Eurovision-2023. Ukraine can win again, but a scandal associated with politics and war has already occurred
But these countries have not yet introduced their performers: today there are about a third of all participants. The closest to us is a competitor-Norway, which takes 4th place, is singer Alessandra with the song Queen of Kings (6%). In the fifth place of the Czech Republic (5%) is Vesna with the composition of My Sister's Crown - and a scandal is raging around this song in support of Ukraine. The focus is understood with the nuances of the situation.
Why is Swedes and Finns in such respect, even without stated stars? Their artists often won the competition. And in Sweden in general, the center of European pop) (in the year - in the United Kingdom) and there live many sungraces (songs of songs), who supply not only this competition, but also the stars of Madonna. So far, it is too early to disassemble the participants because we do not know them.
We will pay attention to those Eurovision participants of 2023, who is already known in the TOP-5: Ukraine, Norway, Czech Republic. Recall that the tvorchi from Ternopil positions itself as performers of electronic funk. TVORCHI is a composer and arranger Andriy Gutsulyak, as well as a black vocalist Jeffrey Kenny. "In Liverpool we want to show that Ukrainian music is not only folklore that has shown Go_a and Kalush, but this is progressive electronic music," the guys said.
Together, this couple, dark and white, acts on stage - as a girl's dreams come true. According to the musicians, the song Heart of Steel was written in May 2022 - under the impression of the struggle of "Azov". The idea that Ukrainians have a steel heart hardened by war tests. But the song is not directly about the war, but about people who find the strength to go forward, do not give up and finally win.
"Sometimes you need to look away, sometimes you just have to know when lifting your middle finger up. Life is just a game but I play to win. " Focus advised the group to upgrade this track to the competition so that he sounded on Eurovision in 2023 more powerful. ( So they once did gho_a with the composition "Shum"). And these are not empty advice - the closest competitors of Ukrainian participants are very strong. Norway made their choice - they also held a competition.
Won it atessandra with a song Queen of Kings. Is the truth a atessandra king kings The thing turned out to be cool - thick electronic sound and shock. This dynamics are not enough in the track of the Ukrainian popup. Eamer and the fact that Alessandra is a athletically developed girl, almost Zena - the queen of warriors. And the text is very combat, probably inspired by history Vikings: "She is the queen of kings who overtake the wind. Nothing in the world will hurt her to straighten her wings.
She destroyed her cage and threw her keys. It will become a warrior of the north and the southern seas. "In general, everyone will be shown. The Czech band Vesna presented his song My Sister's Crown (" My Sister's Crown ") on January 29 and a scandal immediately began. Liked the ambiguity of the idea and images. However, on February 7, the Czechs were voted for this composition at its competition, and it almost three times ahead of the closest competitor - PAM Rabbit.
The composition, of course, for the first time in the history of the country, the Czechs will perform the Czech Competition Song in Ukrainian. : "Sister is beautiful, oh you are strong, brave, only, your crown. " And in the verse: "My sister's crown do not shoot her not to shoot her no one has the right to do it, she is beautiful and original she is a queen and she will prove it" . The track also sound Bulgarian, English and Czech. That is ambiguous here. Angry comments went on Ukrainian networks.
"What is the horror you showed! What brother peoples with Russia? You have no right to speak to the euro!" "It is generally arrogance to use elements of Ukrainian culture while the group has a representative of the terrorist country. " And even the idea of banning the group from arriving at the competition came about: "Eurovision is happening in the United Kingdom, but the owners - Ukraine, just ban arrival - and everything.
" Vesna soloists decided to explain the reference of their song in Twitter. According to them, their goal is to support and pay tribute to a close sister, Ukraine. Therefore, they sang Ukrainian, etc. You can fully read their statement here. My opinion. After the premiere, the thing was banned in Russia and Belarus - it is symptomatic. Who is the purple guys in the clip is difficult to say. Maybe the power in general? They choke their metal sticks in a wreath.
A very strong point when a girl who seems to be Ukraine also admires in the mirror, and from where suddenly she rushes at her right, shocking - this is a real reminiscent of the start of the war. In allegorical form. For all ambiguities - in the song a sincere note of Ukraine support, even touching. The song is shame, despite the conditional clown. She wants to cry rather than laugh. This year the Eurovision 2023 competition will be held under the slogan "United in Music".
On the logo - hearts in national colors of Ukraine and Britain. According to the artist Julio Khimedy, stage design was founded on the principles of "unity, holidays and communities". He noted: "The architecture of the scene draws inspiration from wide hugs, participants of the show and guests from all over the world, who open their hands to Ukraine. I focused on cultural aspects and similarity between Ukraine, the United Kingdom and, in particular, Liverpool. art to architecture and poetry.
" 37 countries will take part in the competition. The first and second semifinals will take place on May 9 and 11, and the final - May 13, 2023 - in Liverpool, at the Batles in the homeland. It should be reminded that despite the victory of the Ukrainian band Kalush Orchestra with the song "Stefania" last year, the Eurovision competition of 2023 did not conduct in our country because of the war with the Russian Federation.
