Vocal Coach Reacts to Alyona Alyona & Jerry Heil 'Teresa & Maria' Ukraine Eurovision 2024

[@addivf2911]

They did have some technical issues during this performance, so you should definitely listen to the studio cut to get the full experience of the song. This one is one of my absolute favourites

[@aekelly]

I think this is my absolute favorite so far! 💕

[@KathrynSrce3719]

Didn’t they also have technical issues with the voting app that they had to give people an extra day to be able to vote for their favourite to win the national final this year? There were a lot of technical issues this time around. So this entry definitely sounds more like it was suffering from these technical issues rather than it being poorly mixed.

[@TystaTankar]

Yes, it’s one of the favorites due to politicans as usual. I do not like the song, it’s not deserved to be in top 5. Maybe 20.

[@Kvitochka65632]

​@@KathrynSrce3719 they, they're the best this year. As a Ukrainian, I confirm this

[@Peppers_Meatloaf]

@@TystaTankaryou sound stupid, ignorant, and stupid in case you didn’t read it the first time.

[@annVKh]

There are many spare seats because of security reasons. They had to pre-record it, and people were invited personally. No one was allowed to buy tickets. Guests all signed a kind of NDA so that no one who is not invited knew where and when the show was pre-recorded. All these security measures were taken because it is not safe to have live events in Ukraine. Any minute Russia can launch a massive attack with shelling and Iranian drones. But they pre-recorded everything as if it was live -- in one take. If the air raid alarm happened, everyone stopped recording and went to the shelter. Last year they organized Vidbir at the underground metro station. You can even hear when the trains are passing.

[@RodyTheRoad]

Thank you for this context! I'm surprised and yet delighted that Ukraine can still pull off live events during war time at all

[@irenedavies144]

Wow!

[@jodygrottino8257]

I've watched Vidbir on YT, both this year and last year. It was an amazing show, even in those conditions: last year I remember forgetting the fact that it was filmed in a subway station (only being sometimes reminded by the trains). It's amazing how you keep it up against everything, Ukrainians really are unbreakable. 💪 Дякую за музику навіть у цей час, слава Україні!!! 🇺🇦❤️🇮🇹

[@idylla5972]

That is obvious! That's so weird that she made a comment about that. Like come on there's a war going on in Ukraine right now. I felt weird when she commented on that. Hope she didn't mean to be sarcastic or something

[@guzuva]

@@idylla5972In UK bigger deal is war in Israel

[@MariaLauraBellinazzo]

I praise Ukraine for the offer of fantastic music notwithstanding the horrific situation the find themselves in. Remember, we owe Ukraine the staging of a whole show, when the brutal aggression will end I hope ukraine will have the chance to host the show. Go Ukraine

[@ju3054]

Exactly. They do the amazing music in subways! How that can be judged?

[@ivangriniov350]

From Ukraine I will say, staging will be amazing❤

[@royckyy]

The sound mix is a bit messed up because this was held on a train station because of the war, but they still managed to sound good

[@uqpamuuunet]

This wasn't a train station. The location is kept secret.

[@masha22092000r]

​@@uqpamuuunet this IS a train station. Those who have been to Kyiv can even tell which one.

[@anthebelle]

This wasn't a train station) But there definitely were some issues with the sound mixing, the people who were present during the performance said that the vocals were perfect

[@vyrobnyk6362]

It was museum under Ukraine-mother statue

[@alfredlau4034]

They host Vidbir last year in a train station but this year not.

[@Marabarra94]

not very good. not catchy. outdated. singing is off at times. please do not let this win because Ukrain is in a war. that's not fair towards the other performers

[@oiko2k4]

@@Marabarra94 I like it beyond those technicalities. It is in my top 3, regardless of country of origin. Your 3 first arguments are just personal opinions. The only fair one was about the sound. Generally Ukraine sends powerfull songs, so I don't get your point. Also people vote based on their feelings. If there is a war, there are even more feelings, but only a few people would vote giving their own money for a bad song.

[@aekelly]

​@@Marabarra94 they had technical problems. Watch *any* other performance - they're fabulous!

[@TinaVegan]

I love listening to this song. it's about how all the saints (Teresa, Maria) were born as humans on this earth. The song also talks about "divas" in a positive way, as in people who have come far in their personal development.

[@mattspintosmith5285]

I think your comment is very accurate, Tina. Do you know Jerry Heil's song called "Vegan" - a previous attempt to appear at Eurovision? Such a different song. Incredibly funny but supportive of the vegan point of view!

[@Ilikegoodham]

Hey! I think you should watch their first performance, they sang better due to the technical issues with this performance (Jerry's earpiece playing a different track, the backing vocals being louder than them)

[@aekelly]

Yes, Georgina if you have time check out the other one - this is my favorite so far!

[@uqpamuuunet]

Thanks for the honest reaction. It’s what I wanted.

