Every famous name mentioned in the rapping part brings its own deep message. "One for all and all for one" by Dumas is a very timely call for national unity in face of the threat of ruSSia's full-scale war, as well as the need for Picasso's peace dove. The reference to Dante, who wrote "Divine comedy" about the afterlife soul's journey but nowadays could be writing "Divine tragedy", refers to the current imminent danger of sending humankind to the afterlife. Shakespeare is the master of drama bringing up existential questions including the most famous one "To be or not to be". And Alina's call is "To Be!" and to write our OWN history, remembering ancestors, history, and culture, and to leave our own legacy after ourselves, beautiful like fairytales by Grimm brothers. Very clever lines which should speak to all of Europe. Maybe, too intelligent for less educated people. And the sounds at the beginning and the end are bird calls, uniting with Nature. And I love the beautiful message in the visuals of her eyes: it zooms in and in the depth of each eye another eye keeps appearing like eyes of generations of ancestors. We are onions with layers created by ancestors, direct of spiritual, coming from different cultures.
I would also like to add that the very name of the song echoes the classics of Ukrainian literature - the novel "shadows of the forgotten ancestors". And as for the "bird singing" at the beginning and end of the song - this is a reference to the Hutsul melodies, which are used to call on the spirits of ancestors to help in a difficult moment. It seems to me that the strength of this song is in its relevance for the Ukrainian people at this moment.

It was a very good national final. I agree with your comments. Roxolana 's performance lacked colours. But I love her song. Alina and Kalush Orchestra were the best when it comes to preformance. They both deserved to win. Ukraine will again go to the final without any problems. I love your new haircut! 🙂🙂
I think... Alina might be my #1 in Eurovision so far. For now. I got real chills watching this performance, and I don't get those often. Just listening to the studio track, I thought it was decent, but seeing it live and seeing the emotion in her performance just elevated the song so much for me. I agree that I wasn't a huge fan of the spoken word section at first, but watching her performance of it, I can appreciate it a bit more because of what they mean to her. And of course the staging was impeccable. And to think I had no strong feelings on any of these songs going into Vidbir 🤣
Alina's song is a Masterpiece! Not often I feel emotional because of ESC songs, but now I did. Not only because of the country's current circumstances, but has also an universal message. Be proud of yourself and your heritage. My 12 points go with peace and Love to Ukrain this year.

I loved your words, you sound real. Alina was great, right? I do respect the others, Wellboy was amazing, Kalush was insane... but I also believe she was the perfect choice. About the good staging, I believe they will change the concept... for a better one! Go Ukraine!
Ukraine voted for Kalush overwhelmingly. But votes were shuffled and not disclosed to the public. She claims to have won with just 1 point over Kalush without anyone knowing how many votes she got from the public (which could have easily placed her 3rd or 4th). This whole thing with her winning is staged. Ukrainians are mad!
Literally 4 songs from Ukraine could easily get to the Grand Final in May. My winner was Kalush Orchestra but Alina is also amazing. BTW the last song for Polish national selection was released yeasterday evening :)

Soo after the live performances.. Kalush was my clear number one.. they just brought the energy to the stage! Roxolana right after them unfortunately just fell flat.. her voice seemed also very thin? so she ended on my fifth place.. Alina became my second, the song is really beautiful, but I still don’t like the talking/„rap“ part.. but okay.. wellboy on my third and Michael on fourth.. anyway Alina is a great pick even if I liked Kalush more! Well done Ukraine!
Hahaha some harsh criticism here....I kind of love it Gijo :-) Yeah Roxolana was a disappointment for me :-) I think Kalush it Alina would have/will do give Ukraine another top 10 finish :-)

However Alina's song "Тіні забутих предків" (Shadows of forgotten ancestors) in Ukrainian and English languages is pretty.

It is unfortunate that Vidbir ended with quite a drama. A lot of Ukranians and Kalush fans are all over the internet trying to DQ Alina because of some controversy that happened in the past and the voting result.
"because of some controversy"????? She visited occupied Crimea from the russian side (which is forbidden by the law, because it's justification of occupation). And she never apologized for this. Also she was collaborating a lot with russian artists. Which is controversial considering huge russian army which is threating Ukrainian border right now.
@@lerapin She is ACCUSED of visiting occupied Crimea from the russian side. If you want to be a European remember that people are innocent till proven guilty. Also, visiting occupied Crimea from the Russian Side is a non-criminal offense punishable by a small fine. You make it sound like high treason. Her having collaborations with Russians YEARS ago aren't even crimes. People like you are insane, we have a very strong pro-Ukrainian message in a very good song but you want to destroy it because you SUSPECT that the singer isn't sincere enough. This isn't patriotism ationalism because patriotism is about the interests of the country and nationalism is about the interests of the nation. Your hysteria goes against both.

