Omg what's going on?

Didn't you tag me since I'm a Serbian nationalists in Disguise?

Relax, I know you're a normal person, there are no results till tomorrow.

As for performances - Yagody were the best, when App will start working again - my vote is for them. Melovin was good but not great (as expected) and Alyona & Jerry were bad but not so bad to burn their chances of winning, but now door is open. Will be very interesting tomorrow.

Wow. I guess it's better to postpone the results instead of not giving a chance to rhe people to vote for their favourite entry.... even though I was already preparing myself for giving 12 pts to Ukraine this evening.

It's also a great idea to broadcast the show again to give other people/different target audiences the chance to join the vote.

I hesitated between jerry & alyona or melovin, but after tonight, i say YAGODY , YAGODY , YAGODY

But the sound mixing of jerry and alyona was awful. like you could hear the vocals sound good but the soundscape was just off.

Nahaba's song is amazing

If I remember correctly, it was a thing with a few contestants, but I agree that Jerry & Alyona were affected the most of all by it. Strange that they don't perform again for example knowing that this will be broadcasted on the next day. But still it's not only sound mixing, they were pretty disjointed on the stage. Only thing I really like in their performance were visuals behind, they really let me down today.

I don't know... the melody and the ambience grabbed me a bit at first but it becomes a wee bit too repetative after a while. Then they try to break it up with a rap but instead of welcoming the variation it provides I loose interest. I really wish they would have lost the rap...

Jerry basically made the same mistakes as last year... had the best song on paper / fan favourite but couldn't execute her potential in a right way on NF night.

I've managed to vote on app. Can't believe it. My vote went to #10 Yagody, I really want to support them as this was the biggest suprise of the night and they are unknown act.

My friend also texted me that he voted for them. I guess they impressed a lot of regular listeners.

As a neutral - if I put away my love for Melovin for a moment - I'd say Yagody looked the most "Eurovision ready" to me. The religious song fell flat and Melovin sadly was messy. The intro was nice, but then it just went all over the place, not good. Yagody looked immediately like something I can see being an Ukrainian entry at ESC and in general I guess they had a concept that worked for the song.

 

[AlekS]

Everyone had sound issues, but almost all our ESC participants had sound issues on Eurovision (Jamala's ear piece didn't work in the final, Go_A had to perform twice at the jury show in the semi) and they should be able to withstand this shit in Malmö
Jerry Heil suffered the most because she performed without ear piece since the very first seconds of the song. alyona alyona - they muted her when she was doing backing vocals. Backing vocalists sounded loud. 1+1 keeps having the worst sound engineers for another year. But if this is their worst performance then I'm voting for them

Melovin - I loved the staging, but I'm not fond of a song. Even tho I certainly don't mind being represented by a gay anthem. The person in charge of his makeup should be fired.

YAGODY - awesome energy and staging, but I'm not sure if they will stand out like the duo or Melovin. Especially in the witch-semi.

From the audience. Jerry sounds great, Alyona was muted.

Does the ukranian broadcast usually hires someone to stage the songs for eurovision or it is up for the artists to do it?

 

[Gera11]

My favourites are :
1. Yagody
2. Melovin
3. Alyona Alyona & Jerry Heil
4. Anka

I personally think that Yagody has the most interesting entry out of these, and it's good that they're in a different semi than Gåte because they won't clash. Mélovin was an absolute slayage, I enjoyed his performance a lot. The song itself isn't super strong, but he sold it well. As for "Teresa & Maria", I'm not really sure on those lyrics and the emphasis on Mother Teresa, but other than that it's pretty nice. Anka is probably the only totally chanceless fave I have, but she had a nice performance.

Suspilne hires production company. Usually it's a different company every year. Performers have creative freedom, the art director discusses with them what they want. Tvorchi, for instance, hired another director responsible for staging and he worked together with Vidbir team.

Speaking of DREVO guy, his behaviour and appearance is super creepy to me. I get that he's very confident, but i felt highly uncomfortable whenever they interacted with him

 

[FilipFromSweden]

I have to say, the Mother Theresa song is good but it's not that good. I think the biggest issue for me is that Jerry, like last year, is not fully realized as an artist yet and is still figuring things out in terms of her artistry. She looks unsure and timid on stage. I am a big Melovin fan so ofc I am biased and want to see him go again

It's a difficult decision, it's true, but I'm withdrawing my candidacy in the National Selection for Eurovision 2024.

This decision was difficult for me, but still, I'm about creativity, about music, about the stage, about the show, about work, about the song, about MY people, about you , about all of us. Everything that is happening now is not about the above, and not about me. Unfortunately, the vote cannot be returned at the moment, and I trust the moment. "ACTION" worked at night, in the morning it did not work again, now, as far as I know, it is working again. Votes could be counted incorrectly. I understand that this is a big system, it is a failure and everyone has the same conditions, but again, I am in favor of a transparent and clear vote, which is at the moment.
I am not interested in participating in these PR races that have developed because of this situation, "there are no winners in this marathon" - the words from my song are more relevant today than ever. I remain true to myself and my messages, my meanings that I carried me and my song. Please, if you didn't manage to shout through the song, listen now! In any situation, stay People, because "Time is running out"! Don't lose yourself and don't lose each other.
