Russia RUSSIA 2021 - Manizha - Russian Woman

[escYOUnited]

Поле, поле, поле, я ж мала
Поле, поле, поле, так мала
Как пройти по полю из огня
Как пройти по полю, если ты одна?
А-а-а, ждать мне чьей-то ручечки, ручки?
А-а-а, а кто подаст мне ручку, девочки?
Испокон веков с ночи до утра
С ночи-ночи ждём мы корабля, ждём мы корабля
Очень-очень ждём мы корабля, ждём мы корабля, ждём мы корабля
А чё ждать? Встала и пошла

Хай-ха, хай-ха
Эй, эй
Every Russian woman needs to know (Ха, ха)
You're strong enough to bounce against the wall (Эй, эй)
Every Russian woman needs to know (Ха, ха)
You're strong enough to bounce against the wall (Эй, эй)

Шо там хорохорится? Ой, красавица
Ждешь своего юнца, ой, красавица
Тебе уж за 30, алло, где же дети?
Ты в целом красива, но вот похудеть бы
Надень подлиннее, надень покороче
Росла без отца, делай то, что не хочет
Ты точно не хочешь? (Не хочешь, а надо)
Послушайте, правда, мы с вами не стадо
Вороны, прошу отвалите-е-е

Теперь зарубите себе на носу
Я вас не виню, а себя я чертовски люблю
Борются, борются
Все по кругу борются, да не молятся
Сын без отца, ночь без отца
Но сломанной family не сломать меня, а

Хай-ха, хай-ха
Эй, эй
Every Russian woman needs to know (Ха, ха)
You're strong enough to bounce against the wall (Эй, эй)
Every Russian woman needs to know (Ха, ха)
You're strong enough (Эй, эй)

Эй, русский женщин, давай, голосуй за меня
Да, you're strong enough, you're strong enough
Don't be afraid (Don't be afraid)
Don't be afraid (Don't be afraid)
Don't be afraid (Don't be afraid)
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid

Теперь зарубите себе на носу
Я вас не виню, а себя я чертовски люблю
Борются, борются
Все по кругу борются, да не молятся
Сын без отца, ночь без отца
Но сломанной family не сломать меня, а
Хай-ха, хай-ха
Эй, эй
О-о-о​

Comparing this to "Party for everybody"....I just can't this place any more...

 

[Sammy]

Funny coincidence that this title wins on the international woman's day.

 

[Ana Raquel]

i would never have expected to see manizha on esc so i'm hyping


a , would be super satisfied with tomato as well.

 

[SwedishFailurez]

What ESC have you been watching? The juries hate on every entry that isn't standardized MF Pop or conventional ballads... ethnic entries are almost always downgraded by them because God forbid ESC has some musical diversity and countries actually send something representing them...

With spectacular technical capabilities (also a big enough wallet), even ethnic and unusual entries can achieve a top 3 placement or even potentially win the jury vote.

1997 (even with the televotes excluded)
2012
2015
2016
2017

There more examples of this. You have right about the juries' leaning towards the most mainstream entries which is because they have a narrow-minded view of what a billboard hit is. Not that the televotes are perfect either, but if the juries consisted of actual music critics, established live artists, and people with no political agendas... Entries like 2018 would never fare that well with the juries like what they almost always do.

 

[Pål Nordahl]

I hated this until 1min 40 seconds, then was completely surprised by that beautiful soviet chant ! It's a shame it only happens twice because the rest is irritating noise to me. The song could have been great but the end result seems a little disjointed.

No idea how to rate this yet. Probably or .

 

[Teaisloveable]

I feel like I just listened to 4 songs in 1? Hahaha

 

[Sammy]

I quickly ran the lyrics through google translate. This is possibly one of the biggest gaps between lyrics and staging. WOW

 

[Charly]

Best song won however, not the best song Russia sent nor a winning song.

 

[Sammy]

Believe me, I can't, just believe me dear Sammy that I don't have a strenght to explain that here ...I will just say/hint to you to search for songwriing teams of this and SM entries..
But in the end I understand it, I'm on ESC forum, I don't compalin, I just don't have a strength to ellaborate..

Ok, I take back what I said. I have to look at this entry much closer as it seems...

 

[Mrm]

This entry sounds so Georgian ESC to me..

 

[Preuss]

Uhm what did I just hear and watch?

I can see it do pretty well in televote though, but the juries will ruin its chances

 

[opinionsigotem]

This feels like something I would stan super hard in Vidbir so I have to be consistent and say I LOVE Russia this year.

 

[pjelacki]

this slaps

 

[wtf]

This feels like something I would stan super hard in Vidbir so I have to be consistent and say I LOVE Russia this year.

It's quite cool to see Shum and this competing in the same year, in the same semi.

 

[Flamenkax]

After a few listens, i decided that i like this song. Still don't know where to place it in my ranking but i like the fact that's a "4-songs-in-one", makes it unpredictable, surprising, yet it manages to keep attention during 3 minutes. And btw i REALLY dig this gypsy drop.

I do think it will struggle a bit to qualify, it will sound a bit perturbating to casual audiences, plus as this NF has been done in a rush, seems then that this will have a bit less time to prepare... but hey this is Russia, you never know.

Imma putting a for now.

 

[Ezio]

OK, this smells like an NQ

Another reason to stan Manizha

I'm woman, but not only this defines me as a person. I'm Tajik and was born in Muslim environment, but not only this defines me as a person. I eat meat, swear and make mistakes, but not only this defines me as a person. I'm for a world, where sexual orientation, gender, religion and race are not labels that define us. We are more than this.

I've taken part in this project because I want my LGBT friends to be able to hold each others hands without incommodity and fear.

We are different, but still equal. We are stronger as society when we are #opened. Because then we see people, not labels.

 

[crashworld]

Honestly, Russia clearly has entered the Baila-chicki-chicki-Dustin-the-turkey-stage. we don‘t win anyway so why bother. we give you random crap and still will be in the final.

I wouldn't describe Manizha's entry as that. It just feel like this is a last minute job, throwing different sounds and plastered with a message and then done. I can't even call this a song when everything is so incoherent.

While I applaud her support for the LGBTQ community, but I am not going to support her entry just because of that. The quality of the song should come first.

I have already taken back this comment after the remarks of @Mrm
Classic case of wrong first time impression. Since he quoted it, I didn't delete it though.

Musically, this can't still convince me. But I like the attitude and the lyrics so far.

I forget to add on is that I do agree with you the randomness of the song (just like the randomness of the Russian NF). And this randomness of sounds in the so-called song do not sit well with me.
