Jamala will replace MARUV's place with song "Uncomfortable question" xD
when questions are coming
they're uncomfortable
they will ask you
is crim-ea ukraine?Ukraine?
HAHA
@@MegaApiapi ahahhhahhah im dead
Jamala is actually likelier to represent Ukraine this year rather than anyone who's in the selection imho
killed me haha
I‘m glad you‘re speaking up. Your voice is important here. So thank you!
Thank you Chev!
I feel so sorry for her😭🇺🇦💔
She's had such an eventful week. I hope she makes it to Eurovision...somehow.
@@Wiwibloggs She doesn't want to do it as a Ukrainian delegate. Her song belongs to russians
I feel sorry for the jury. Missed chance :')
@@Wiwibloggs no

When Jamala asked MARUV if Crimea is Ukraine, MARUV looked so uncomfortable. This girl is here to perform her music not to be someone's political puppet. Just let the girl sing.
And what do you think, is Crimea UA?
Just put this Jamala to prison... such questions don’t belong at a song contest
Nicole Rowe agree!!
I dont like Jamala. She's very annoying
Maybe ask the people of Crimea how they feel and how they felt when the leader they democratically voted for, who had the majority of votes from the whole of Ukraine, was ousted in an illegal coup
Whats with Jamala....is she have some kind of seizure?
sincitybg looks like. agree
She’s s mad lady
She was pretending being a reporter for Eurovision that would probably ask her that question. The excuse for this was "you have to be prepared and know what to answer when they ask you about Crimea, the war..." and all that stuff.
I don't agree about bringing politics in a musical contest, but that was the reason of Jamala's question. Plus you can tell she was speaking in English and acting like a fool, no one asks a serious question by themselves in a language that in not theirs and moves like a child.
BRING MARUV BACK!!! WE VOTED FOR HER!!!
I didn’t want her to win but I agree with you 100%!
She declined to sign the contract why we should take her?
@@evgenboychuk8962 didn`t you hear them describe how tyranical the contract was?
@@dmytrom297 the contract was not that bad, if she wanted she would have agreed on all the points. just had seen an interview with the organizer, they wanted her to confirm cultural part and how she will be presenting my country she told them she didn't want it and turned everything to political aspects, not good to manipulate... She is not a victim and we might reject participation this year in esc.
Evgen Boychuk По контракту ей пришлось бы 1. Переписать права на песню. 2. Оплатить Всю поездку из своего кармана. 3. Отменить все концерты в России. 4. Любые встречи с журналистами и интервью исключительно по предварительному согласованию с укр стороной, иначе штраф под 100к $.
Это же пиздец, кто тут согласится. А если бы выиграла она, то лизали бы зад потом ещё хрен знает сколько лет, и кричали бы «наша победила, украинка». И я не про народ который за неё голосовал, а про дебилов с ТВ.
By the way, Jamala herself has performed in Russia post 2014 AND her parents still live in Crimea, so she is the biggest hypocrite
Yeah she is still stuck in the past about what happened back in 1944 (her song.....) @@xmyxymx
Yes, her parents do live there, they were forced to. And that ist what she was talking about when talking to the twins performers. She can't see them now, her family is torn apart. So SHE IS THE ONE TO SAY
Natalia Miilu, with that all being said. I don't think that Crimea is a topic to discuss at a Song Contest. As long as a contestant ist Ukrainian and loves his country deeply - everything is fine. Now would I or anyone I know be ok with a person going, whose parent received a medal for "getting Crimea back to Russia"??(wtf??) No, obviously not. But that was more of a show runner's mistake - a background check would have solved this. But Maruv wone fair and square, I would have been happy if she did go as Ukrainian contestant. If only she wouldn't be so titsy about the contract. These rules where there for Verka Serduchka as well.
@@aleksandraopochenska7610 Not in a musical competition!... Not the place! Never have been, Never should be.
@@aleksandraopochenska7610 The contract is oppressing her future income!... No one has the rights to do that to anyone. Maruv did amazing standing by her own! Not signing that contract! She had a dream of being in Eurovision, not only did she came to compete for her country, but won!.. and I wouldn't be surprised if she had won the entire thing!.. or at least put Ukraine in top 5! That would also be a great win, for her and any country. So she decides not to be a political weapon in an absurd Jamala world of injustice and all that jazz. Instead!, she throws a well-deserved realization of a dream, and decides to not compete for a hypocritical system! Kudos for an amazing strong (and gorgeous) woman!
