Interestingly, the people here (some lol) thought I'm against Alyosha. I actually like her song and her voice but dont see her as the winner because her song is too serious for Eurovision where the audience, in their majority, prefer fun, like Lordi or verka sedjuchka, and put them higher. So, I came to square one again :D
I understand you. This song is too serious. As for me, I usually don't like such serious songs, because I think songs must give pleasure, and not to remind about some social problems. But maybe it is that case, that exception, when the lyrics is not the main and I can say - I like this song somehow. in spite of all.

It seems to me that Alyosha doesn't speak English. I thought she wrote the lyric to her song. :| strange.

^ she spoke some parts of the interview in English + she interacted with the audience on the party :)
Ani Lorak & Loboda also spoke English like Alyosha but they used other people to translate everything (even though they understood and they even spoke English themselves).



Alyosha is already in Ukraine and she's performed on SF3 show in a duo with one participant at 8PM.

Making of the music video in abandoned city Prip'yat' (city-satellite of Chernobyl).
You can see Chernobyl' station on the background. Ferris wheel, the pool (I've already posted some pics) etc.

^ this is Terra-P dosimeter.
you can see the normal level of radiation on the screen:
eco_items.1166716236.b.jpg

the screen in the video shows 10.66 (later the voice said 12 when the camera changed the view).
Also few days ago she said that they will destroy their clothes when they come back, just in case. Of course such level is not dangerous if you don't stand there for more than few hours.
They started shooting the video on the chemical plant in Kyiv on Monday and they finished shooting it in Chernobyl' on Wednesday.

Re: ??????? - Ukraine 2010 - Alyosha - Sweet People

Actually I don't understand why they shoot the clip in Chernobyl.It's quite dangerous and honestly,not wise decision.
Anyway,I started to like this song,it' a little bit heavy but has a meaning.
Good Luck,Ukraine!

Re: ??????? - Ukraine 2010 - Alyosha - Sweet People

it's not dangerous if you know how to behave there.
Btw, there are people who work on the station still )))
All non-ivolved people are being instructed on the entrance to the polluted zone + they had a special guide.


Ukrainian/Soviet music legend Sofia Rotaru greeted Alyosha.

My brother went with his friend there to take pictures a long time ago. Its ok to be there as long as you dont touch dusty stuff or anything like that. Many ppl actually live there and today its the anniversary.

I like what she said in the interview. "We have such attitude for this like we send them to space :evil: " or "our people like to bring down ESC participants" or "3rd place and you should prepare yourself a rope" ... totally :lol:
Also Verka doesn't mind to represent Ukraine again but not next year.


as for Alyosha. Right before ESC she's gonna give a concert in Ukraine, in Odesa - on May 16th.

Re: ??????? - Ukraine 2010 - Alyosha - Sweet People

While searching for the official video on YouTube (nowhere to be seen for now :lol: ), I stumbled upon this very well-made one:

[youtube:f194rim2]__c3KYjHkW0[/youtube:f194rim2]

Any idea when it's going to be available, AlekS?

^ after May holidays maybe?
May 5 - May 7. Maybe May 11 - May 14.
I know they have already had a photoshoot for the video. So I guess it will be soon.



Good news for those who were afraid if she couldn't deal with culmination live.
I've just watched the Countdown Show and they showed a lil' part of her Zaandam performance. She dealt with culmination perfectly, in the same way like in the studio version.

Re: ??????? - Ukraine 2010 - Alyosha - Sweet People

I think this is the most underrated song in the competition this year. She's bright, energetic and has real attitude. The song is modern (if derivative, but what isn't?) and is catchy and well sung. I cannot understand why it is so low in the betting. Good luck Ukraine!!

Just what I said. The video will be released tomorrow. May 6.
I can already predict that you won't like it.

I've been waiting for this one. Happy in less than a day we'll be able to see it. :mrgreen: On the contrary, I believe I'll fall in love with it. The whole concept couldn't have been more interesting. Even the song is slowly but surley climbing up in my ranking. :D
