Today's edition. "Site" He wants to talk about the success of Ukrainians at Eurovision and why Manizha took only 9th place. Great job!



GettyImages Song "Noise" at the Eurovision Song Contest On the night of 22 to 23 May in Rotterdam (Netherlands) the final of the international song was held Eurovision Song Contest - 2021. Representatives of 26 countries spoke at the grand final, including 10 winners of the first semi-final, 10 winners of the second semi-final and 5 representatives of the Big Five countries (Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain and France). And also the representative of the host country of the competition - the Netherlands.

First place was taken by the Italian band Måneskin with 524 points from the jury and the audience. And the second and secured the victory of the Italian rockers. Members of the group are children of the XXI century. Do not swim with the flow, do not be afraid to break the established foundations, do not be quiet and good-natured - this was sang by rockers with Eurovision.



In addition to the finalists, many music experts and viewers appreciated the performance of the Ukrainian Go_A, which at the end of the final took the 5th place, although the audience's sympathy - the second. The video from the performance of this group has collected about 6.5 million views on the official YouTube channel “Eurovision”.

The performance and song "Noise" audience in Rotterdam was very warmly welcomed. Noise harmoniously combines the text of the Ukrainian folk spring with the electronic dance rhythm.



GettyImages What is it? Ukrainian Song MagicWho has conquered Ukrainians and music lovers around the world? The answer to this question should be sought from folklorists.

Scientists say that this song is so old that its meaning is not fully clear not only to foreigners, but also to many modern Ukrainians. Noise is a forest in which the ancient ancestors of Ukrainians came to call spring with the help of songs and dances.

“In some dialects, this word for the forest is still preserved,” says a researcher at the Shevchenko University Institute of Philology.

This song is archaic and belongs to the oldest pre-Christian layer of Ukrainian culture. Songs with ethnomotifs are quite deep in their sound and perception, since they affect not only the consciousness, but also the subconscious of a person.

Ethnic songs harmonize a person and give vital energy. The performance of such songs renews the connection with the native land. Foreign ethnic songs, the text of which we do not understand, affect us at the level of rhythmic melody, at the level of deeper meanings!

By the way, Ukraine is the only country in the history of Eurovision, which has always taken place in the final of the competition since the introduction of the semifinals.

Maniji's speech Now about Maniji's performance. It was clearly bright, strong and unusual. Manizha claims that her song "Russian Woman" (part of which is in Russian) is about a Russian woman's sense of self, which has changed from peasant huts to space flights.



GettyImages: Manizha broke the stereotypes we were afraid to talk about! With her song, speech, manifesto, if you will, she raised not only the issue of equality of men and women, but also revealed the internal problems of Russians: stereotypes about the position and duties of women, the toxicity of society, the unwillingness to accept something new and modern.

Manizha returned home already popular, because both the song and the number are about what only we understand in Russia. She didn’t go to Europe to be heard. The girl went there to see and hear her here. Manizha in its own way won! — say music critics and viewers.



GettyImages "Manigi's song is quite complex both in text (a mixture of Russian and English), and in performance (a mixture of rap and folklore). It sounds bright, but can hardly fall in love with the viewer the first time. It was too intellectual antics. Very conceptually thought out. But for such a folk contest, it probably needs to be simpler! critics say.

In any case, to enter the top ten is already beautiful. Maniga is quite a bright person in itself, energetic and, importantly, charismatic. She expressed her opinion quite openly, but it was delicate and very sincere, in my opinion. I'm always for sincerity.
