Omg It’s not the first time that i have been totally shocked with the winner. Ukraine was in my low 30’s in rating.
A song sung half in Ukranian and English about war time back in 1944. But i must admit i do like the music to the song and i like when Jamala dones them high notes. Watching her live closing the 2016 eurovision she gave me goose bumps.
Ever since Jamala entered the Ukrainian national selection with “Smile,” I’ve been a fan. What she can do with her voice is downright amazing. I was really happy to have Ukraine back in 2016 and even more so with Jamala. This song is so incredibly powerful, it simply cannot be ignored. While I highly doubt we’ll ever be dancing to genocide at the Euroclub, Jamala did one thing that no one else did: moved me with her voice. Her wailing at that one part sent chills up my spine. It’s like I felt her grief. Simply outstanding. Was this my favorite song of the year? No, but I do think her win sent a number of messages. Well done, Jamala!
Like a number of songs this year, Ukraine was not one I warmed to initially but it didn’t take long to catch on and I loved her performance although given the language barrier the actual meaning of the song was not apparent until I’d looked it up later. She was a very worthy winner.
