Notice the song and the 1944 EP have been taken off iTunes and Spotify and can now be only purchased on iTunes as part of the Eurovision album. Strange.

Info for those who claim for absence of '1944' and the EP on iTunes and Spotify - both '1944' and the EP will be released under 'Universal' label after they finish a clip on '1944'.

That performance on The Voice Ukraine, so many eargasms. I think I like that version of "1944" more.

I still can't believe Jamala won. And those recent live performances are stellar xheart
I can't wait for the dvd to be released, I need to re-watch everything before doing my review.

I really like this entry. I mean, I liked it already when they choose it, but now I really like the fact something dark won this year.

No surprises this scored great with jury and televote in Bosnia - the atmosphere in the song, ethnic instrument and few more things are something ordinary Bosnians (and juries obviously) probably found culturally close to us. I guess. :D

So it's been 3 weeks and I still can't believe that my favorite Eurovision Song of all time actually won the whole thing xheat

I'm late to discover Jamala, but better late than not at all. I'm unsure if she published all her music on Spotify, but I've been having her on repeat of what there is. It's clear she's a great singer and you can hear she developed some personal recurrent "hooks" (or what you could call it), some of which she use in 1944. Most of her songs are in Russian (or Ukrainian?) and is what I would call classic soul music. It's good and very well performed. It's also really interesting to hear great soul music in Russian. I've been thinking of who she reminds me of and I suddenly got it: Diana Ross, both her 70-80's disco and The Supremes. I think Jamala have the same straight light emotional voice.

I'm curious why did she compete with that awful "Smile" song in 2011NF

To fail, obviously => then trash Mika/Ukrainian broadcaster because of rigged votes => then disappear for a few years => then come back out of the blue with 1944 => then win the whole thing like a Crimean Tatar queen xqueenbitch Everything was part of Her plan.

Just kidding :mrgreen:

She participated with it in the 2014 NF.


You can tell it was unfinished though. And I don't get that getup she had on. Plus she should've sang the whole thing in Ukrainian.

I did like the song though. The new version is amazing.
