I have decided to take a look at each entry this year, in a lead-up to the contest! There are 39 countries participating this year, all aiming to win in Malmo (well, some don't wanna win!) Turkey, Portugal, Slovakia and Bosnia & Herzegovina decided to withdraw this year, which was a shame, so lets hope they'll decide to return for 2014! I have drawn all the countries randomly and today it's Ukraine's turn...Zlata Ognevich - Gravity!
The Ukrainian national final took place on 23rd December, the morning after Albania, and the fabulous Zlata Ognevich won. She is no stranger to the Ukrainian selections - she tried in 2010, 2011 and 2012. All her efforts were great! I do prefer Gravity - her entry last year makes a close second, but everyone else prefers Kukooo. When she won the NF, it was announced that the song would be revamped and that there will be some lyrical changes. The final version was released in March, with a high tech video-clip...
Ukraine will do very well this year. I'm going to predict top five. Zlata is a fantastic vocalist, and she looks so beautiful too... Plus the Ukrainian "gimmick" this year is a giant. He will join Zlata on stage - and he is the tallest man living in America, but he is originally Ukrainian... I hope the performance will be powerful. The performance in Amsterdam was very underwhelming, and quite boring too... I hope nerves won't get to Zlata on the night. I think they did in Amsterdam. Could Ukraine win this? Maybeeee! They will get a decent position for sure...
Nothing comes from pride but pride Mmh… my way is clear Dancing on the edge tonight...
Here it is...
The NF performance, and original version...
In Amsterdam...
The entry she submitted in 2011, which was a big favourite along with Smile and Action...
I loved this too!
She does have awesome vocals, just listen... <3
