I agree! I think taking out the whole situation, the song is actually really good and I think it deserves a top 5 at least. I listen to this every day since it came out
It's not unlikely, it's very high quality!
Калуш оркестра-- супер.
Guys, the song is very interesting with some cultural background. Kalush is a town on the west of Ukraine. It may be called a depressed region more or less. In the years when singer was a child it was defiantly depressed place. Problems with job and young people living the hometown and going to the city or abroads. As I understand the song it is a tribute for mother and music and hometown. It is about music and mother saving the founder of the band. Because he had a hip hop he avoided drugs and other problems. And he had a hip hop and music growing up, because his mom supported him. And he remember how she used to sing to him as a child in traditional way. So he left his hometown he became a musician but he is grateful to mother and homeland for who he is now.
@@nashsvit1001 very beautiful story! Especially with the stigma on hip hop/rap artists, it's great to see positive representation
@@JarydReacts i am from 🇺🇦 i just read the language. Of course the poetry in it is bigger and may be connected with our today, buy it is a personal story. Thank you for your support and reaction.
Thank you for a view. Im from Ukraine 💙💛 This song about vocalists mom Stefania.
Thank you for watching! ❤️
Thanks for your reaction. I voted for this song in national selection because it's 100% sincere and not just a custom made product for everyone to be pleased with it as Alina's song. I'm really glad that Kalush gets to represent Ukraine for they were the people's choice.
Thank you for watching! I am excited to hear Alina's song as I was Maruv's, but I still adore Kalush's entry!
Браво, земляче!
This song is a joy to listen to from beginning to end.
Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦
A lot of thanks from 🇺🇦
But it's not sopilka, it's tylynka - traditional Ukrainian instrument 🙂
OOPS my bad, thanks for correcting 😁
hi from a Ukrainian Canadian, i adored Alina'a song and the performance at Vidber was amazing but , she withdrew and that is that. Really am into the upbeat message of Kalush Orchestra especially at this dark time in Ukraine's history, remember this is a WAR from russia on Ukraine. The War is totaly unprovoked and Ukraine is defending and not being an aggressor in this conflict. As for the song it is not a flute or a soplika but another traditional Ukrainian wind instrument. GO_A got screwed out of winning by the judging panel , which were probably influenced by moscow money in some form, conspiracy theories abound, and hopefully Kalush orchestra will not suffer the same fate but will introduce the world to the extreme talent and beauty that comes from Ukraine, it's heritage and the Ukrainian language. Slava Ukraini
I am looking forward to hearing Alina's song. Luckily Kalush provide with theirs too. The definition of war is "armed conflict between groups", whether the aggressor or not, it means the same unfortunately. Conflict is just a more sensitive term to use, as advised by the UN. I do agree that Kalush will introduce their extraordinary sound to the world, like Shum did last year, and expose the rich culture of Ukraine
"I will always find my way home even if all roads are destroyed" powerful line.
Btw, do watch Alina's performance. I had 1944 vibes when I first heard it, I think Ukraine could have won with that.
I'm excited to see it! 😍
I don't think it's "destroyed" I believe it's rather "bendy" roads
1944 is a masterpiece. Alinas performance doesn't even come close.
The best song for many reasons is Ukraine Kalush!
Thank you for reaction 🤠!
Thank you for watching!
Good luck Kalush 💛💙
Ukraine my favorite 💙💛✌❤
Українці неймовірні !
