wow, so fascinating how Alina Pash and Kalush are BOTH somehow a copy of Manizha to certain people
Manizha stole from Alina Pash a lil' bit:wow, so fascinating how Alina Pash and Kalush are BOTH somehow a copy of Manizha to certain people
Also, they could have recorded a duo a few years ago, but Manizha "disappeared".

Besides everything else, the lyrics are really lovely. Could any Ukrainian member confirm if I understand it right that „Заспівай мені мамо колискову” means „Mom, sing me a lullaby”? I’m trying to guess the meaning using only my Slavic linguistic intuition. I also suppose that „шляк би тебе трафив” must mean something like „damn it”, am I right?

Politics or "message" aside, I really just can't stand rap music. The chorus is really REALLY lovely but the rest is just horrible to me because of the rap parts. Wish it was rap-free. Love ya Ukraine but I just can't root for you.
Stage looked good, but i didn't like the choreography as much as in the NF, maybe it was just too many wide shots. Still a possible winner though, it's gonna be between this, UK and Spain - and a year ago i wouldn't have expected either of those two to be likely winners

In Germany we call this a "Brett" 
They function like a well-oiled machine, always delivering, stable in vocals and overall performance. They don't need "pity points", they deserved them anyway.

Look. Let them open the show. Do it. Let's just see how political people want to make this. I think the song is a 5 but I have yet to find a bookie in Turin or elsewhere that is saying anything else besides "C'mon, it's Ukraine". I'm honestly mad.
i think if we judge this on song and performance and leave out the cicumstances that surround it: it's (in my opinion) not a winner. it's a good entry and i feel all the support for ukraine but it doesnt give me any winner vibes tbh, sorry. top 3 or top 5: yes - winning: no
While I'm really happy to see them in Turin, that live performance didn't do it for me. At least not nearly as good as having a 47% chance to win in the odds. It could also chalk down to again, like I said with Albania, to the stage this year and the random wide shots.
I also can't help but feel sad that Alina Pash is not taking part, it would've absolutely crushed this year's competition

And she still keeps doing subtle shade on others during the Eurovision week

German participant Malik also said he thinks, Ukraine should win.
Both of my siblings, who didn’t know any of the songs before, had Ukraine as one of their favourites yesterday. Which really surprised me because I didn‘t think it wood be something they like, musicwise. But both said it was very fresh, very cool and they liked it a lot. They aren't invested in ESC as much as me so they probably don’t know there is something like 'political votes' or 'pity votes' which means their enthusiasm for the song is real.

C‘mon even if your siblings are not interested in ESC they have a subconscious mind and know about the situation in the Ukraine.

I really love it when people say "It´s Top 3 or Top 5 material but not a winner".
It´s like saying: I really like the Cyprus. It´s a #16-18 song, but it would only manage to get #15 because of political votes from Greece and Greek diaspora.
C´mon guys, let´s be real!
How often have you thought that a song didn´t "deserve to win" - This year is quite "easy" to blame it on the invasion/the war and it still hasn´t been set in stone that Ukraine is going to win.
They will probably get some sympathy votes but Ukraine wouldn´t be that high in the betting odds if they had submitted "Euro Neuro" to Eurovision or delivered a performance like Ronela did last night.

Well, my husband was forced to listen to the show last night (he didn't watch, but the sound was on lol) and at the end he said he liked the "Stefania" song. So, people should start giving it merits on its own.
It's a stand out entry this year. Period.