They should have punished ORGANIZERS, not Maruv. Like it or not, ukrainians voted for her and she won
EBU shouldn't allow a broadcaster that's a puppet of a government like Ukraine's to participate in Eurovision
But now she can freely go to russia and sing non-stop - what can ve better than that for a kremlin puppet?
Melovin's manager said their contract was different from the one offered Maruv! There were no forfeits and other drivels about press or performance. That's why Maruv feels so offended now😣
Jul Weaver wow that’s bs! Maruv deserves better!
Maruv needs to go! If not, EBU please ban Ukraine for this unhuman behavior..! #justice4maruv
I'm from Ukraine and I completely agree!
I'm from Russia and I don't think there should be banning but they should make them to let Maruv go
@@anastasiahey2327 it's impossible because technically it's her who declined participation and didn't sign the contract.
@@ivan3077 and that is bcs the conditions were so cruel and inhumane
@@arlene1263 I know. I don't think there's much to be done here unless they ask Maruv to participate again and change the contract giving her more freedom to express. But it's only 1 day left for Ukraine to present our contestant which makes it even less possible. I think tomorrow we will find out who's replacing her...
"Go save Belarus" 😂 love from 🇧🇾❤️
annie dayne точно!!!
But then Belarus couldnt send Micheal Soul whonwould be fantastic as well =P
Under wicked skies, we need to humanize (lit part)
(The next lyrics I forgot because I was getting annoyed by the song already)
Yeah not really for me, but would be something different for Eurovision, so that's cool
Yeah, Michael Soul's song is definitely not a grower lol. Zena is my only hope for Belarus this year
annie dayne Absolutely!
Who could be a better ambassador than the artist who was chosen by the Ukrainian televote? This situation is crazy.
@#ТРЭШ канал Vidbir really was an anti-Russian show last week, I agree. They tried to turn what should have been a fun show into political intimidation, they got ESC wrong
Jamala should never have won, she is too political! “Don’t get too political” by Leonora - Denmark ESC 2019 🇩🇰
well maybe there is a reason for it? ever thought about it?
@@-_YouMayFind_- It's not Eurovision political contest so She shouldn't be political.
# Str Thanks I didn’t see the mistake
Research the whole aftermath of Ukraine becoming independent from the Soviet Union until now and you might see a reason why they're acting like this
@@illasra I know why they're acting like this. Of course I do. But this is song competition, not a political arena. I have 1 Russian and 3 Ukraine classmates and they're completely fine with each other. This is just political thing that shouldn't be in a these competitions.
what has to happen is 1 of 2 things.
1) renegotiate and give Maruv more freedoms and get her performing for Ukraine, only thing in that contract that should stay is to not perform in Russia in the lead up to Eurovision, take everything else off.
or
2) Ukraine should not be competing and UA:PBC must be fined by the EBU
omg yesssss
As much as I would love to see Maruv, after what they did to her I wouldnt come back even if they changed their minds
MrM Rus I wouldn’t blame her either, but that’s what should be put back on the table and then Maruv can choose whether she wants Eurovision or not
Lol.
I completly agree
JUSTICE FOR MARUV!!
VOTE FOR ICELAND instead!... They stand to fight the system at least!... The Eurovision corruption!...
Leonora’s line: Don’t get too political
Exactly what I commented on Facebook once I learned the sad news... Ukraine, please !!
Amen to that. Maruv would maebe win.
SO APPROPRIATE!
@@marc-antoinemc2116 HI
@@badiskhay7908 Hello you !! 😁
Jamala sung about the oppression of the Tatars. Yet !! she participates in oppressing Ukrainian's own citizens.
Love Maruv, such a lovely and fantastic performer, perfect artist, great song, gets better each time I listen to it.
Where is the freedom and opportunity promised to the Ukrainian people ? Seems like the current government has no qualms with crunching down on it's own artists. I think any nation that oppresses it's own artists is not a good country to live in. And it is an indication of something terribly rotten residing under the surface.
Thanks Deban and Willian, great show. Thank you for bringing this to light !
I would vote for this song, defiantly. Love from Iceland :D
Almost all Ukrainians don't agree with that withdrawal. Unfortunately it's all about politic
Оlena Kneychuk nobody cares about your voice, democratic votes is a mystery.
