Ukraine: Act 3: Sweet people

Here it is, the third Ukrainian entry this year. After Vasyl Lazarevich's I love you , Alyosha's To be free here is Alyosha's Sweet people. And in my opinion they have been downhill all the time, each new entry worse than the other. Listen here . Let's see if this time it's for real....

Ukraine: Alyosha has 5 days

EBU has granted NTU 5 days to find a new song for Alyosha in the Ukrainian soap opera called "A song for Oslo 2010". By Friday 26 they must have a song, video and all the rest ready - and preferably one that fills the rules in its every sense. Well, it's not the first time a song has been changed but never this late I believe. This has most commonly happened in the past few years and usually in the Eastern parts of Europe. This year Belarus had a similar drama: first they had a selection already in December which was ment to give them the artists and song for Oslo 2010 but it was then changed midway. Then they chose the group 3+2 who just last week changed their already announced song to another. But back in 1983 Italy changed its song in the last minute, too. Sanremo winner Tiziana Rivale with Sará quel che sará was ment to go to Eurovision and was already shortlisted for the previews etc but then in the last minute Riccardo Fogli replaced her with Per Lucia .

ALYOSHA FOR UKRAINE

The ridiculous Ukrainian game has been completed and Alyosha with To be free is the winner. Annoying little number with a singer with a questionable fashion sense who is a challange in itself to listen and twatch. IIonly wish we would have been free from seeing this happen. I still stand with Vasyl. He came apparently 7th in this simil-final.

Ukrainian melodrama continues....

The new selection process is apparently going on in Ukraine. On Thursday anyone interested can go for a live hearing with a CD, photos and passport and 30 will be selected and their names and songs will be made public Thursday night. All Friday the selection process will go on several channels in Ukraine with a SMS voting to go with it, and then on Saturday the grand final ... Isn't it all a bit insane? Vasyl Lazarovich is not taking any of it claiming he has a video and promotour ready. He will also not take part in the new selection and intends to go to Eurovision 2010 in Oslo at any price. I'm with Vasyl in this! Let's see how all this ends...
