Ukraine is having it's first semifinal tonight. Only three songs will make the final. Among the artists Anastasiya Pryhodko who sung for Russia in Moscow 2009 (and has apparently since turned into very anti-Russian) and jamala trying again. Not surprisingly many songs deal with more or less openly with war and Russia I suppose. Eurovision 2004 winner Ruslana, Eurovision 2007 runner up Verka Serduchka or rather her alter ego Andriy Danilko and composer-producer Konstantin Meladze form a jury that counts 50%, the other being televote.
Jamala - 1944 (Jury 9+televote 9 = 18)
The Hardkiss - Helpless (Jury 7+televote 8=15)
Brunettes Shoot Blondes - Every Monday (Jury 8+televote 5=13)
Svetlana Tarabarova - Ніколи знову Never again (Jury 6+televote 6=12)
Vladislav Kurasov - I'm insane (Jury 3+televote 4=7)
Aida Nikolaichuk - Inner power (Jury 2+televote 7=9)
Lavika - Hold me (jury 1+televote 1=2)
Anastasiya Pryhodko - I am free now (jury 4+televote 3=7)
Tonya Matviyenko - Tin whistle (Jury 5+televote 2=7)