Я не понимаю, в чём проблема? Марув сама отказалась подписывать контракт, не думаю, что там были такие кабальные условия, никто не видел этот контракт, но все думают, со слов Марув, что там были ужасные условия, а на самом деле один единственный пункт был внесён: о гастролях в России ,( и то отмена всего лишь на 3 месяца) а всё остальное -те же требования как у всех стран на Евровидении, номер расписывают посекундно для картинки на телеэкранах, поэтому импровизации на сцене не приветствуются, представитель страны должен быть хотя бы чуточку грамотен в вопросах о ситуации в своей родной стране , но Марув именно из-за этого не захотела подписывать контракт, я думаю это был просто повод, чтобы отказаться и показать себя " жертвой" ,хотя на самом деле она была "оружием" в гибридной войне, даже не осознавая этого! К сожалению, виноваты в данной ситуации все, в первую очередь те, кто предложил её кандидатуру, затем те кто утвердил, те кто дал ей шанс пройти в финал, жюри и в последнюю очередь зрители, которые выбирали из тех, кто был на финале. А Марув изначально серьёзно к этому и не относилась, она просто хорошо на этом пропиарилась и на словах будучи "патриотом " своей Родины-Украины, де- факто облила её такой грязью, что той сейчас и не отмыться от этой истории, всё на радость врагам!!! А Марув" белая и пушистая" осталась, хотела бы она действительно представлять Украину, подписала бы контракт и серьёзно готовилась бы к конкурсу, но ей видно не это нужно было, она же сама в интервью после победы говорила:"я ещё не поняла, во что я вляпалась" Теперь поняла не только она, но и вся Украина. Осадок остался мерзопакостный от всей этой истории. Так что не надо так уж сильно её жалеть, не за что, она не собиралась на Евровидение и не хотела , а неподписанием контракта только подтвердила это!!! И потом,её официально не объявили участником от Украины, так как она не подписала контракт, поэтому вообще неясно о чём речь. Будет участник- будем обсуждать, а пока это внутренние дела Нацотбора.
@@tatianaleschinskaja7334 спасибо за адекватное мнение! как будто все с ума сошли просто, кабальный договор...
@@tatianaleschinskaja7334 А как насчет остальных пунктов? Невозможность импровизации, штрафы, передача прав на песню, ко всему прочему финансировой поддержки не оказывается.
@@tatianaleschinskaja7334 да неужели? Вы так внимательно изучили договор?
Jamala: crimea is ukraine?
Gun clicks behind maruv
Maruv: ukraine of course
Are you mad? Thanks God Ukraine is not dictatorship yet, like Russia wants it to be. BTW such performance of Maruv is possible only probably in Ukraine, because in Britain it for sure would be prohibited, so it's telling about freedom in Ukraine more than anything! Even in Eurovision in Israel, I'm not sure it would be allowed.
@@beautifulbutterfly5578 Why wouldn't be? Is UK still living in their Victorian era?
gino7lord
it was so!
Sweet Jesus.... 🙄
I fear you are suffering from dellusions.
EBU pls help and send Maruv :(((
EBU can't do anything about that
EBU can ban Ukraine and this what they must to do
@@siwienty14 Yeah only thing EBU can do is ban ukraine from the next eurovision, which I wish they do, and ban such contracts from the future contests

She should represent the other countries that have her offers! Could’ve been a win for Ukraine such a disappointment!
Trae James She didn’t want to represent other countries than Ukraine.
Especially since Jamala!
Why would she represent any other countries? That feels more of an betrayer act.
Trae James nah she wouldn't have won an easy top 5 though
It's Jamala's fault. Now everybody knows EBU was wrong about letting her compete in ESC 2016.
It isn't. Her behaviour makes sense and the Vidbir final thing was obviously scripted.
@@illasra She drove MARUV to start the politics thing with Crimea over - so yeah. And if this was really scripted, Ukraine should be disqualified.
In 2016 Eurovision say it’s okay song 1944, it’s not political at all, but now you see what happens. I think if in 2016 all countries says it’s SONG contest not war or parliament with political statements, maybe today it’s not happening with MARUV and all fans of Eurovision WITHOUT politics 🖕🏻🤦♂️
Sergej Lazarev should invite Maruv to go on ESC stage with him.
