant.

17 sec of their own voices + 22 sec of male backing vocals, less than 1/4th of the song.

Since I'm against pre-recorded backing vocals in song contests

Will you change your position if there will be live backing vocalists on Vidbir? Or you'll keep searching for excuses to dislike them?
