Khayat

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

Yagody look rather essential.

 

[TiShh]

Khayat

I hope this one wins if only it will carry on the trend of all the 2020 finalists representing them in all subsequent years.

(Plus I guess the face isn't unsittable)

 

[auretz]

Nine finalists:

• Future Culture – “Waste My Time”
• KHAYAT – “Honor”
• KRYLATA – “Stay True”
• MOLODI – “my sea”
• Ziferblat – “Bird of pray”
• Абіє (Abiye) – “Dim” (Home)
• DK Energetik – “Sil'” (Salt)
• Masha Kondratenko – “No time to cry”
• Vlad Sheryf – “Wind of change”

The other 11 will go to a public vote for the final spot.

An understatement.

Won by this suitably ethnic (but a bit half baked?) banger:



Final is on the 8th!

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

Songs out in the next hour...

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

This didn't show up and the release of the Ukrainian songs has been taken off the Eurovisionworld calendar, so looks like this is off the cards for the immediately foreseeable.

 

[Jacques]

Are these not them?

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

Oh!

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

Дім is HOT

This seems to be the hot favourite on views so far (although if it won a competition to get in, that may be why)

 

[ADONK5]

To be fair I was surprised at the lack of fanfare / response to the releases as well; think they only went on Spotify today.

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

Quite enjoying the FULLY BAKED sexy treat from FIINKA, actually

 

[TiShh]

As Ukraine goes, this isn't their most tantalising selection of songs in recent years, but it's a decent enough showing of Ukraine doing what Ukraine do best. I don't know what the odds are like or what STREETS are saying but a few feel like winners to me:

My favourite:


Dare I say it, this male ballad actually has some zhuzh and would be something different for them.

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

Yes, it certainly doesn't feel quite as much like they're aiming to be super competitive as usual.

 

[auretz]

This has already been on for an hour if anyone fancies an overly long intro to tonight’s main attractions

 

[KNT]

I tuned in just in time to see these lightly-misted twunks being ushered off the stage for some stoners.

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

Are they still holding it in a BUNKER?

 

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

I tuned in just in time to see these lightly-misted twunks being ushered off the stage for some stoners.

Please let me know when they are on again.

 

[IntoTheDark]

Are they still holding it in a BUNKER?

It is not but the venue is kept secret and they recorded a full dress rehearsal yesterday just in case.

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

Do we have a winner?

 

[auretz]

Not yet, despite this being scheduled to end 10 minutes ago

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Khayat won the jury voting.

They went to an ad break and are now revealing the public vote results and adding them any minute (or multitude of minutes) now.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Khayat only 5th in the televote!

It's between Masha, Ziferblast and Molodi now.

 

[Madison]

Ziferblat win.

 

[ADONK5]

Can none of the artists do maths?

 

[Madison]

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

 

[ADONK5]

Why is the audience all chanting the name of the runner up…?

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

Oh dear. Their fantastic run is over.

 

[Madison]

Hmm. It’s… erm… interesting.

 

[ADONK5]

I liked their song for last year… not so much this year

 

[ADONK5]

At least the producers shouldn’t need to bury this in second in the running order

 

[auretz]

Very 70s

 

[KNT]

I loved them on the Inbetweeners.

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

Wow that is awful.

 

[ButterTart]

Ukraine have fallen off a cliff the last few years. This deserves to be their first non qualifier.

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

Ukraine have fallen off a cliff the last few years. This deserves to be their first non qualifier.

This year they have, but they've largely been wonderful in recent years.
