History...
Debut: 2003
Previous Appearances: 10
Wins: 1 (2004 – Ruslana 'Wild Dancers')
2013...
Artist: Zlata Ognevich
Song: Gravity
A couple years ago songs started showing up in Eurovision that sounded more like they should be the theme music for a fantasy TV series. This is not a good thing. In this song it was maybe good for the first verse, but not everything after.
Lyrically this is a little bit 'what tha...', but then you get that a lot from the Ukraine. A highlight this year is 'I’m like a butterfly, Spinning ‘round a sword as if to dare, I should have stayed up high'. I am sure it is something really meaningful when translated to Ukrainian, but in english... what tha?
What offends me the most is the little princess singing it. I am over the middle class social climbers who think they are talented enough and deserve to be famous singers. You are no more talented than a Kardashian, I'm sorry.
There is a slight link between this years song and the entry from 2006, both singers performed for the military at the time of their entry. I wonder what the response was from the men in the military when they were asked to 'Show me Your Love'