Thanks for your reaction! Glory to Ukraine 💙💛
Харе Крішна з України, інструмент називається Тилинка... дякую за вашу чудову реакцію 💙💛🤗
Thank you 🇺🇦
My pleasure 🤗🇬🇧
Thank u so much! Ukraine loves u🇺🇦❤️🕊
And I love you! Hope you're happy and safe ❤️
Love your reactions. So like yourself I love Ukraine so much. I fell in love with Alina Pash. I listen to the song still now. Gave me goosebumps in places I didn't know was possible. So prefer that slightly but I have grown to love Kalush' number too. Would recommend watching Alina's number too for sure 😊 x
Thank you! I am very excited to react to Alina and see what could have been 😊
Thanks from Ukraine 💛💙
Thank you! Sending love from 🇬🇧 ❤️

KALUSH ORCHESTRA - Stefania (English translation with some explanation for context)
[Stafania is the name of the mother of Oleh Psiuk, the rap singer in a pink hat, and this song is dedicated to her]
Stefania, my mom, my mom Stefania,
The fields are starting to bloom yet again,
But her hair is turning more gray,
Mom, sing me your lullaby once again,
because I want to hear your dear/familiar voice
[Rap]
She rocked me as a baby, and she gave me the sense of rhythm,
And you can't take my willpower away because she's planted it in me,
She might be wiser than King Solomon himself,
And from all the crooked paths in my life
I still come back to you
She allows me to rest amid a powerful storm and doesn't disturb my sleep,
She catches for me the bullets of my grandma's disapproval,
She's always known me all too well, so she wasn't fooled,
And when she was very tired, she rocked me with a rhythm of...
Liuli, liuli, liuli, hoy!
[Chorus]
Stefania, my mom, my mom Stefania,
The fields are starting to bloom yet again,
But her hair is turning more gray,
Mom, sing me your lullaby once again,
because I want to hear your dear/familiar voice
[Rap]
But I'm not a baby any more, no more, mom, no more!
That's enough!
However old I am, she still treats me as a child that requires care and resources,
I'm not a child, but she still lives in constant stress,
I was wasting my life away...
And may I be damned for that!
You're still young, mom, you're still in your prime,
And if I won't appreciate your care and support now that I'm famous,
All of you, get me in a corner and accuse me of it!
I will burn to ashes from own love...
Liuli, liuli, liuli, hoy!
[Kalush have certain lines in their lyrics that are difficult to decipher even as a native Ukrainian speaker, so the last 2 lines here are my personal interpretation]
[Chorus]
Stefania, my mom, my mom Stefania,
The fields are starting to bloom yet again,
But her hair is turning more gray,
Mom, sing me your lullaby once again,
because I want to hear your dear/familiar voice
this is another strong entry, one of the strongest choruses in the whole contest; love the mix of rap with the singing and more traditional Ukrainian elements - I reckon this'll be in the final, for sure, this feels almost destined to win the televote, so it's gonna really come down to how the juries will respond (especially because they don't have rap entries that high, if past memory serves me)
honestly I loved Alina Pash's entry when I first saw it; there was an undeniable power, pure emotion and confidence behind her performance and the song and I thought to myself, 'this could win the whole thing', I was disappointed when things turned out the way they did
The average placement is 15th I believe. Last year the juries placed Italy, Russia, Finland and San Marino at 4th, 8th, 11th and 18th, respectively. Italy 2019 was also 4th, and Turkey won in 2003 with a rap bridge, so it really does depend. This could be a jury pleaser as it's high quality.
I'm very excited to see what could have been with Alina!
The instrument is Telinka
🇺🇦✨🎶💙💛🎶✨🇺🇦
Let me tell you the history. Song won the televote with almost twice the votes than the winning song by Alina Pash so it is the rightful representative (although songs like this never do well on Eurovision). At the time, Alina's song (which is much better than this one song-wise) was predicting 8/1 in the odds, however Alina visited Crimea in 2015 (which is illegal in Ukraine) and after that some wild accusation of televoting setup followed, and singer decided to drop from the competition saying that a member of her team went to Crimea and she didn't know (but there was some evidence she flew over Moscow airport in the past), but that she doesn't want to be muddled by a scandal. Alina Pash has Russian origin as many Ukrainians do, thus this was a huge scandal in Ukraine.
After this, Kalush took Alina's place, shortly before the war. No one liked their song in Europe. It's loud, confusing, random screaming mixed with rap, having confusing lyrics about singer's mother, and by any standards you adopt, it really isn't a winning song. Odds before the war were 26/1. Then they started climbing closer as war approached at 19/1, and when war broke out it went to 2/1 and now they are absolute favorite.