Epic!
Lol and after that she'll be banished forever and never be able to cross Ukrainian borderline :) don't think she'll accept this offer
And then she will become 3rd
Ukrainians are devastated! They voted for her!
MARUV is all about freedom to create music. She is a great entertainer!
She would have won Eurovision and our government just stole this win from Ukraine.
This is the only thing they are good at, stealing
Sveta Shevchuk just like putin
Do something for God sakeeee spray this news everywhere to make justice for Maruv!!
There's a petition online !
@@NikMaxens could you share a link with us?
I think that the EBU should intervene, and if not the fans should boycott whomever Ukraine picks just to make sure that this will be the first time Ukraine don't make it to the final.
It totally should!!!?
DO NOT boycott the person who does go, it's the broadcasters fault. The participant (whoever it is) does NOT deserve to be boycotted, if you're boycotting anyone boycott UA:PBC
@@coolguybrian if the broadcaster isn't held accountable to their action by the EBU it should be done by the public. It's not about boycotting an artist, it's about boycotting an entry for breaking the rules of the competition. Boycotting UA:PBC means nothing.
@@iftyhargil8359 but if you boycott the artist then you are punishing that person who has done absolutely nothing wrong. Its not fair. Makes you as bad as UA:PBC. the EBU should just be telling UA:PBC that if they want to compete this year it has to be Maruv as she won their national selection.
@@lonmar0612
It's perfectly fair because any artist who accepts the deal after the way Maruv has been treated as her replacement is therefore complacent in the way she was treated, and therefore is not an innocent artist detached from political decision by the UA:PBC. If they get backlash for it then it's well earned.
Omg disqualify this country pls!!! They bring politics in ESC since 2016 HUH
2016 - Political song
2017 - Banning Russia from ESC
2018 - Something must have happened for sure lol
2019 - This video explains everything
ESC Dimpap Russia brings us war since 2014, we have the right
@@Alina190995 War is in your heads and hearts.

In 2018, the entry was Melovin and most of the drama was about him not speaking Ukrainian very well (in interviews he speaks mostly Russian, often in the Odessa dialect) as well as his inadequate English. He had to bring a translator and some people saw that as anachronistic.
Ukraine deserve to disqualify from the contest. While Maruv deserve to come back for an another country's contestant!
Russia xd
She definetely does
She could take part in Kazakhstan 😆
Or do like the non banned russian athletes at the olypics last year; get to preform and compete as a contestant for the EBU/EBU citizen of Ukrain(they should then also ban Ukraine from the competition this year)
I really hope EBU accepts MARUV as an artist so she can go to ESC! :(
The EBU has nothing to say about that.
But they should.
EBU could banned Israel as well for their politics and they don't anyting, besides they are planning the festival in Tel Aviv this year so....
Freedom Jazz has said NO THANK YOU to UA:PBC's offer to go to Eurovision: wiwibloggs.com/2019/02/26/freedom-jazz-reject-invite-to-sing-for-ukraine-at-eurovision-2019/234066/
Maruv did well saying she will not participate in the political fight between russia and ukraine. ukraine should be banned for that. the esc should not be a stage for policy -_-
speedofsound Jamala should be banned, it’s not whole Ukraine’s fault after all
A sleazy, dirty, overly sexual song....I love it!!!!
😉
I'll agree with you about the song, but I pity her personally
She did the right choice! Political bullshit....
Jamala's family was deported from Crimea by the Soviet authorities, they miraculously survived after that, and now Jamala can't get home either. It's not a surprise that she's asking that. This is an important question if you want to represent your country, that is now bombed by russia because of people like Maruv, unfortunately
Ah yes, Maruv is the one ordering bombings.
@@_blank-_ She is supporting the ones ordering bombings
I was close to tears when I heard the news. But after watching the National Selection I knew this was about to happen and it sucks. I wouldnt go if MARUV was reconsidered. I even feel like she would be in danger, dont ask me, its just a gut feeling. But you guys, I just agree with you.
Maybe MARUV as an interval act would be possible. Just fair atleast.
What a mess. They really took the dramatic road huh?
Like so many other Ex-Soviet states in Eurovision
@@illasra Well ... Ukraine is the most wretched up country in the Europe. Only Russia somehow matches their level of corruption.
@@illasra okay honey, you should start assuming that your country is almost to be a dictatorship state...
