February 21, 20169 yr This is descending into chaos! The jury could sink SunSay as well as Jamala based on that, The Hardkiss could sneak through here :heehee:
February 21, 20169 yr YASSS at Jamala winning. Honestly that national final went on for what it seemed days. GOD.
February 21, 20169 yr I'd have thought you'd sympathise with someone doing the equivalent of dropping a track from 1st to 20th in their rankings with barely any change to explain it. i do the opposite thank you very much
February 21, 20169 yr if we can trust wiki jamala and hardkiss both got 11 (5+6) and since jamala was top of the televote she won. yay
February 21, 20169 yr Can Ukraine have an internal selection for 2017 please? And for it to be NeAngely.
February 21, 20169 yr if we can trust wiki jamala and hardkiss both got 11 (5+6) and since jamala was top of the televote she won. yay Yep that's correct! Jamala won with 37% of the televote, fantastic! :heart:
February 21, 20169 yr It's really amazing how she's gone from this horrible song: zFRS2KdXImE To this amazing one: YvYRJaYu-Xk :cheer:
February 21, 20169 yr '1944' is oddly captivating, almost hypnotic so I'm glad to see Jamala go to Stockholm!
February 21, 20169 yr i was about to have a heart attack seeing you post here again. WAS IT SUDDENLY DISQUALIFIED?! WAS IT CHANGED TO ANOTHER ENTRY?! WHY WOULD RYAN POST HERE AGAIN A FEW MINUTES AFTER SHE WON?!
February 21, 20169 yr Author i was about to have a heart attack seeing you post here again. WAS IT SUDDENLY DISQUALIFIED?! WAS IT CHANGED TO ANOTHER ENTRY?! WHY WOULD RYAN POST HERE AGAIN A FEW MINUTES AFTER SHE WON?! Nah babe, Germany's in four days.
February 21, 20169 yr Author That mess of a NF aside, I expect this is going to be if not the biggest then at least one of the biggest stories of the year come Stockholm time (indeed some lightning fast journoqueen has already got in there with the Guardian article). Don't rule this out.
February 21, 20169 yr That mess of a NF aside, I expect this is going to be if not the biggest then at least one of the biggest stories of the year come Stockholm time (indeed some lightning fast journoqueen has already got in there with the Guardian article). Don't rule this out. I think even though I do love The Hardkiss as a band I'm happy this has won because of that reason. I think people will be expecting the comeback Ukrainian entry to have some element of political subtext in it. And this is quite a tasteful way to do it. It's also a rather good song and I think I might even prefer it to Helpless in time.
February 21, 20169 yr woah, I thought many other contestants would take part in this... anyway, Pur:Pur didn't impress me at all, Runnin' (Lose It All) is okay, Hardkiss' song is gorgeous but hard-to-memorize, Brunettes Shoot Blondes are the best for me (cool echo to some kind of British music), SunSay - um, too rubbish, Jamala is good but this balance between being lachrymose and strong as a stone (with this Loic Nottet's minimalism) made me feel kinda uncomfortable. So my unnecessary thought is BSB to be #1.
March 9, 20169 yr The EBU have confirmed that the reference group have decided that '1944' doesn't contain political speech and does not break Eurovision rules, and rightly so! :cheer:
March 26, 20169 yr Fascinating interview with Jamala in the video below, amazing insights into the meaning of the song beyond what we had already read and we get to meet her adorable dog too! LqH3xpBmgd4
