Hopefully they will sing something better next yearĬharlotte I am drawn into this song immediately. This is the same sort of screechy noise that Poland sent last year. Michael While I do believe go_a are quite talented, by not letting potential visitors to Russia to compete, the Vidbir is now limited in who can represent Ukraine.

Definitely one of my favourites this year and I am very glad that Ukraine keeps Go_A also for 2021. When we compare semifinal and final performance, it is clear, that it gets better with every single performance. Solovey came out as a perfectly weighted piece with a good staging.

Josef Go_A have very interesting sound as the group mixes ethnic Ukrainian folklore with modern dance music. It would definitely have qualified to the grand final. The song sounds magical, mysterious and very moody. I like the mix of traditional, ethnic music and modern pop in Solovey. I hope that Go_A return with another great song next year.Įlvir Ukraine is one of my favourite countries in the contest and they didn’t disappointed me this year either. It would have been really interesting to see how the song would have fared in the televote. Sang like a Ukrainian folk song, the style of singing isn’t for everyone and would have really divided the public, as it did the Eurovision fans. Would have qualified.Īshleigh Solovey is a great song and was one of my favourites from this year’s contest. Also bonus points for being the first song entirely sung in Ukrainian language. Our team give their opinions on how this song would have fared, had the competition gone ahead.Īlvaro The ethnic/tribal sounds combined perfectly with the backdrop of Go_A’s performance at Vidbyr. Solovey (Nightingale) would have been the first song at the contest sung entirely in Ukrainian. This year’s selection show was held over two semi finals and one final with ethnic band Go_A being declared the winner after receiving top votes from televote as well as the juries. Ukraine were returning to the competition after a one year break following the controversy of last year where the country were forced to withdraw after the national selection Vidbir winner Maruv refused to comply with the broadcaster’s tough rules regarding touring in Russia. The group were due to represent their country with this ethnic inspired song “Solovey” (Nightingale). Go_A were selected to represent Ukraine at the Eurovision Song Contest after a clean sweep in the final, receiving the top votes of both the judges and the public televote.