Ukraine just withdraw, and EBU give them a huge ass fine for withdrawing, thanks
If they won't send MARUV, I hope they'll get banned.
They won't. There is no way they will after 2010.
I hope you understand it now after Russian invasion on Ukraine why this political aspect was so important to us. Maruv entertained Russia giving her concerts there and she is doing it even after Russian invasion. Can you believe it??? We couldn’t allow her to represent Ukraine.
Yeah, now we understand how obsessed with cutting all ties to Russia you were, even going on a witch hunt against your Eurovision gig. Next time, send the Azov Battalion Choir or the Clown Zelensky. 100% politically correct.
How can someone WIN the TELEVOTE and then said it doesn't represent the country? The people WANT to be represented by Maruv. Ukraine is pro-democracy right? That's what they're trying to achieve right? So give the people what they want. UA:PBC better learn that the people working in their broadcaster doesn't represent the whole country.
"Maruv wins esc 2020 for RUSSIA" would be amazing xD
or for Norway! She would do a great job! better than Keiino!
Beni Rodriguez No, Keiino were epic and they were #1 in televoting so people liked them the best
For Russia. Heh TIME2GETREVENGE Ukrainian government!
There is no 2020
If Ukrainian politics prevent Maruv from performing at the ESC, the organizers in Tel Aviv should at least invite her personally to perform on the ESC-stage at some point during the evening of the competition.
Y'all just don't understand the situation. By bashing Ukrainian precautions in order to choose the proper singer you are just pushing anti-ukrainian ideas even though Ukraine was smart in preventing these singers from preforming. Since for Euro-Vision a country isn't choosing just a singer it's choosing an "international ambassador" that basically represents the country! That is why they make sure these artists are going to falsely represent the country on such a big stage.

It's so sad! Maruv deserve be in the contest! 😥
I always thought the Eurovision SONG Contest, was about how good the song and singer were 🤔 Not who had the best staging or was the most controversial 🤷🏼♀️ The only part of Maruv’s song that I liked was the dance beat 💥 Her voice wasn’t anything special and the lyrics were not that great 👎🏻 Saying that, I do think she still should have been able to represent Ukraine 🇺🇦👍🏻 xx 💋
Agree
Tabitha de Haan ❤️ Thank you 😊 xx 💋
"Not who had the best staging " - Check out when Latvia won in 2002. They won because of the staging (which was groundbreaking for the time) not for the song or singer. Also when Sweden won in 2015 they won for the staging, not the song or singing.
Bouncealong Inflatables Ltd I liked both of those songs and they were still better than Maruv’s 👍🏻
Then you need to start watching Eurovision. It's about the whole package just like a successfull singer. It's about the written lyrics, singing ability, stage presence and perfomance, and the stage choreography. Otherwise everyone would be in a simple business attire standing singing the song. How boring is that.
Love your reaction to the songs! But for Ukrainians, since 2014 (the beginning of the war with Russia), the political position has meant a lot. Because of loyalty to Russia, we lost a lot: homes, people. Many Ukrainians supported this decision (revocation of Maruv's victory), including me, because we cannot tolerate those who kill us. And as we see now, we Ukrainians are being killed by the Russians every day

What's going on is horrible, it's a mockery of her... She won fair and square! The broadcaster did everything to make her refuse to participate!
The government*
I voted for her and now I don't want Ukraine to participate thus year anymore
Poor MARUV. Ukraine should sit this year out, clearly their broadcaster can't grasp the whole concept of Eurovision.
MARUV TO EUROVISION
This is more deeper problem, coz before the Vidbir UA media talk about Maruv and connection with one member of jury. I think they made a sotry about politics coz the production wanted to kick her out from the cantest before.
And now is when Russia send Maruv next year and ukraine will just mindblow😂
haha "maruv wins esc 2020 for russia"
She is the ultimate hypocrite and everyone doubting her was right all along then.
@@seanpierce2943 ??
What are you talking about?
@@missdead1 only in your dreams
Freedom Jazz already rejected the offer! They did the right thing!
I don't think she should represent Ukraine because they don't deserve her anymore after everything they've done. Maybe a different country “go save 🇧🇾 belarus” queen MARUV.
that's disrespectful to Ukrainians who voted for her - they do deserve her - but their ruling people doesn't deserve Ukraine
MJM I know they rightly voted for her and if any act should it should be her but what I meant was that Ukraine should withdraw this year and they have.