I would like to say a couple words about the possible reason why she's so emotional in the rapping part, regarding the words she's saying. And it connects with what's happening now between Russia and Ukraine. The Russians believe that they are one people with the Ukrainians. And the fact that Ukraine has chosen democracy and cooperation with the Western world is considered a betrayal. Ukrainians shouldn't be friends with "Anglo-Saxons" (they choose a more offensive term). In the USSR, it was customary to glorify only the so-called Russian culture and admire only Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Pushkin, and others. So, that's kind of voice of protest. It's not her fault, if she likes Shakespeare, Dickens or Dumas more than Lermontov. Again, it's just my version. But it seems so. Thank you so much for such a beautiful reaction 💙💛
I was gonna vote for Roxolana and I did, but her performance was underwhelming unfortunately 🙁 And so true, I expected Marcus crazy BANG energy.. Alina Pash delivered 100% so I voted for both.

I hadn't heard the songs prior to watching the national final, but I did check out your top 8 video, to get a flavour of the songs and hear your opinions. I think we agreed with each other quite a bit. Kalush Orchestra was probably my favourite of the night, it was just so outlandish, fun, and catchy, it really got me moving. I also really enjoyed Girlzzz and Wellboy was fun too, though I was perhaps not so crazy about it. Alina Pash does get your attention straight away at the start of the song. I don't actually mind the first verse, but the song really grabs me from the second part of the chorus when the backing vocals really come in. I have to be honest, I kind of like the spoken word part. It's different but it just kind of works for me in the texture of the song. Overall it is another great song for 2022, I am sure I am going to hit a run of songs I don't like at some point. So I best make the most of the good results whilst they are happening. 🤣 Btw, nice new haircut 😊

s it true that there is a controversy with the Ukrainian song about being a representative of Russia and its song, is it true? can anyone explain what happened? thank you very much.
Whattt???? Someone is spreading bullshit. She is representing Ukraine! Alina is Ukrainian. And all her art and music is about Ukraine. It always was this way. Look at her other songs. You won't see Russia there. We are totally different cultures and nations and far from each other, considering constant Russian agression towards us.
Yes, there is some pretty solid proof that Alina had entered Crimea illegally (through Russian borders) which, according to the new rules established after the Maruv incident, should have made her unable to qualify for the tryouts in general. She has also posted pictures of herself against the Kremlin somewhere around 2018 or 2019 which... yikes. And she only cancelled her performances in russia (supposed to have happened the following year) after receiving massive backlash for it. Cultural collaboration with the artists of aggressor state is also very frowned upon, especially in the light of recent events. And there was some really weird stuff going out during the voting count. One of the juries gave Kalush low points because "we don't want Ukraine to always be represented as people from the mountains and forests" and then they give Alina top score for the exact same thing, which looks hypocritical and biased and like a move to secure her win even if she doesn't get the popular vote. Not to mention that the lyrics of her songs are very stereotypical and unimaginative, she can do much better, not that it would excuse any of the other stuff.
There’s a huge scandal because of Alina Pash ‘winning’. Ukraine overwhelmingly voted for Kalush, but judges shuffled the votes and didn’t disclose them to the public. Kalush is the real winner. But Alina has powerful friends in Ukraine and good promotion in Europe, that’s how she ‘won’. Such a disgrace. Everybody in Ukraine I know voted for Kalush and Wellboy and everybody is mad as hell. There is also a political scandal involved as Alina Pash visited Russia after the war broke out in 2014 and she is culturally collaborating with Russia. Ukrainian patriots despise her very much.

