Everything below ESC quality demands. Devyatov would look quite lame, if you take away his group (there is a limitation of people on stage at the contest), the song isn't exactly what makes people mad, and he is deadly boring himself. Jennie is nice, but oh so amateurish and Glyuk'oza can't sing well. Russia needs people like Nyusha, Lazarev, Roma Kenga or at least a good singer like Savicheva or Sogdiana, all of them well known around and capable to represent Russia in a high format international competition, everything else is just waste of time and money.

I've read both Jamala's as well as Zlata's announcements on their homepages. Seems that nobody is interested in another competition. While Jamala openly accuses some people to make money out of a self-created scandal and doesn't want to have anything to do with those people, Zlata conveniently hurt her leg, so she can't perform until Ukraine has to announce their competitor to the EBU - ouch Zlata, I can feel your pain!

I heard of a petition of Jamala fans to Channel One. I don't think there are negotiations. Whatever, the only Ukrainians, who could save the honour of Russia, would be the "Singing Panties".
