Ukraine was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 7 May 2024 and was later selected to perform in position 5. At the end of the show, "Teresa & Maria" was announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and hence qualified to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Ukraine placed second out of the fifteen participating countries in the semi-final with 173 points. In the final, Ukraine performed in position 2 and placed third out of the 25 performing countries, scoring a total of 453 points.

Background

edit

Prior to the 2024 contest, the National Television Company of Ukraine (NTU) until 2016, and the Public Broadcasting Company of Ukraine (UA:PBC/Suspilne) since 2017, had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest representing Ukraine eighteen times since NTU's first entry in 2003, winning it the following year with the song "Wild Dances" by Ruslana. They won the contest for a second time in 2016 with "1944" by Jamala, and for a third time in 2022 with "Stefania" by Kalush Orchestra. They had been the runner-up in the contest on two occasions: in 2007 with "Dancing Lasha Tumbai" by Verka Serduchka and in 2008 with "Shady Lady" by Ani Lorak. Following the introduction of semi-finals for 2004, Ukraine was the only country that had managed to qualify to the final in every contest they have participated in thus far. Their least successful result was 24th place, which it achieved as host in 2017 with the song "Time" by O.Torvald. In 2023, Ukraine was represented by Tvorchi performing "Heart of Steel", which finished sixth in the final where the country was automatically qualified as the winner of the previous edition.[1]

As part of its duties as participating broadcaster, Suspilne organises the selection of its entry in the Eurovision Song Contest and broadcasts the event in the country. In the past, the Ukrainian broadcaster alternated between both internal selections and national finals in order to select its entries. Between 2016 and 2020, and again since 2022, Suspilne has set up national finals with several artists to choose the song and performer to compete at Eurovision, with both the public and a panel of jury members involved in the selection. On 7 July 2023, Suspilne confirmed its intention to take part in the 2024 contest.[2] A national final format was confirmed in late August as the selection method.[3] 1+1 Media Group was announced on 12 December 2023 as the production company for the national final.[4][5]

Vidbir 2024

edit

Vidbir 2024 was the eighth edition of Vidbir, the competition that determines the Ukrainian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest.[3][6] The competition consisted of a final held on 3 February 2024 at the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War in Kyiv.[7] It was hosted by Julia Sanina, Timur Miroshnychenko and Vasyl Baidak, with Anna Tulieva presenting the pre-show and backstage segments.[8] The show was broadcast on Suspilne Kultura and [[[Radio Promin]] [uk]] Error: {{Lang}}: Non-latn text (pos 91)/Latn script subtag mismatch (help), as well as on Suspilne's online platforms with English-language commentary by Viktoriia Kriukova and Denys Denysenko available.[9][10]

Format

edit

The selection of the competing entries for the national final took place over four stages. In the first stage, artists and songwriters could apply for the competition through an online submission form. For the second year in a row, Dmytro Shurov was the music producer of the event, who was in charge of reviewing the received submissions and select a longlist of 20 participants, announced on 9 November 2023.[3][6][11][12] In the second stage, longlisted artists – divided into two sets of ten – were assessed at two live auditions, with ten acts, announced on 17 November 2023, directly qualifying for the final.[6][13][14] The third stage consisted of a public online vote among the longlisted artists who did not pass the previous phase, determining the eleventh finalist, who was announced on 21 December 2023.[6][15] The eleven selected artists took part in a final on 3 February 2024,[6][16] where the winner was determined by a 50/50 combination of jury and public votes – the latter being cast through the Diia application.[9][17]

Competing entries

edit

The submission period for interested artists was open between 30 August and 22 October 2023. Each candidate could submit as many songs as they wished.[6] At the closing of the application window, 389 entries had been received from 288 performers, mainly in English and Ukrainian.[11] The selected finalists (marked in bold the table below) included Mélovin, who represented Ukraine in the 2018 contest;[12][14][18] their songs were set to be released on 12 January, but were released on the official Eurovision Ukraine channel the day before.[15][19] A presentation event hosted by Timur Miroshnychenko was held on 11 January 2024, where the competing songs were introduced and the running order of the final was drawn.[20]

Controversy
edit

Following the results announcement, Mélovin, who had come third with both the juries and the audience, expressed doubtfulness about the difference of over 600,000 public votes between the first and the second place, attributing it to a possible error in the vote count as a result of Diia's crash. He subsequently clarified that his statements were not intended to discredit the validity of Alyona Alyona and Jerry Heil's victory.[33]

Promotion

edit

As part of the promotion of their participation in the contest, Alyona Alyona and Jerry Heil attended the LRT Radarom marathon in Vilnius in late February 2024, held to raise funds for the Ukrainian military,[34] as well as the PrePartyES in Madrid on 30 March 2024 and the Eurovision in Concert event in Amsterdam on 13 April 2024.[35][36] In addition, they performed on the Dutch talkshow Sophie & Jeroen [nl], broadcast on NPO 1, on 12 April 2024.[37] Before departing for Malmö, the duo announced that it would team up with Ukrainian fundraising platform United24 to raise the 10 million necessary to rebuild a school in Velyka Kostromka [uk] in Kryvyi Rih Raion, which was destroyed by a Russian rocket in October 2022 amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and that in case of victory at the contest, the trophy would also be sold to collect funds.[38][39]