Every famous name mentioned in the rapping part brings its own deep message. "One for all and all for one" by Dumas is a very timely call for national unity in face of the threat of ruSSia's full-scale war, as well as the need for Picasso's peace dove. The reference to Dante, who wrote "Divine comedy" about the afterlife soul's journey but nowadays could be writing "Divine tragedy", refers to the current imminent danger of sending humankind to the afterlife. Shakespeare is the master of drama bringing up existential questions including the most famous one "To be or not to be". And Alina's call is "To Be!" and to write our OWN history, remembering ancestors, history, and culture, and to leave our own legacy after ourselves, beautiful like fairytales by Grimm brothers. Very clever lines which should speak to all of Europe. Maybe, too intelligent for less educated people. And the sounds at the beginning and the end are bird calls, uniting with Nature. And I love the beautiful message in the visuals of her eyes: it zooms in and in the depth of each eye another eye keeps appearing like eyes of generations of ancestors. We are onions with layers created by ancestors, direct of spiritual, coming from different cultures.
I would also like to add that the very name of the song echoes the classics of Ukrainian literature - the novel "shadows of the forgotten ancestors". And as for the "bird singing" at the beginning and end of the song - this is a reference to the Hutsul melodies, which are used to call on the spirits of ancestors to help in a difficult moment.
It seems to me that the strength of this song is in its relevance for the Ukrainian people at this moment.
Thanks!

It was a very good national final. I agree with your comments. Roxolana 's performance lacked colours. But I love her song. Alina and Kalush Orchestra were the best when it comes to preformance. They both deserved to win. Ukraine will again go to the final without any problems.
I love your new haircut! 🙂🙂
Hahahahaha thank you ESC keenyah :-)
I think... Alina might be my #1 in Eurovision so far. For now. I got real chills watching this performance, and I don't get those often. Just listening to the studio track, I thought it was decent, but seeing it live and seeing the emotion in her performance just elevated the song so much for me. I agree that I wasn't a huge fan of the spoken word section at first, but watching her performance of it, I can appreciate it a bit more because of what they mean to her. And of course the staging was impeccable. And to think I had no strong feelings on any of these songs going into Vidbir 🤣
Hahahahahaha glad Alina's performance has won you over....to be fair me as well :-)
Alina's song is a Masterpiece! Not often I feel emotional because of ESC songs, but now I did. Not only because of the country's current circumstances, but has also an universal message. Be proud of yourself and your heritage. My 12 points go with peace and Love to Ukrain this year.
It's definately Art :-)
Absolutely incredible. Before I listened to it last night, I didn't think I would like it but it was amazing. Definitely the right choice.

About the good staging, I believe they will change the concept... for a better one!

Thank you so much Matheus. That is really kind of you to say!
Alina or Kalush were for me the best choices for Ukraine moving forward for Ukraine :-)
I was actually rooting for Stefania (Kalush Orchestra), but Alina deserves it.
Alina nailed that performance Renz :-)
Ukraine voted for Kalush overwhelmingly. But votes were shuffled and not disclosed to the public. She claims to have won with just 1 point over Kalush without anyone knowing how many votes she got from the public (which could have easily placed her 3rd or 4th). This whole thing with her winning is staged. Ukrainians are mad!
Literally 4 songs from Ukraine could easily get to the Grand Final in May. My winner was Kalush Orchestra but Alina is also amazing.
BTW the last song for Polish national selection was released yeasterday evening :)

Soo after the live performances.. Kalush was my clear number one.. they just brought the energy to the stage! Roxolana right after them unfortunately just fell flat.. her voice seemed also very thin? so she ended on my fifth place.. Alina became my second, the song is really beautiful, but I still don’t like the talking/„rap“ part.. but okay.. wellboy on my third and Michael on fourth..
anyway Alina is a great pick even if I liked Kalush more! Well done Ukraine!
Hahaha some harsh criticism here....I kind of love it Gijo :-)
Yeah Roxolana was a disappointment for me :-)
I think Kalush it Alina would have/will do give Ukraine another top 10 finish :-)

