Eduard Romanyuta - I want your love
This is a guy who attempted to represent the Ukraine on 3 separate occasions at Eurovision and failed to win their national selections each time. This year his country is not competing so what does one do in that situation? Obviously move to Moldova, get 200 SIM cards, pay off a chunk of the jury and buy your way to victory…. Allegedly…
There were a lot of discrepancies between the result from the semis to the final in Moldova, but apparently Eduard bragged about his vote rigging. This resulted in Sunstroke Project (who are most famous for giving us the Epic Sax Guy at the 2010 Eurovision), who finished third overall, storming out of the green room and all the acts who performed, including DoReDoS (who came second with the public) and Valeria Pașa (who won the Jury vote) boycotted the after party.
As for this song, it is like everything else that is churned out of the United States. I couldn’t believe he was only 22. He looks (and if the allegations are proven, also acts) like he is a lot younger, may be because I am old. Either way I wonder how he will rig the votes for all of Europe (and Australia) at Eurovision….
I am just sad because we could have had another Epic Sax guy meme
