Sorry guys, had a bit of a hectic week but this is now closed (bar Jahq editing his missing two scores if he sees this in time!), with results starting tomorrow. Thanks for all the submissions!

18. Oleksandr - Hasta la Vista (2003) 4.00

Highest score: 6 (goodelta, Shumzee)

Lowest score: 1 (Vulker, 152chris)

 

So Ukraine didn't exactly have an amazing debut at the contest, although it of course wouldn't take them long to find their feet. 'Hasta la Vista' is pretty much your average early 2000s Eurovision-by-numbers entry. It managed 14th at the contest, narrowly beating out the Britney rip off from Croatia and the 'Sex Bomb' ripoff from Bosnia & Herzegovina.

 

 

17. GreenJolly - Razom nas bahato (2005) 4.47

Highest score: 8 (Izzy)

Lowest score: 1 (MikeSugafan, JackJones)

 

A lot happened in Ukraine in the year of their first hosting in 2005. As such, their entry reflected the political landscape of the country at the time, being shoehorned in to the national selection at the final hour and beating out the competition after serving as somewhat of an anthem to the Orange Revolution. The song had to go under significant reworkings before the EBU allowed it to compete. An important and interesting entry for those who follow Eurovision's role in the politcial makeup of Europe, but perhaps less memorable for your casual viewer.

16. O.Torvald - Time (2017) 4.85

Highest score: 9 (Izzy)

Lowest score: 3 (NickF1, JackJones, Colm)

 

The Ukrainian host entry seems to have the not-so-successful formula of sending male rock bands, what will 2023 bring?

 

15. Mika Newton - Angel (2011) 5.6

Highest score: 10 (Alex!)

Lowest score: 3 (Vulker)

 

I don't think many Eurofans have 2011 has a vintage year for the contest, certainly it had very strange results, including the Ukrainian entry from Mika Newton which I think can be best described as 'meh'. Moldova would go on to try and replicate Angel's fluck success in 2019 but to a far less rewarding result, failing to qualify to the final.

Expected bottom two, couldn't find the motivation to go and remind myself of them :kink:

 

Shame that Mika Newton's entry was nowhere near as iconic as she ended up being in 2019.

14. Alyosha - Sweet People (2010) 5.9

Highest score: 10 (Alex!)

Lowest score: 3 (Vulker, LexC)

 

The lyrics of this song seems to have taken on a new meaning in the past few months, coupled with the video that was filmed in the eerie abandoned city of Pripyat. It's by no means a classic, but I do really like this entry. The Ukrainian selection in 2010 was one of the most chaotic of all time by the way, well worth a read on Wikipedia if you're not familiar.

 

13. Mélovin - Under The Ladder (2018) 6.25

Highest score: 8 (Alex!)

Lowest score: 3 (152chris)

 

It's been 4 years and I still don't think I know the actual lyrics to this.

would've been a better choice I feel.

12. Tina Karol - Show Me Your Love (2006) 6.85

Highest score: 11 (Nick F1)

Lowest score: 3 (152chris, Jahq, Colm)

 

Our first 11 score falls! 'Show Me Your Love' managed to finish 7th in both the semi final and the grand final, amazingly with just 1 point difference between the two.

 

11. Go_A - Solovey (2020) 6.9

Highest score: 10 (כן, Ansel)

Lowest score: 0 (Colm)

 

Go_A nearly manage to have two entries in the top 10, but their first attempt narrowly misses out. 'Solovey' was the only entry to receive a 0 score.

WHO. Who did this?! I know Shum is very loved in the fandom but I'll always prefer Solovey, for me it's much easier on the ears and the first loss of these results.

 

Show Me Your Love tries to be a bop but I find it a bit of a shouty mess.

 

Glad that Be My Guest has made the top 10!

Solovey 0 are ya having a laugh

Time and Angel far too low, very underrated entries.

 

Solovey missing the top 10 is unfortunate but it's a strong top 10, I'd only definitely hoping Shady Lady falls.

Solovey 0 are ya having a laugh

All great bands have h8erz

I really wasn't a fan of 'Solovey' at the time but it has since grown upon relisten. I definitely needed the experience of 'SHUM' to convert me to Go_A appreciation.
As you all can see - I gave it 0. As I've always said about Go_A, I totally respect their artistic choices. I just get very little out of their music.

Sorry guys but I'll have to pause results, I don't have my laptop with my spreadsheet on me and I'm isolating with covid, hopefully it won't be too long till I can resume.
