How much do you like the Ukrainian song? Tell us in comments!
Its certainly one of the hot favorites of this year’s EuroVision.
*1944* is one of the candidates to win the OGAE pre-contest voting.
It will definitely do great in the fan clubs voting.Definitely top10 place 4 Ukraine’s entry.
Currently its my 3rd or 4th most favorite song of the 33 songs.
If we had NOW the Ogae voting it would get 8 or 7 points by me. 🙂
