[@calliacovers]

He’s got a really unique personality and is very smart. I haven’t seen a personality like his before.

[@maritvdhoek]

ScratchThat2009 totally true

[@shiningstar4ychannel40]

ScratchThat2009 Like what?

[@rat9822]

When i first saw him i thought he was that rebel, emo guy but he is actually really sweet and pure

[@lararepe1968]

*not a hate* i totally agree with he being sweet and pure, even tho that almost every emo person is just as well sweet xD

[@karla8350]

I never actually noticed him nor did really cared for him or who he is but he actually seems like a such a nice guy

[@pokekev3130]

karlah He is so hot isnt he😂😂

[@Lemberg911]

He speaks russian, ukrainian.. he understand english but thats hard to talking for him.
But main thing that he is nice,open guy , with huge singing talent and he make it very well..

[@ΕλένηΜπαλτζή]

Y. H. Amen

[@veronikaesc321]

What a sweet guy. Like a kitty

[@edita_gla]

i think his english is good, but he wants to understand everything that is said to him and give sincere answers like that, so that's why he needs a translator. 😊 anyway, he's so unique and smart!!! 💞

[@edita_gla]

Tennis & Music come on, everyone makes mistakes, and this could have been the nerves too! at least he's practicing and speaking it

[@АнастасіяОвчарик-я9й]

Edita Glambaitė to be honest, i aslo sometimes say kitchen instead of chicken, really😂

[@edita_gla]

Анастасія Овчарик even native english speakers can make mistakes like that, it's not a big deal 😉

[@josine9442]

Анастасія Овчарик it always happens to me when I talk really fast 😅😂

[@josine9442]

Tennis & Music well we can already hear some of his pronunciation tonight ☺

[@MultiSuperllama]

THE WAY HE SMELT MELOVIN AND THE POOR GUY HAS NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON
HAAAAA.
My winner totally

[@nadinwolf5977]

well, it's obvious he understand English good enough but afraid to speak... he needs more practice and it will be just fine 😎
William, dear, we need more interviews with cutie Melovin.....cos you know, we love him as much you do ❤😍😍😍

[@josine9442]

I think he is a bit shy to speak English but it was a great interview anyway

[@xan8066]

He is so talented, charismatic and sweet. And for more, his smile is beautiful.
Love the song, the show, his personality and his message: BRAVE ❤️ LOVE ❤️ FREEDOM

[@maritvdhoek]

Although his English isn't very good he seems such a smart guy. He's also a very sympathetic boy and very hardworking. Hope he'll win❤🇺🇦

[@ЛюдмилаСеменова-л3е]

Thank you!

[@huzkaduzka]

I love how William always reacts and acts very interested when he gets the answers in Ukranian and the reacts again when he gets the translation! xD

[@TheVolterra13]

Actually Melovin speaks Russian. He's from the east part of Ukraine where Russian language in much more common.

[@jonyu3597]

TheVolterra13 odesa is not in the east, google a map of ukraine kid

[@misterx7058]

TheVolterra13 You are stupid sucka. Melovin from south part of Ukraine. And he speak in ukrainian very well.

[@jonyu3597]

Foxreyna and armenian and bulgarian and albanian and turkish and yiddish and moldovan:) its a very multinational city, capital of a multinational region,on the edge of Bessarabia. If you like Melovin i think it will be fun for you to learn more about his homeland:)

[@somuchsecrets2375]

ibims420 Melovin is speaking Russian and he is of Russian Origin , Odessa (his town) was builded by Russians and later on during the Soviet union it got annexed from Russia to ukraine ( as every other town in modern ukraine )

[@evheniia_shevchenko]

Melovin, Ukraine with you! We wish you good luck tonight! We believe in you and your message!!! BRAVE. LOVE. FREEDOM!!!

[@lilithpetrosyan9699]

William can I just say you're such a great interviewer, artists always feel comfortable with you, and seem very engaged despite the language barrier.
When it comes to Mélovin, I think he's one of the best acts this year and doesn't have to win the Eurovision to be a success, he already is.
Best of luck to him. ❤

[@mxnhos]

HE'S SO ADORABLE
I love him so much and I'm really excited for his performance at esc, I wish him all the best

[@k-time5953]

ChiaraESC hi

[@katiagerz253]

(Thank you wiwi!)

[@akulina5617]

William you just super.This is the best interview with Melovin.

[@pindanootje612]

HE IS SO CUTE😜

[@pindanootje612]

teamkris uk hi😂😂😂

[@davidwho1011]

Mélovin asks us what he means to us; that’s very admirable. To me he represents bravery- he is what I was not allowed to be in my early life. I hope his career goes on for a long time.