It is unfortunate that Vidbir ended with quite a drama. A lot of Ukranians and Kalush fans are all over the internet trying to DQ Alina because of some controversy that happened in the past and the voting result.
Your typical twitter canceling contained there (and in other social networks). Also, as you said, Kalush fans
"because of some controversy"?????
She visited occupied Crimea from the russian side (which is forbidden by the law, because it's justification of occupation). And she never apologized for this. Also she was collaborating a lot with russian artists. Which is controversial considering huge russian army which is threating Ukrainian border right now.
@@lerapin
She is ACCUSED of visiting occupied Crimea from the russian side. If you want to be a European remember that people are innocent till proven guilty.
Also, visiting occupied Crimea from the Russian Side is a non-criminal offense punishable by a small fine. You make it sound like high treason.
Her having collaborations with Russians YEARS ago aren't even crimes.
People like you are insane, we have a very strong pro-Ukrainian message in a very good song but you want to destroy it because you SUSPECT that the singer isn't sincere enough. This isn't patriotism
ationalism because patriotism is about the interests of the country and nationalism is about the interests of the nation. Your hysteria goes against both.

I would like to say a couple words about the possible reason why she's so emotional in the rapping part, regarding the words she's saying. And it connects with what's happening now between Russia and Ukraine.
The Russians believe that they are one people with the Ukrainians. And the fact that Ukraine has chosen democracy and cooperation with the Western world is considered a betrayal. Ukrainians shouldn't be friends with "Anglo-Saxons" (they choose a more offensive term).
In the USSR, it was customary to glorify only the so-called Russian culture and admire only Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Pushkin, and others.
So, that's kind of voice of protest. It's not her fault, if she likes Shakespeare, Dickens or Dumas more than Lermontov.
Again, it's just my version. But it seems so.
Thank you so much for such a beautiful reaction 💙💛
Thank YOU Olga for this! Really helps people like me understand the different levels going on behind the song. Thank you :-)

I hadn't heard the songs prior to watching the national final, but I did check out your top 8 video, to get a flavour of the songs and hear your opinions. I think we agreed with each other quite a bit.
Kalush Orchestra was probably my favourite of the night, it was just so outlandish, fun, and catchy, it really got me moving. I also really enjoyed Girlzzz and Wellboy was fun too, though I was perhaps not so crazy about it.
Alina Pash does get your attention straight away at the start of the song. I don't actually mind the first verse, but the song really grabs me from the second part of the chorus when the backing vocals really come in. I have to be honest, I kind of like the spoken word part. It's different but it just kind of works for me in the texture of the song.
Overall it is another great song for 2022, I am sure I am going to hit a run of songs I don't like at some point. So I best make the most of the good results whilst they are happening. 🤣
Btw, nice new haircut 😊
Firstly sorry for delay in response. Secondly thank you for the lovely compliment haha and thirdly soooooo happy with outcome of recent events related to Ukraine then? :-)
Here are the lyrics:
Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors
Trembitas* are crying for my free people who has been suffering through hardships for centuries. Perun * and Dazhboh* heard tribal prayers. Viche * formed the code of ethnic communities. So that the nobility flourished, Cossacks defended the land. My Fatherland, a young girl, will grow like golden wheat!
Hey, destiny, come out of the water! Save my heart from misfortune! Come out from the water, destiny! All my sisters, all my brothers, give a drop-that’s all we need! Shadows of forgotten ancestors, yours and mine, in chronicles, hearts, eyes, and blood of centuries forever! Shadows of forgotten ancestors in chronicles, hearts and eyes, in our blood forever!
I'm a gіrl from a small town,
My folks are best descrіbed
in the wrіtіng of Dumas-
One for all and all for one!
Nowadays, Dante would've wrіtten the Divine Tragedy,
But we need Pіcasso's dove-
it’s the dіvіne strategy.
In my chіldhood, girls
played wіth toy dolls.
But I wrote these words here-my favorіte toy was
a book by Shakespeare.
Just lіke the Brothers Grіmm,
I'll leave behіnd a piece of me.
Remember your ancestors,
But wrіte your own hіstory!
*Trembita -a musical instrument from the region of the Carpathian mountains en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trembita.

@@ShanesEurovisionReview, Україна переможе, без варіантів!
Дякую за підтримку України, це дуже важливо зараз! 🇺🇦
Well ...I guess the universe was trying to tell you something. 😅
Number 4 lol
Haha 😃
As much as I love “Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors”, and I still do. But I really hope they get rid of the image of her lip-syncing behind herself. Feels distracting and cheapens the overall performance for me. I’m hoping for it to take a different direction at eurovision. Still my current second place though. 😂
Всё правильно! Алина готова к Евровидению однозначно!!! Её победа в финале неоспорима!!! Желаю ей победы в Турине!!!