They will win, but mainly due to a sympathy vote. And this is sad, not because they don't deserve it. Ukrainians do deserve a win after all devastation. But this victory would again be masked by EU and UK hypocrisy. It will be a pathetic gift to Ukraine after funding the Russian war by buying gas and oil. All the talks and sanctions and nonsense happening in Europe never stopped the money flow from oil and gas to Russia. This war and everything that happened to Ukraine in the past 3 months was fully funded by EU. That's the real history and what's going on. But I am sure BBC will spin this as a win, and Ukraine will take it as a win, even though more and more feel completely betrayed by the West and fully see through its hypocrisy.
They did receive more televotes but when combined with the jury votes, they lost fairly. I will admit, I don't understand the ins and outs of entering Crimea but if that's their law then that's what they follow, so I understood why Kalush are now representing.
In all honesty, the song is great, it has all the qualities I like in an entry, it would have qualified regardless of the current situation and most likely would place high. But I don't think the song is better than Shum, and I wouldn't call it the winner this year. I would hope it gets votes because people love the song, and not because of sympathy. That latter is probably more likely, unfortunately, but I do agree that Ukraine deserve happiness and unity right now.
You should really do a reaction video for the official video of this song. I actually dare you if you are brave enough to face the emotional part of it
💙💛🙌🙌🙌
You are teasing us with that shirt opening. Hahaha
Had to keep the video PG 🤣
💙💛
Stay with Ukraine!
💛💙🇺🇦👍
Вітаю, ми з України !
🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
You need to know a history of this song.
I've got time for some history 📝
OMG! At first I was thought that is Sam Smith
🤣🤣🤣
An official video released some days ago. Please, check it out. You will be shocked how deep this song is
Thank you for letting me know, I will do! 😊
@@JarydReacts I am waiting for it right now !!! :)))
@@JarydReacts By the way, hi from Kiev!!! Thanks for your support!! We appreciate it much !!! ♥
@@bunt12 hi from UK! 🇬🇧 Sending lots of love, hope you're safe and happy! 😊
@@JarydReacts 4 air alerts during this day because of russian missiles . You know, too hard times to be happy ) but thanks to our warriors who risk their lives, we live and remain strong until the day of our victory :) I like your videos so much, they make me smile. Keep going :)
💛💙💛💙💛💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦💋🤗
The camera is more to the right ;-)
Actually it's to the left, it's in selfie mode as I'm at a desk 😌
If it wasnt for the rap this would have been my number two. France is my number one. And why this ugly hat! But will it have high points because its good or will it have sympathy points because of the situation in Ukraine.
Leave the hat out of this! 👒😆 I really appreciate the rap verse, it contrasts the chorus but doesn't detract. As for the votes, no way to know for sure
@@JarydReacts i agree that the rap make a good contrast and gives and edge, but still dont like that part. Maybe the song would have been boring without the rap, but if you arent in rap, you arent. But Ukraina is still one of the three more interesting song in this (in my eyes) boring heat.
@@krooks6367 it's not for everyone! Maybe it'll win you over someday 😁 it definitely adds some flavour to the semi finals
I always bet with my brother. In our case, its not about the money. Just the feeling to bet each other. Up to now i dont know what he choise. But we seldom have same tast. So if my french group wins over your ukrain group i will send you a present from sweden, I will thou personally put some money on Ukraina, Sweden and France. Sweden because it has a chance and France because i think they underestimate it and i love ut and Ukraine because its good. Is is usual that one one youtube sits and gives reactions on song from eurovision. Because it was the first time i have seen people do it. I would be a bad person to that - it takes time for me to react on music. Has to listen to it several times before i decides about. But thanks to watching your video i have started to listens to what other says about music and its fun
Ay dont vote ucrine because ay dont like the song, ay dont vote ucrine only because they ave problems, eurovision is abaut songs, not european comunity, not abaut politics, this is abaut music, wen People envolve politics and eurovision. Is not good.
Vote for the song if you like it, not because of outside events
