)Ukrainassa on valittu Irlannin You're A Star-formaatin mukainen valintamenettely ensi vuodelle. Kuulemma maasta löytyy runsaasti lahjakkaita nuoria esiintyjiä, mutta harvoja lauluntekijöitä, joten tällä formaatilla odotetaan parasta tulosta.
Alueellisten koelaulujen jälkeen kuudelta maan eri alueelta valitaan kaksi finalistia kustakin. 12 finalistia tuodaan sitten Kiovaan treenattavaksi ennen televisioituja finaaleja. Viimeisessä showssa kolme finalistia esittää erityisesti Euroviisuihin tilattuja kappaleita, joista yleisö äänestää suosikkinsa.
You're A Star on aika lailla Idolsin kaltainen formaatti, jonka Irlanti itse on päättänyt tiputtaa Euroviisun valitsemisessa kahden vuoden jälkeen.
As usual the latest news from CIS countries presented by http://www.esckaz.com
Ukraine has become the first CIS country to announce details of National
presеlection for Eurovision Song Contest 2006. The scheme of preselection is adopted from Irish national preselection - show "You're A Star" as this selection method was considered as the best after management of NTCU has studied experience of different European countries. Meanwhile, in Ireland since 2006 this format will be cancelled, as results of the winners of this show at main Eurovision contest were not very high.
The reason of the format change is that last year it appeared that there are number of talented young performers, but not so much of talented composers who are able to write hit song.
Alyona Mozgovaya, chief musical manager of the Ukrainian National Broadcaster describes the new selection strategy:
First part of preselection will be regional casting, which will be run in 6
Ukrainian regions that we preliminary titled - East, West, South, North,
Center and Kiev city. Jury with cameramen arrives to the region. There will be selected central city where casting will take place and epresentatives of this region will be collected there and listened to by jury members (approximately there will be 5 members of jury). 2 representatives from each region will be selected as finalists.
Then 12 finalists are gathered in Kiev and start working with well known
composers, stylists, designers, who will try to determine the best style of
music fitting the performers and create an image for them. The main televized part will of 52 minutes long TV shows, run weekly on Saturdays. First show will describe the preparation round (image creation, rehearsals). Next week - there will be live broadcast - contestants will
perform live famous world and/or national hits. The voting will be divided
on 50/50 basis between Jury and Televoting. After the voting round 3 lowest placed contestants will leave the show. 9 singers will be left. Next week show again will describe preparation round, and week after that will feature 6 artists performing live. In the final - there will be 3 finalists who will perform songs specially written for that occasion and during the final
broadcast winner and his song will be selected.
The exact dates for the show are yet unknown, it is supposed that first part with regional casting will start in the middle of November, and now the new preselection scheme will be announced on TV and mass media and regional performers will be invited for the casting.
Budget of the show is preliminary determined of 2 million grivnas. However the time limits and financial problems may prevent this format of being realized, the final approvement should be given by the new head of NTCU Mr.Dokalenko
Aika yllättävää, että Why on kelvannut Vladimirille.
