Ziferblat Stuns Eurovision 2025 Selection with Enchanting Performance
The national selection for Eurovision 2025 witnessed a mesmerizing spectacle as the band Ziferblat took to the stage with their enchanting performance of "Bird of Pray."

A Magical Transformation on Stage
The band transported the audience into a fairy tale realm, transforming the stage into a vibrant meadow adorned with flowers. While the elaborate set design was a visual feast, it was the vocal prowess of the lead singer that truly commanded attention.
Praise and Constructive Criticism
The selection jury was quick to shower Ziferblat with praise. The band, now making their third appearance in the national selection, impressed the judges yet again. Kateryna Pavlenko lauded the performance as "perfect, " although room for growth was also highlighted. Sergiy Tanchynets drew a parallel between the lead singer and the legendary Freddie Mercury, noting:
"A wonderful song, performance, beautiful decorations, arrangements, musicians, outfits. Everything is so cool. But we need more of you! You need to fill that space. You're a bit like Freddie Mercury. You have a similar presence, high vocals. But you need to fill it like he did. I mean, it should be you — Ziferblat — and no one else. That's what I missed a bit. But overall, you are the new breath of Ukrainian rock 'n' roll."
The Journey Ahead for Ziferblat
As the national selection continues, the anticipation builds to see if Ziferblat will secure their place to represent Ukraine at Eurovision 2025. With their charismatic stage presence and powerful message, they have set a high bar for themselves and their competitors. Whether they will carry this momentum forward remains to be seen, but one thing is certain — Ziferblat has left an indelible mark on the hearts of those who witnessed their performance.