At Eurovision

The Eurovision Song Contest 2024 took place at the Malmö Arena in Malmö, Sweden, and consisted of two semi-finals held on the respective dates of 7 and 9 May and the final on 11 May 2024. All nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) were required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete in the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progressed to the final. On 30 January 2024, an allocation draw was held to determine which of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show, each country would perform in; the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot.[40] Ukraine was scheduled for the first half of the first semi-final.[41] The shows' producers then decided the running order for the semi-finals; Ukraine was set to perform in position 5.[42]

In Ukraine, all three shows were broadcast on Suspilne Kultura, with commentary by Timur Miroshnychenko (joined by Vasyl Baidak [uk] for the final), and on [[[Radio Promin]] [uk]] Error: {{Lang}}: Non-latn text (pos 91)/Latn script subtag mismatch (help), with commentary by Dmytro Zakharchenko and Lesia Antypenko[c] as well as Anna Zakletska reporting from Malmö.[49][50][51][52][53][54] The television broadcasts were also available on the broadcaster's online platforms and with optional interpretation in Ukrainian Sign Language by Tetiana Zhurkova, Inna Petrova, Iryna Skolotova, Yuliia Porplik, Anfisa Boldusieva and Lada Sokoliuk.[52] In addition, as part of the Eurovision programming, between 5 April and 3 May 2024, Radio Promin aired the special weekly broadcast Pobachennia z Yevrobachenniam, with Dmytro Zakharchenko, Lesia Antypenko, Anna Zakletska and Denys Denysenko discussing various aspects of the contest.[50]

Performance

edit

Alyona Alyona and Jerry Heil took part in technical rehearsals on 27 April and 1 May, followed by dress rehearsals on 6 and 7 May.[55] The staging of their performance of "Teresa & Maria" at the contest was directed by Tanu Muino and involved a rock-shaped prop which Jerry Heil climbed as the performance progressed.[56]

Semi-final

edit

Ukraine performed in position 5, following the entry from Ireland and before the entry from Poland.[42] At the end of the show, the country was announced as a qualifier for the final. It was later revealed that Ukraine placed second out of the fifteen participating countries in the first semi-final with 173 points.

Final

edit

Following the semi-final, Ukraine drew "producer's choice" for the final, meaning that the country will perform in the half decided by the contest's producers.[57] Ukraine performed in position 2, following the entry from Sweden and before the entry from Germany.[58] Jerry Heil and Alyona Alyona once again took part in dress rehearsals on 10 and 11 May before the final, including the jury final where the professional juries cast their final votes before the live show on 11 May. They performed a repeat of their semi-final performance during the final on 11 May. Ukraine placed third in the final, scoring 453 points; 307 points from the public televoting and 146 points from the juries.

Voting

edit

Below is a breakdown of points awarded by and to Ukraine in the first semi-final and in the final. Voting during the three shows involved each country awarding sets of points from 1-8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting in the final vote, while the semi-final vote was based entirely on the vote of the public.[59] In the first semi-final, Ukraine placed second with 173 points, receiving maximum twelve points from Cyprus, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal and the Rest of the World vote. In the final, Ukraine placed third with 453 points, receiving twelve points in the televote from Czechia, Estonia, Georgia, Lithuania, Malta, Moldova, and Poland, and in the jury vote from Czechia and Moldova. Over the course of the contest, Ukraine awarded its 12 points to Croatia in the first semi-final, and Switzerland in both the jury vote and televote in the final.[60][61]

The Ukrainian jury for the contest, like in Vidbir, was selected via a public online vote in the Diia application. Ten candidates were presented to the public and a voting was open to all Ukrainian citizens from 25 March to 1 April 2024, with the five candidates topping the online voting being selected to become jurors and the most voted becoming the chair.[62] A total of 235,572 votes were cast, with the Ukrainian jury ultimately consisting of Alyosha, who represented Ukraine in the 2010 contest, Iryna Horova, Olena Koliadenko, Maksim Nahorniak and Kostiantyn Tomilchenko.[63][64]

Suspilne appointed Jamala, who won the 2016 contest for Ukraine, as its spokesperson to announce the Ukrainian jury's votes in the final.[65]

Detailed voting results

edit

Each participating broadcaster assembles a five-member jury panel consisting of music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent. Each jury, and individual jury member, is required to meet a strict set of criteria regarding professional background, as well as diversity in gender and age. No member of a national jury was permitted to be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently.[67] The individual rankings of each jury member as well as the nation's televoting results were released shortly after the grand final.

The following members comprised the Ukrainian jury:[63]

Notes

edit
  1. ^ Belei withdrew from the competition before the online voting round was opened.[16]
  2. ^ Announced her intention to withdraw her candidacy on 4 February, due to issues regarding the tabulation of the votes following the failure of the Diia app during the final.[22] Suspilne later stated that she would remain a part of the contest as the rules prohibited a withdrawal at that stage, though she would have the option to refuse to go to Eurovision in case of her victory.[23]
  3. ^ The broadcasts of the semi-finals mostly featured TV commentary by Miroshnychenko. Only the second recaps (which Miroshnychenko left unnarrated on TV) and the results announcements were commentated on by Zakharchenko and Antypenko.[43][44][45][46][47][48]
  4. ^ Fiїnka [uk] received more votes than Maksim Nahorniak [uk], but she had to withdraw from the jury due to the EBU's gender equality requirements.[66]
  5. ^ The Netherlands was disqualified prior to the final.[68][69]
