Ukraine UKRAINE 2016 - Jamala - 1944

[Yoozek]

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.

That's when I became a fan of hers. The song reminded me of one soundtrack from HoM&M5 and I loved it. Being a light bulb kinda spoiled her chances that year but it doesn't change the fact that I'd like to see her one day on Eurovision stage with that kind of folk!

I actually quite liked the Ukrainian entry this year and i even voted for it 5 times. I gave 10 votes to Poland and 5 to Lithuania also. Something about this song really appealed to me, I dont know what it is, but something did.

every year the esc's songs are very profetic, before Orlando now Istanbul, remember the Jamala'song words?

Jamala - 1944, Lyrics


When strangers are coming...
They come to your house
They kill you all
And say
We’re not guilty
Not guilty

She visited the movie festival in Odesa. Grgs

As a member of the organizing committee she's probably going to select the host city too.

[MENTION=4377]AlekS[/MENTION] She's stunning I want an outfit like that when she performs in the grand final next year

 

[WhoKnows]

IMO, that dress is a bad fit on her. She looks to be drowning in it.

Jamala live at Allsång på Skansen TV-show in Stockholm tonight

 

[GianlucaTomoe]

Amazing as always.

 

[DanielLuis]

She is gorgeous

 

[LalehForWD]

Pity she didn't sing more songs, "I'm like a bird" for example.

The video is stunning! Jamala, you amased us once again!!!

 

[GermanBango]

The video is just wow ... I love it. x12s
I still get goosebumps every time I hear "1944" ... even after all these months. What an incredible piece of art

 

[WhoKnows]

Beautiful video. Dramatic but understated. I like that they didn't go for something banal and literal, but rather something more abstract.

 

[AlekS]

Jamala & Lara Fabian said they would like to record a duo with each other, yesterday.
Lara also doesn't mind it to be ESC'17 interval act... errrm, not sure about that. Even just a song would be gr8))

 

[Eurovisionified]

I don't like the video, it looks like a TV commercial. Picture is too "flat", it looks very video. And the animations are not the greatest I've ever seen either, and this is a song that demands perfection. It doesn't matter anyway, the song is still one of the finest pearls to hit the Eurovision Stage, which is an impressive feat in itself, since most of the music these days are crap.

The NF'16 became the best music TV show of 2016 on the Teletriumph (our local Emmy Awards).

I wouldn't say I liked it as TV-show. X-Factor was much better by sound and picture.

 

[AlekS]

^ X Factor was in a different category (Entertaining Format Show) where they lost to the Voice.
I really liked the NF as a TV show and I've just been re-watching it recently. Sound & picture had the same quality. They had the same techies/equipment/companies involved/location/bloody long commercials I don't wanna watch X Factor again though (even despite they had more shows vs. 3 NF's ).
