Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Ukraine will have two semifinals (February 10 and 17) before the final and the line up features quite a few familiar names looking for a revenge: for example last year's runner up Tayanna and televoting winner and 3rd placed Melovin are in, as is 4th placed Illaria . Kadnay also tried last year but missed the final while Pur:Pur placed 4th two years ago.

After two semifinal where only six out of 18 songs qualified it's time for the final in Ukraine. There will be 50-50 televote-jury. I'm not even trying to guess who wins as I like in a way or other all these six. The Hardkiss seems to be the fan favorite, and for once I understand why. Jamala is awesome but is it a bit too rough an depressing? Brunettes and SunSay are something rather un-Euurovisionesque, so is Pur:Pur in a weird Kate Bushish way. And the we have the obligatory Made in Sweden product by NuAngels but these angels are so fierce and weird it's far from the usual Swedish bubblegum.... Tough choice, Ukrainians.
