Melovin 💫 Dreamer
Slavic English is so overhated already. No other song this season has the lovely, delightful sense of whimsy to me. It’s so uplifting, even if the lyrics are a bit “subpar”.
Yeah, it could’ve been better executed but still, finally someone made some joke about English among non-English speakers. I always wished someone would do something like this and finally
Teresa & Maria 🥇
My Top-12
1.Alyona Alyona and Jerry Heil - "Teresa & Maria"
2.Yagody - "Tsunamia"
3.Anka - "Palala" (Палала)
4.Mélovin - "Dreamer"
5.Skylerr - "Time Is Running Out"
6.Ingret - "Keeper"
7.Yaktak - "Lalala"
8.Nahaba - "Glasss"
9.Ziferblat - "Place I Call Home"
10.Nazva - "Slavic English"
11.Drevo - "Endless Chain"
Yagody=benger. I agree with your comments)
Nahaba deserves to go. Happy to see that you didnt placed it last like the majority of other rankers did
ANKA is my favorite. I just hope she will make her song longer. She should use all 3 minutes
Strongly support your #1 choice! They are just great! Hope they make it to ESC!
Finally someone else in the fanbase who appreciates NAHABA 😅
I love your #1 as well, but my favorites are Teresa & Maria and Palala. I wasn't a big fan of T&M at first but it grows on you so hard
MELOVIN is my winner ❤
Vote for Palala, just to watch her again ❤️
Ngl, I thought Teresa & Maria was just flat with not much for me to take in.
Slavic English, Palala, Glasss, and Tsunamia were my favourites out of the 11. If either one of them were sent, then I'd be satisfied. Looks like we have the same favourites haha!
I personally want to see Ukraine send more songs in Ukrainian because that would add some diversity to what I fear might (or might not) be a generic pop heavy year like 2016 (which is my least favourite editon of the last ten years and ironically has one of my favourite entries in Eurovision so far).
Yagody ❤❤❤❤
I have the exact same top 4. Taste!!
Top 3 :
1)Teresa & Maria Jerry Heil & Alona Alona
2)Melovin - Dreemlove
3)Yagody - Tsunamiya
The song is not about Teresa and Maria, but about women in general. In order to understand the meaning of the song, you need to listen to Alna Alyona's rap, everything is explained there. There are too many demands on a woman, namely: On his shoulders, still small, a girl
carries a vat filled with pain (meaning a great burden) and sees that it is her cross because she is a woman.
Again, not like that, because you're too soft (while Alyona points to herself, implying that she's fat, it's about the body. And a skeleton dressed in clothes, (that's what they say about thin people like Jerry) or naked - (means
not very well dressed, vulgar) or under the crown (we say, dressed as for marriage, which means off topic)
where is your child (when you are 30, and Alyona is 32, you can often hear that it is time for you to give birth, why don't you think about it, they say?) What is your life like? (you are not married, but this is the meaning of life)
But the years fly by! Almost the end. ("well-wishers" count your age). That is, there are many metaphors here, but this song is about the fact that even today there are many demands on women and they are often condemned.
“Let someone want us to break
Let there be a charge in you
Not to the elbow, but to the finger
And let someone hide behind a smile
Hatred and envy
When you let anger into your heart
Instead of goodness and love
But there are saints in heaven
Their feet have seen this land, you know
Your thorny path
Therefore, it is not in vain
And let it be very scary and dark
And sometimes it's not easy
But they will always be with you
Wonderrrful comment, thanks for writing it.
I mean, I know the song is praising women, not just Teresa and Maria. I adore topics like that. You’re right, all the best lyrical content is on alyona ‘s rap. But sadly, this part is just too fast and short (as rap is supposed to be), the whole song is just those repeated lines about Teresa and Maria, one of the worst examples for this topic.
@@escserg6731 ❤️Thank you. Unfortunately, I do not know English to write without mistakes) I wrote in a translator, I hope everything is clear. Thank you for the reaction to the Ukrainian song!
@@nataliyadanylyuk1240 you wrote everything without mistakes, of course, why do you think there were mistakes here?
@@escserg6731 Because when I changed the text in places to check, Google Translate constantly changed my Ukrainian version and a set of words came out, I had to replace these strange changed words with synonyms and help Google in the translation, so that the English version was more understandable 😁
I'm a girl, but I understand that Google doesn't want to accept that, so all my texts are written in the male person, I don't know how to change it. Unfortunately, we were forced to learn russian at school, there were very few hours of English per week, so this is the result)) English is very difficult for me, although I speak Italian very well, I learned it myself when I worked in Italy))
Even though the selection is really strong Alyona Alyona & Jerry Heil is the only choice, this is incredible !
Why? In your opinion
@@escserg6731 I'm a big fan of Alyona Alyona and she was my absolute pick for an Ukrainian artist to go to Eurovision ! And also this is the only song that gives me chill and it catch my attention in one second
They could send quite a few things and do really well. There’s nothing saying Eurovision winner here. But like 3-5 songs could get left hand easily.