I'M JUST DISGUSTED and I can't get over it . . . all I know is that I NEED Maruv and "Siren Song" performed in Eurovision!
Don't be, because it's not like it seems. So don't be part of this blown out of proportion antiUkrainian act! It's informational war! Yes , war!
@@beautifulbutterfly5578 I'm not part of any antiukrainian act, I'm not blaming ukraine as a country or her people. I'm just pissed with the broadcaster and this ridiculous contract. And if it's a war, they started it. Plus the majority of the ukrainian people I've seen support Maruv, they've chosen her after all. There should be no part for this political bullshit in Eurovision...
Denmark needs to sing their song to the broadcaster.
Don't even stick your nose into this.
Being there in comfortable place without a war and military conflict in your country, you have personal drama the you will not see Maruv on eurovision.
You don't understand nothing about situation in Ukraine, and the war that Russia is performing on Ukraine's territory, and how those things find its reflection in public people like Maruv.
I am ukrainian, but I live in Spain 20 years ago. I loke Maruv, because over the years the people who follow her have seen her growth as an artist and in the end that was valued by the ukrainian community. It's not vulgar, it's sexy, it's not porn it's a show. If we look at Madonna's performances, they are much more explicit but people look at them with an open mind. Ukrainians have an open mind too, they have shown, but politicians do not. For that reason I think that unfortunately my country has no democratic origin. We do not have to ask permission for an artist to represent us. Maruv has shown with her attitude that she is worthy of being what she is. Even if I do not go to Eurovision, I hope you know her all over the world and listen to her music. Bang will be number one this summer.
You make some great points! The Madonna comparison is on point!
Your country is in war with an aggressor called Russia, during war democracy is limited, as are various freedoms.
Maruv should start her own country and go represent herself without this mockery
It's just a f*cked up situation, literally that contract was tailored to make it impossible for someone to agree...
What I hope is that Ukraine withdraws from the contest alltoghether and that Maruv represents some other country.
let Maruv be a interval act this year! she deserve it!❤️
I at least hope she won’t get more trouble for sharing so many details from the contract. So sad this happened this way, she deserves better
Its actually incredible of her to expose their bullshit
I want the EBU to kick Ukraine out for this year. Next year they can come back!
Btw, Sergey Lazarev considers Crimea is Ukraine, he said it straight and openly, and he goes to Eurovision for the 2nd time representing Russia. That's all you have to know bout totalitarian Russia and democratic Ukraine.
Who cares what Lazarev thinks about an independent state in Europe.
You don't have to but you do if you comment :))@@krasteff
Ukraine for ban. Stop closing your eyes on their behavior
Ukraine should get over the political drama with Russia in the ESC.
I feel so sorry for Maruv.
Jamala let me down a lot with that question!
I hope UA-PBC gets fined for doing this sh***. And disqualified. And I am ukrainian
Maruv is not completely innocent in this. She wasn't willing to sign the basic EBU contract that every performer in Eurovision signs.
With that said the UA PBC have really made a mess out of this.
I think Maruv is a very brave woman for not only refusing such a contract but for exposing its horrors to save any future victim from being signed into this monstrosity. I only see two options going forward because I don't think any artist will want to sign up because of the contract details, either Maruv is allowed to participate without having to sign this slave contract or Ukraine withdraws entirely.
Shame on you Ukraine! This is so ridiculous! All the political isues you may have in your country, you must deal with them internally, the ESC is about music, it should represent freedom of creativity, integrity and should celebrate music, not political advertisement.
I sincerely think that the ESC organizers should take a position on Ukraines participation cause this action is so embarrassing
Lol
Euro contest was never about only music. Especially in the last decade.
@Adam Chasing brexit and annexation of the territory is not the same. Crimea is home of Jamala, that's why the topic is so sensitive for her.
If there's not solution. EBU could invite her to perform in the final as part of the interval-act.
I'M SO PISSED OFF! I think the EBU should disqualify Ukraine :c
We in the Netherlands don't even get to chose our eurosong festival candidate
I'm from Ukraine and I think only Maruv has the right to represent Ukraine this year because she won. If it's not her Ukraine should be disqualified this year.