[@BDog54]

David Who We all grow in time, good luck to you!

[@maroji9665]

I really think he's a special person, so honest and he really tries to overcome his fears and everything to show us what he loves

[@Kathryn_Saluya]

Marina Rodríguez Jiménez yes he is very kind man)

[@MarysiaPytlak]

[@leonid.polishchuk]

Настя Литвин хорош как всегда) произношение лучше!

[@KrystinaSilva]

MÉLOVIN 😍😍😍

[@darynahh]

I think it's more important to understand everything clearly and have an oppportunity to express your thoughts in a right way than to try to speak a language which you are not fluent in and to lose some ideas or misunderstand William) Good luck to Melovin, Ukraine is with you!
P.S.: his face when he heard William pronouncing his name like MelOvin is priceless!

[@ΕλένηΜπαλτζή]

Дарина Грищенко I love this comment oh lord

Mélovin, don´t be afraid of speaking in english, we understand your "situation" :D

[@nettle8605]

Marina Rodríguez Jiménez It's not funny speaking a language which you don't fully understand in which you can't fully express yourself. I've been there so many times, and I hate it.

[@maroji9665]

Nettle i know, he doesn't have to do it when everybody's watching

[@nadinwolf5977]

William, i agree with others, your interview with Melovin is the best among others, please do more, and can we have Alekseev and Melovin together on screen in Lisbon ? at least for few minutes...would be nice:))....they are country fellows,they live in the same city, but is int weird we never saw them talking or taking pics together? hope they don't hate each other ...lol

[@olenazymovets1228]

Nadin Wolf, they don't hate each other for sure, they just didn’t know each other personally before Eurovision. In yesterday's interview Melovin said that he had got acquainted with Alekseev in Amsterdam in a lift while they were going up to dinner =) And Mel said that he was a very pleasant person.

[@susanneleene24]

So humble, such a sweetheart :)

[@melikesarac4692]

everytime someone gives him a fanart, he says that he've seen it. he gives attention to his fans, always.

[@SceneGirlPanda]

He’s so lovely 💓💓

[@kseniamysiura3973]

[@ЛюдмилаСеменова-л3е]

Вчерашнее выступление было очень круто..я рада за Меловина!

[@benjeffery7829]

Hes freaking adorable

[@matchumendoza]

I REALLY HAD A CRUSH ON HIM!!!! OMG WHAT A HOTTIE

[@xaxolka5520]

he is perfect i love him so muchhh

[@buzzy2449]

Меловин: "Я бы не сказал, что финальная версия будет чем-то кардинально отличаться".
Переводчик: "IT'S GONNA BE TOTALLY DIFFERENT".😕
Удачи, Меловин!!! Топ-5, как минимум! ЖГИ!))

[@julybarka7717]

Юлия Матыченко переводчик странный((

[@Jena_056-f6v]

Та ладно вам, он выучит английский как только сможет, это небольшая проблема! Гораздо важнее сейчас ему готовиться к выступлению, а нам его поддерживать ❤

[@jannadark8100]

типа никогда не выучит? :) раз в школе не смог, и будучи певцом (человеком, мечтающим покорять мировые хит-парады) не смог, то, думаешь, ему это под силу? сомневаюсь. английский можно до простого разговорного уровня за 3 месяца уроков подтянуть с нуля. а этому танцору что мешало?

[@cooperwire5634]

лень наверно

[@VeryNice-c6p]

Janna Dark что за бред?))) За 3 месяца с нуля подтянуть до разговорного? В детстве головой обо что-то ударилась?!
Поищи, блять, в интернете как минимум сколько времени нужно для изучения английского по уровням. Не позорься!
На любых курсах несколько месяцев проходят только один уровень!!! Если с нуля, то у тебя будет ELEMENTARY. С этим уровнем тебе общаться не светит! Так что прежде чем нести такую чушь, ознакомься с какой-то информацией.
Как же бесят такие тупорылые как ты, которые некомпетентны в каком-то вопросе и при этом ещё пиздят сидят что-то!!!

[@АллаКлименко-м2в]

Данилко тоже не знает английского. И что? Европа его не приняла?

[@petrosyanl]

He should smile more often, suits him.

[@Kathryn_Saluya]

petrosyanl oh yeah totally true)

[@tobiz1922]

Because of the fanatic fangirls.

[@Kathryn_Saluya]

Tobiz its not true at all because he has so many adult fans and boys too )))
