Ukraine would like to substitute, to be drawn into another provocation, but she withstood it “pop culture” test.
Passions subsided, associated with national selection on “Eurovision” in Ukraine, it is time to calmly and without much emotion to talk about what really happened and what lessons we all should have learned.
On the one hand, many Ukrainians every year I look forward to the results of the national selection, and the Eurovision song contest, cheering for their representatives, worry, vote, discuss performances. It is particularly interesting to our citizens to compare their artists from the Russian: it was before the war, and now especially. Emotions gushed over the edge, when Jamal won first place, ahead of absolutely everyone, including the representative of the Russian Federation Sergey Lazarev.
But on the other hand, following the years after the magnificent victory did not promise anything pleasant to Ukraine. And if in 2017, the home of “Eurovision” our country has issued not the most powerful representative, that the jury in 2018 openly forced to give up on the competition and to doubt the objectivity of these “experts”. How else to perceive it, if the audience put Malvino place among the seven leaders, and judges “drown” him, putting on the last position, although the performance of our representative were not the worst among the contestants-finalists.
And this year, Ukraine simply decided to substitute. Yet it is not clear exactly who the enemies of Russia or the “fifth column” in Ukraine, but the finals saw two daughters Crimean officials, the traitors, as well as the “dove of peace” Maruv, staged on stage sexy dance in “dogs-style.”
Many began to blame a leading national selection unwanted “politicization”. But on the other hand, if they asked contestants the question of “pure music”, the same Anna Maria was able to take first place, and then started talking all sorts of spongy stuff, and the impact on Ukraine would be much worse than just a rejection of the song contest.
Equally shocking would be the trip Maruv. Moreover, “dances from the brothel” is not the best, that should show the world a bleeding Ukraine. Certainly not “come to me”, “take me” and stuff like that. Not to mention the fact that if Ukraine will take the stage girls rubbing about the judges and demonstrating their fifth point, and the whole country will associate it with sex workers. And you can imagine how it was obstacolele the Russian propaganda machine. Special line here peace-loving rhetoric of the singer – is highly inappropriate against the background of retention by Russia of Ukrainian seafarers and the new shelling in the Donbass. And also the Russian origin of the song Maruv and her tour in Russia.
In addition, the network appeared the version that the singer is connected with the Russian special services and won the selection fair.
As correctly noted Ukrainian writer Les ‘ Poderevyansky, if you imagine that this “hungry for peace with Russia”, the singer will go on “Eurovision”, and there it will approach the microphone Skobeeva, and that is something to blurt out in response, then why does Ukraine need this?
It is clear that many people who engage in “pop” – the subjects frivolous, totally indifferent to their country. For some, the first place money policy, they are not interested, for others, Putin’s Russia – the “brotherly” country, as if the Russian army invaded Crimea and staged a massacre in the East of Ukraine.
By the way, about the contract with “onerous” terms, which declined from Maruv. The same Andrey Danilko in a recent interview stressed that the terms of the current contract were identical to the documents that he signed in 2007, in the role of Verka Serduchka. And nothing prevented the comedian to represent their country at the contest. So this “excuse” kind of undignified.
Looking at what is happening, sigh of relief that our country decided to make a “knight’s move” and to opt out of the trip. With winners such as these it is better not to represent the country. Now we need to learn from the incident and to the next national selection to prepare more thoroughly.
For a country at war, which a significant portion is under the control of foreign armed groups, it is important not to puncture in the international arena. And to send such representatives, which presentations will be made to popularize Ukrainian national culture and not God knows what. We have enough musicians who are not afraid to call the Crimea and the Donbass to Ukrainian and condemn the actions of the authorities of the neighbouring state. We have enough performers who are looking for captured Ukrainians, and even not thinking about earnings in Russia. And which will offer a wider audience is Ukrainian song, not the cheap calls courtesan to have sexual intercourse.
However, even in this scandalous selection showed that loyal to the Kremlin singers do not have the chance to represent the country. Earning a lot of money in the country-the aggressor will not represent Ukraine. Song of dubious origin, recorded by the Russian label, will not play under the Ukrainian flag. “Eurovision-2019” have shown how strong is our country. And any attempt of Moscow to Ukraine to slip “Trojan horse” will end in catastrophic failure.
Recall that blogger offered to send on “Eurovision” someone from Donetsk or Luhansk to Russia “numb” before the competition.
As previously reported, the singer Olga Polyakova shocked the public statement on “the Eurovision”.
