DRAW: Semi 2 (7)
The Ukraine did something unprecedented this year; they had almost no controversy regarding the selection of the song or artist to represent them. Almost as some political person decided to openly discuss dissatisfaction due to the lady's skin colour. The political party distanced themselves from the previously mentioned person.
I've listened to this song a lot and while it will make the final and make the top 10, it's not really wonderful song. The song is kind of bland and the beauty of it is in the singer. Gaitana has a lovely deep voice in comparison to some of the squeaky entrants this year. Her rendition of the song is great and makes it sound like an anthem. It is a song that will be used for the up coming European football Champions held in Poland and the Ukraine, so i guess it will be heard alot over the European summer.

Countries over the last decade - Last part
Only six more countries to reveal... and all but one have won the Eurovision Song contest. I'm sure you can guess.

ESC 2011 #31: UKRAINE - Angel - Mika Newton
[rating before - 38th; after - 28th]
The Ukraine have for the second year had a national final debacle. So this year's fun goes like this: they held a national final and they selected a winner - Mika. Two days later, jury members slammed the outcome, there are allegations of vote rigging and all sorts of other malachi and Mika wants to sing something else.
NTR decided to hold a Super final between Mika, and the ladies that came second and third. Jamala, the lady who was second, withdrew and then the lady who was third, Zlata Ognevich, did the same. So instead of having the Mika super final, they just named her the winner.
Let's look at the ESC performance and how I enjoy the song: sound muted. Sand woman - brilliant. Who ever thought of bringing her sand box to the ESC was inspired. Mika: screaming, young cutey Mika. Running about telling people they are Angel's and not having a clue what an angel is or where to find one. Blander than the static on the TV, which is why we have and are extremely grateful for the magnificent sand box woman. And it came fourth... insane.
