January 25, 20187 yr Author (Last country thread of the year!) Ukraine's Vidbir which gave the country its best ever Eurovision result AND its worst ever result is back for 2018. The acts competing for the Ukrainian ticket to Lisbon are: Constantine Dmitriev Serhiy Babkin Laud Kazka The VYO Kozak System Vilna pur:pur The Erised Ingret Kostenko Mélovin Julinoza Tayanna Kadnay Yurcash Mountain Breeze Illaria Dilemma Most of the songs are available to listen to online now.
January 25, 20187 yr Really liked "Time" last year, and after initially hating it grew to love "1944" as well. Ukraine are pretty consistent. Let's be honest, Verka Serduchka and Ani Lorak were robbed. They're the Sweden of the east!
February 22, 20187 yr Author The 6 finalists are: Kadnay - Beat Of The Universe Laud - Waiting Mélovin - Under The Ladder Tayanna - Lelya The Erised - Heroes Vilna - Forest Song Can't decide whether to back Mélovin or Tayanna.
February 23, 20187 yr Can't decide whether to back Mélovin or Tayanna. Yes, that's been my dilemma as well! But I think I'm gonna back Tayanna even though her staging was a bit messy in the semi final, because Lelya is just so joyous and infectious (although I'm sceptical about a possible rumoured English version). The slightly bizarre lyrics of Melovin's song are just putting me off a little at the moment.
February 23, 20187 yr I think Melovin's probably the slight favorite to win this at the moment given he won the televote in the semi and was second with the juries. If she can win it though I'd prefer Tayanna as I think that'd really add some more variety to this year's lineup. But given this is Ukraine I'm not going to rule out something winning by coming second on both and winning the ticket to Lisbon that way.
February 23, 20187 yr Author TOMORROW'S NATIONAL FINAL... UKRAINE Vidbir 24th February 2018 Begins at 5pm in the UK and 7pm in Ukraine. The show is scheduled to last 84 years. Watch the selection via the official UA YouTube channel. Running order Voting format The voting will be 50% jury voting and 50% televoting. The favourites to win It's widely expected to be a two horse race between Tayanna and Mélovin, with the latter slightly edging ahead.
February 24, 20187 yr Verka just accused Tayanna of miming with the use of lots of Ukrainian expletives oop
February 24, 20187 yr Tayanna proved him wrong but singing part of the track again and an angry man shouting at Verka followed Flashbacks to Linda Martin!
February 24, 20187 yr Angry man turns out to be Tayanna’s PR and he told Verka to go **** himself amongst other things

February 24, 20187 yr Author ESCKAZ Team #Eurovision #Ukraine #EuroSTB2018 Jamala thinks there will be many uptempo songs in the Eurovision and she is unsure if there's a place fo such a mid-tempo among them.
February 24, 20187 yr Author Tayanna wins the jury vote with Mélovin second! I assume Mélovin will have walked the televote so even it Tayanna gets second he'll still have won.
February 24, 20187 yr Both are fantastic, Melovin edges it just for me so would like to see him win the televote!
February 24, 20187 yr Author Both are fantastic, Melovin edges it just for me so would like to see him win the televote! Agreed, Ukraine coming to win YET AGAIN *.*
February 24, 20187 yr Miming or not (I think she was ooooop) Tayanna's song is a bop. Melovin's is really good as well so either would be great.
February 24, 20187 yr wow, i agree, both are pretty strong and serious contenders for Top 10 at Eurovision! Ukraine is back at it after the traditional clunker of a 'home turf' entry
February 24, 20187 yr A reverse BQL for Tayanna, 2 jury wins in a row but two televote snubs in a row putting her 2nd twice in a row. But Melovin deserved this and Ukraine could be heading to the top 5!
February 24, 20187 yr poor Tayanna though, bitch can't get a break~ oh well, third time's the charm and interestingly this is the first non-female export since the debut entry (plus Verka counting as female~)