[@konex97]

Exactly, not just praising them just because they are from Ukraine.

Не соромся, земляче. Увімкни автоматичний переклад, і ти зрозумієш, що ця пані не підтримує ні Україну, ні наших дівчат. А пісня її взагалі не цікавить, бо вона коуч з вокалу.

[@TWanderStar]

Тю, а до чого тут, підтримує вона Україну чи ні? Так, Джорджина - викладач вокалу і тут висловлює своє ставлення до пісні як такої і до її виконання. І що вона каже? Що пісня класна, а виконання має бути кращим. То в чому вона помиляється? Дівчата - молодці, авжеж, і я щиро радію, що саме вони перемогли в фіналі. Але ж, проблеми зі звуком були, то Джорджина про це й говорить. Ну не знає вона, що запис проходив в бомбосховищі, і що з того? Може вона і не знає, що в нас війна вже майже два роки йде. Ну не цікавиться людина тим, що відбувається в світі, і що? Чи є це образливим для нас як українців або дівчат як виконавців? Ні! Я чекала саме на реакцію Джорджини. На відміну від багатьох інших коментарів, вона дійсно дає професійний аналіз виступу виконавців. А дівчата наші - справжні зірки, і засяють в Мальмо так, що нікого поруч і не видно буде. Щиро бажаю перемоги і пишаюся нашою музикою ❤️

[@paphnutiy]

You didn't even listen to the full song, only chunks. There is so much happening in each bar/measure. It's impossible to hear the song properly and make a sound judgement.

[@ace_reject]

She’s said many times that she cannot show the full clip for copyright issues. Doesn’t mean she hasn’t listened to it!

[@olexandrkuzmenko1438]

Good reaction. Thx ☺️

[@lilleke80]

Very hard for people to express honest opinions about this song, there's always going to be politics, it's a song contest though.. Nowhere near the quality of Ukrainian winning song, still number one with the bookies. It's a good one but nothing special personally, not my cup of tea.

[@miliar1234]

Haven't watched your video for a few months, you look healthier than before.

[@esme6346]

OOoooh, a touch of Stephania with the rap. Super staging. OK, live issues here, not surprised. I loved The Kulash Orchestra not because of the war support voting, it was my winner anyway. This will be an earworm I bet. Top 10

[@MichelleSt4820]

When I heard the name Jerry Heil for the first time, I was of course thinking that I'm going to hear the voice of a man, because Jerry is actually a name for a man and extremely rare as a woman's name. I recently found out that she possibly had two sources of inspiration that made her choose this stage name: "Jerry" comes from Tom and Jerry, and Heil was the name that she found on a website with American surnames. By the way, it is pronounced like the name Hale.

[@Ivan60179]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@shimasachu9257]

Of course we support Ukraine in their situation but we have to be fair to everyone and separate sympathy to the Ukraine people and the song contest and judge their performances according to how they presented themselves and not because of the War in their country ,it's unfair to everyone who are preparing themselves for the contest for sometime ,or else just send the trophy to Ukraine and everybody will just stay home.

[@ien_nesto]

This is so mean. You’re saying so as we want to be pitied, don’t let others present themselves, etc. As if the trophy in the song context is the most important thing in life. Be sure, that no one wants to steal someone’s victory. And I guess we will see all the artists from Europe on the grand stage in May, their skills and just enjoy their performances.

[@marynamyronyuk8354]

Why didn't Ukraine win last year then? Not even Top 5? No sympathy to the Ukrainian people?

It is difficult to be born human, it is even more difficult to remain human. The author of this channel never became a person. You can become a vocal coach, but not a person. Julius Fucek, the author of the book "Reporting with a noose around the neck", translated into 82 languages ​​of the world, wrote: "Do not be afraid of a friend - in the worst case he will betray you. Do not be afraid of the enemy - in the worst case he will kill you. Fear the indifferent. They do not betray and do not kill, but with their silent consent all betrayals and murders on earth are committed."

[@lilleke80]

My god what an awful comment! The political struggles have nothing to do with anyone commenting about a song in Eurovision! Eurovision is a song contest, not a Ukraine support program! Really unfair! Your comment should be removed! Bullying! You should really check yourself as a person, that's not OK at all!

[@TWanderStar]

Totally disagree! Georgina expresses her opinion on the song and on the performance. She is not obliged to praise something she doesn’t really like. Most likely, Georgina has no idea that the recording took place in the bomb shelter hence there were problems with sound and spare seats she mentions. Maybe, she is not even aware of the fact that Ukraine has been fighting for its right to exist for almost two years. And what? It doesn’t make Georgina less human. Eurovision is not about politics. It’s about music. I do like the song and believe that in Malmo the girls will show the best performance. It doesn’t mean, though, that people who don’t like it don’t have any heart. Not a nice comment, sorry