For some strange reason, Jamala didn't like Alina's song despite it being similar in the way she had performed her song. She doesn't believe apparently in 'crying on stage'.
Did she say that??? Strange!
Почему вы так решили????

How are you?☺️ That haircut suits you, you are handsome. Greetings from Serbia
I am good Nemanja :-)
Hahahahaha thank you for the lovely compliment 😉
@@ShanesEurovisionReview You’re welcome, but I just had to say that, cuz I just like those blue eyes and that smile of yours. You got that face beauty, so always love yourself.
Uh, sorry for this, I really never leave this kind of comments, but I had to say it now😂😂 Sorry, I will stop from here🤣
@@nemanjajovanovic2957 haha...thank you Nemanja :-)

No offense but UK would never send anything anything close too this. They call ALL culture stuff shit. And then they are last every year.
Do we actually say this? Not sure how accurate this is of the UK!
@@ShanesEurovisionReview If we are honest: BBC mock EVERYTHING that is good and said UK was the best last year. They came last. Also UK deserved last with that horrible singing and staging. UK dont see what the rest off Europe see. Very delusional. You have too agree.
@@johana7021 hahaha I am so confused Johan! The BBC mocked Europe? What as in our commentators mocked other songs? Johan you have to help to help me out here with some examples! I WANT to agree with you but I am struggling to think of a time when the BBC would do this! I am not disagreeing with your comment about last place though! With all the songs in the final it was one of the worst....sorry Europe haha 😃
she didnt win the televote because of politics.
There's something not clear about the attribution of points. The same ukrainian say so.
Its romanian culture stile music...not Ukraine stiyle
Is it? To be fair I would not really have any idea!
Well she’s not going to Eurovision or representing Ukraine now
I know!!!!! Not sure what to really say about the whole thing to be honest.
Slavic sounds very heard already in ESC, nothing new. Reminds me a lot of Jamala
Jamala is not slavic, she is of the tatars of Crimea, they are related to turks
@@sorokonizhka3207 Crimean Tatars are Ukrainians! They are the same citizens as others in Ukraine! Do no divide us!
@@l.u.7834 Are you dumb? Where did I say they are not ukrainians?
s it true that there is a controversy with the Ukrainian song about being a representative of Russia and its song, is it true? can anyone explain what happened? thank you very much.
Whattt???? Someone is spreading bullshit. She is representing Ukraine! Alina is Ukrainian. And all her art and music is about Ukraine. It always was this way. Look at her other songs. You won't see Russia there. We are totally different cultures and nations and far from each other, considering constant Russian agression towards us.
Yes, there is some pretty solid proof that Alina had entered Crimea illegally (through Russian borders) which, according to the new rules established after the Maruv incident, should have made her unable to qualify for the tryouts in general. She has also posted pictures of herself against the Kremlin somewhere around 2018 or 2019 which... yikes. And she only cancelled her performances in russia (supposed to have happened the following year) after receiving massive backlash for it.
Cultural collaboration with the artists of aggressor state is also very frowned upon, especially in the light of recent events.
And there was some really weird stuff going out during the voting count. One of the juries gave Kalush low points because "we don't want Ukraine to always be represented as people from the mountains and forests" and then they give Alina top score for the exact same thing, which looks hypocritical and biased and like a move to secure her win even if she doesn't get the popular vote. Not to mention that the lyrics of her songs are very stereotypical and unimaginative, she can do much better, not that it would excuse any of the other stuff.
There’s a huge scandal because of Alina Pash ‘winning’. Ukraine overwhelmingly voted for Kalush, but judges shuffled the votes and didn’t disclose them to the public. Kalush is the real winner. But Alina has powerful friends in Ukraine and good promotion in Europe, that’s how she ‘won’. Such a disgrace. Everybody in Ukraine I know voted for Kalush and Wellboy and everybody is mad as hell. There is also a political scandal involved as Alina Pash visited Russia after the war broke out in 2014 and she is culturally collaborating with Russia. Ukrainian patriots despise her very much.

What hypocrisy! On the one hand to talk about Ukraine being at war, endlessly reflecting Russian aggression for eight years, and on the other hand having so much fun talking about preparations for a song contest.
🤭we even can make weird jokes about this Russian agression. We do not have time to be sad. 😌