@@vincentesc well, it’s also immediately caught my attention... for the wrong reason (using Teresa and Maria as idols here). Other than that, the song is atmospheric but no more for me
Can someone pleeease explain me the thing with alyona alyona & Jerry Heil and what makes it stand out for fans? Except the familiar names, of course
I, as a Ukrainian, can say that before I heard all the songs, I thought that these girls were not worthy of representing my country. but after listening to all the songs, their statement is one of the strongest, this is a mantra. there is one question in my mind, how good will it look on stage and will it be good at all? Melovin was my main favorite, but the song turned out to be a disappointment, a typical Eurovision song that is in no way different from the others. I really liked the group NAHABA, it’s so unusual, it evokes so many emotions! I'm very surprised that in many videos like yours, this group takes last places. I hope that NAHABA or Jerry Hail and Alyona Alyona will win.
They are popular and that's all. Of course, they are both professionals and they do what they do coolly, but in general I don't see them as favorites, although a large fanbase can make them so. Yaktak also often takes high places because of this even though he made a very weak song. Jeri Hale had a strong song last year, not so much this year. You're unlikely to hear anything intelligent, just "I'm a Jerry Hale fan"
The song just has a really fluid vibe, that is very motivating, and the choir sounds really good. It also just has kind of an anthemic quality, at least to my ears, which helps. Jerry was only my third (Behind HoS and Dovbush) last year. I also really like the rap a lot. It’s one of 4 10/10’s season for me. Glasss is also one for me.
I don't know... It's just because of the names, probably. If you go to eurovisionworld and check the odds , this stands at 50% while melovin is at 20 something % so it's clearly about the number of fans more than anything else. I listened the song as they appeared on CZcams and i remember this was the first one so i wrote "it's cute but disappointing". I still think this way. I love Jerry's voice, that's clear. The melody of the song is nice but other than that, it's just bad. Also, you put Virgin Mary and the message of woman empowerment in the same phrase??? Like, really??? Not to mention how cringe is to have a reference to "maria" in the first place.
So, no.
For me, it's GLASSSSSSS and the beautiful ingrid . I like tsunamia too, reminds me a bit of vesma and a little bit of alina pash's song (kinda).
All in all, a good selection. A shame that most of the eliminated song are better than what it's in the final
@@sleppehdaze7739 it’s definitely an anthem, yeah. But kinda lowkey anthem for me. And just why Teresa and Maria as positive examples, just why... I know it’s overthinking but I can’t help it
As a Ukrainian, I think it’s ok to send something ethnic once every 5 years but definitely not every year or every other year
I much prefer something non-stereotypical
Yeah, I got it that Ukrainians think like that at least since the last year, when they chose Tvorchi instead of fan favorite traditional songs. And I agree. But this selection has many songs with folk elements again, so it was very likely that one of them would end in my first place.
So, what are you favorite songs without traditional elements here? Is Teresa & Maria in this category?
@@escserg6731 My personal favourite is Glasss by Nahaba but I’m sure they won’t get enough points to win, unfortunately
Jerry and Alyona are my second place. Their song has some ethnic elements but they’re not dominant. I just like the energy and “moodiness”, the melody is nice and chorus is catchy
But honestly, the selection in general is good and I only dislike two songs so I don’t think I’ll be overly disappointed with the winner
My top-11:
11.Nahaba "Glass"
10.Ziferblat "Place I call home"
9.Nazva "Slavic English"
8.Ingret "Keeper"
7.Anka "Palala"
6.Skylerr "Time is running out"
5.Yagody "Tsunamia"
4.Drevo "Endless chain"
3.YakTak "La la la"
2.Jerry Heil vs Alyona Alyona "Teresa&Maria"
1.Melovin "Dreamer"
I still will have to hear more of the songs to rank them.
But what I can already confirm that it will probably be my 2nd least Favourite Ukrainian entry since 2017.
(But spoiler all entries since Time (included) except for 2020 where a 10/10 for me). Ukraine is such a Powerhouse, but this NF so far did give me an entry I have higher then 8/10
However many Ukrainian entries in the last years needed time to grown on me, so that does not mean to much.
Ukraine loves lalala choruses
This year definitely yes. Did they have it in the past years too?
@@escserg6731 Actually only Yaktak and Nazva lalala. Anka sings Padala- was falling/ Palala- was burning. We have the ending La in the feminine for the past tense. Although in Russian it works the same way.)
YAGODY for me their song is very typical. I understand that ethnic motifs from Ukraine may be very popular in Europe, but many Ukrainians find it less interesting every year, because artists add ethnic motifs where they are not needed and the real uniqueness and interesting melody is lost. As a Eurovision viewer, I want to see my country change every year, so Tsunamiа is not my favorite.
Yeah, it was obvious already last year that Ukrainians don’t wanna send folk every time, they’re much more than just folk. But we’re seeing a lot of folk inspired songs in the selection again and again, they’re just too good at it. So, it was very likely that one of them would end my number one
Dislike
Alyona&Jerry winner!!