The Ukraine broadcaster is clearly at fault here and the EBU should disqualify their participation in this year's contest.
you are clearly a russian troll
She had a great chance to win eurovision.
і кому така перемога була би в радість? мені було би бридко, що україну представляє особа, яка любить лише гроші. навіть сьогодні, коли вона народила дитину в києві під бомбами - вона все одно мовчить про те, що росія - агресор, бо хоче всидіти на двох стільцях
Maruv should team up with Sergey Lazarev and show Ukranians that Music has nothing to do with Politics.
I didn't really like the song but Maruv deserves to be in Tel Aviv 💔
Same thought here...
Same here
Same here.
Agree
Same
Isn't it amazing that when Ukraine hosted the contest in 2017, the host broadcaster wanted the rest of the world to see Ukraine as a modern, developed, open and liberal country? Then you have the broadcaster putting in all of these silly terms into a contract which makes them look so closed-minded, backwards and stubborn. I absolutely loved my time in Ukraine by the way. The country and the people were amazing. I'm only criticising the broadcaster. I sincerely hope this whole mess will be resolved and we'll all get to see Maruv in Tel-Aviv.
Thanks, dear friend, for such a good words for Ukraine. But I think it would be better for us to make a pause with this year song contest.
Guys, you dont know exact situation that happened here. U dont know fully our situation with Russia. Sorry, but you cant judge this.
Exactly what Deban says. Ukraine has to destroy the contract and send Maruv.
We in Ukraine also really want that Maruv go to Eurovision from Ukraine.
But our politicians idiots spoil everything.
I wish Maruv that she went to the competition from another country.
Do not generilze. I am Ukrainian and I am against maruv at the contest.
I’m completely agree with you guys! Ukraine has gone way too far in this. I’m Ukrainian, we chose Maruv to represent our country, we want her to go, and politicians have no rights to undo our decision. Also, I think that the problem has been not only in Maruv’s gigs in Russia, but also because some (uptight) people may think her staging and performance aren’t decent enough and would promote a whole country for “sex-tourism” and prostitution. Which is completely ridiculous. But it is how it is.
Jamala (who wants to be seen as very patriotic) had concerts in Russia in 2015, after a Crimea situation. And she was allowed to represent Ukraine at ESC-2016 even though it was more tension between countries back then. Isn’t it double standards?
I am not happy. keep these political differences out of Eurovision. arrrgg arrg
_Looking at a country to the east of Ukraine_
@@illasra look at yourself
I don't have a mirror here
Any reaction from the EBU yet?!
Jamala has concert at 2015 at Sochi (Russian Federation) and represent Ukraine at 16 year after that.
I can't even begin to understand how tense the political situation in Ukraine is right now and I understand that their representative can't spout certain political opinions (e.g. crimea). But especially Ukraine that aspires to be a normal democratic european country they should value artistic freedom more. Competing in the ESC shouldn't damage your career before you could even do it all by yourself on stage.
Guys,u r so right Ukraine is a CIRCUS!Now u can see it!!NOBODY wants to represent Ukraine now. It's fail! Everybody wants Maruv. She has a lot of fans in Russia,Ukraine and Europe. I really want her to go to ESC2019
Sigh. We will invite MARUV to the Wiwi Jam
Ginger _, ok, but you are a troll, so called kremlebot.
1:15
Jamala asking that question was so weird... Especially how she ended her question at 1:24...
It’s pretty sure that nobody will represent Ukraine this year. Two singer of the 2 and 3 place refused to go to the EV song contest ...
I hope EBU will disqualify us.
Meh they will let you take part ...but the fans won't vote for you which may lead to a non qualification ... 😐
@@Squilliam15 oh, i hope so.
I personally just don't get it?! EBU is right not to get too involved, but do give them a fine!! Ukraine is acting so petty right now.
It is a disgrace, I wish EBU would be more strict on that, everyone is so done with Ukraine bringing politics where they should not be. What they did to Maruv deserves a disqualification for this year
Why was Jamala speaking English?
I love the passive aggressive "Let's do this!" in the beginning
I have no words 😢 Maruv come to Australia 🇦🇺❤️
Leonora is absolutely right: Don't get to political 🇩🇰
Iceland's HATARI are even more right! ;D VOTE FOR ICELAND!
No wonder I've never been a big fan of Ukraine in ESC and Jamala..... this proved that!!!
