Ukraine UKRAINE 2025 - Ziferblat - Bird of Pray

[ESC United Mod Team]

The 30 seconds clip of rehearsal was abysmal indeed, but no shit if you are running around with a laryngitis. They could have expected the backlash at that point though. Good that they seemed to have been staying away a bit already from social media in that moment.
Great work delivered then to get in shape by the semi finals to deliver there.

The concert has already been over, but almost immediately the air raid alert went on, so someone from the team asked people to go to the bomb shelters & subway station.
Some fans decided to stay to take pictures with the band
Danya ran to them and whooped their ass screamed at them. Then he came back to the backstage and a drone flew right above them.
Danya was furious (duh!), he said he was disappointed by people who didn't go to bomb shelters and risked their own & the band's lives.
Meanwhile, the whole subway station was singing "Bird of Pray"

Of course we were the #1.
Ziferblat are great and the song is my cup of tea. And they had considerable coverage from our media since at some point, they looked like (nice) stalkers to Napa. They literally sang three portuguese entries, made a lot of videos and media with our band. It was beautiful to see that friendship. Guess they will come soon to Portugal...
Slava Ukraini!

I still don´t get the success of this song.

I think it's down to diaspora. I didn't think it was a good song and the staging was very messy. If Latvia sent it, it would have flopped.

It seems that the "solidarity vote" is declining though, thirteen countries blanking it in the televote is a sign I guess.

Also it was one of only two "actual rock" entries in the final, the other being Katarsis, then there were two rock ballads...

Hopefully when our borders are open, I'll be able to visit Portugal. It's #1 on my list followed by Netherlands to visit. Love your country

Ukraine always benefitted from televoting because of various factors, including geopolitics. The only entries that got low score from public in the last 15 years were 2012 and 2017. I think right now we are almost at pre-war numbers.

I suspect that there's still a big diaspora vote coming through and the wider 'solidarity' vote has decreased significantly. The entry from Ukraine is almost always good quality anyway.

I really enjoyed the finale performance. I appreciate the artistry in it and it is a very interesting song, but i personally would like this more as an instrumental piece of music.

Seems they are thinking about moving to Portugal.
