We begin to prepare for the main event of February in Ukraine.
National selection for "Eurovision 2020" has begun. There is already a complete list of artists, one of which will represent Ukraine at the competition. Among them are several famous names and many young artists:
1 Krut
2 fo sho
3 [O]
4 tvorchi
5 Katya Chilly
6 KHAYAT
7 assol
8 CLOUDLESS
9 GARNA
10 David Axelrod
11 Alexander Poryadinsky
12 GIO
13 Jerry Heil
14 Elina Ivashchenko
15 GO-A
MOONZOO feat. F.M.F. Sur
What can I say: Katya Chilly seems to be a favorite. The singer, unique not only for Ukraine, goes to everyone, as the Voice show showed, in which Katya reached the semifinals. The popularity of Jerry Heil should not be repeated, although viral hits are so viral that they can play her a minus.
We note the return of KHAYAT, which received great support from the audience in the national selection last year. Now the main thing is not to repeat the way of singer Tayanna.
Also on the list is Krut, which weaves the pandora into a modern sound and writes lyrics that one cannot resist. Fo Sho, as the original band of three African-American sisters, also has a chance of success. We are waiting for something special from the group [O], who recorded one of the best Ukrainian albums of 2019.
Semifinals will be held on February 8th and 15th, and the final on the 22nd. All stages of the contest will be broadcast on STB and UA: First channels, and you can also watch live numbers.
The list of jury members has also been updated. Veteran Andrey Danilko was joined by Tina Karol and Vitaliy Drozdov - general producer of TAVR Media radio holding No. 1 in Ukraine, general director of Hit FM.
Last year, MARUV, which won the national selection, was supposed to represent our country at the competition. But because of the high-profile complex conflict, she refused to participate. As a result, no one went to the contest from Ukraine.
In this regard, a rule was introduced this year - artists who have had at least one concert in Russia since 2014 were not allowed to participate in the national selection.
Eurovision 2020 will be held May 12-16 in the Netherlands. The country received the right to host the event after the victory of its representative Duncan Lawrence in 2019.
Last year, Ruslan Quinta, music producer of the national selection for Eurovision in Ukraine, told us about how the cuisine of the main music competitions of Ukraine is arranged.
