Jamalа expressed her disappointment with MELOVIN for refusing to participate in the national selection for Eurovision.

According to ТСН: Ukrainian singer and producer of the National Selection for 'Eurovision-2026' Jamalа expressed her dissatisfaction with the performer MELOVIN.

Misunderstanding surrounding the national selection

Misunderstandings arose between them during the national selection. The artist applied for the competition and even made it to the longlist. MELOVIN recounted how Jamalа called him to congratulate him on this success. However, the singer noted that he refused to participate because he wants to give young artists a chance.

Jamalа's version

On the program 'Morning in the Big City,' Jamalа presented her version of the events. The artist confirmed that she called MELOVIN, but he declined, citing a supposed concert. The producer of the national selection could not contain her emotions and admitted that she was upset by the singer's reaction.

“I wrote to him that I was offended by him. I really called him, I really chose him, but he said that he had some concert or something... This is not a story that you can treat like this! 500 applications, and you take the last minute and say, sorry, I have a concert.”

Finalists of the national selection

Let us remind you that the names of the nine finalists of the national selection for 'Eurovision-2026' were announced recently. The last participant will be chosen through voting in 'Diia.'

This situation between Jamalа and MELOVIN has become a striking example of the emotions that accompany creative competitions. As we can see, not only the contestants care about their place, but also the producers and jury members invest a lot of effort and emotion into selecting the best. We await further developments in the national selection, which promises to be no less intriguing.
