What a voice, what a singer!… 🎉
Wonderful Gaitana! 🇺🇦
how does Eurovision make everything so smooth?
One of the best entries from Ukraine ever! Such a banger 💃 it always makes me happy
The real Diva ✨
Is there a reason they uploaded this as a new video rather than upgrading the old video? They did that for the other performances like Loreen and Alexander Rybak.
❤❤❤
Ukraine placed eighth in the semi-final, receiving a total of 64 points. Ukraine placed fifteenth in the final, scoring 65 points.
The Ukrainian performance featured Gaitana performing on stage in a long white layered fringe dress designed by Liliia Litkovska together with four dancers in colourful vests and skirts and playing trumpets.
The performance began with Gaitana walking through two of four moveable LED panels featured in the middle of the stage that slid open.
Dancing people appeared on the panels, while splashes of different coloured paints appeared on the background LED screens.
The stage director and choreographer for the Ukrainian performance was Olha Semeshkina.
Given Ukraine's success in Eurovision since they joined, I struggle to see why this one didn't do better
World Cup-vision Song Contest? 🤔
One of the few cases where a song actually benefited from not having backing vocals on tape 🥰🥰
Such an underrated enjoy, Gaitana is such a queen
Underrated song!
One of the most festive performances by Ukraine
8:17 ага,не збирається вона заявку подавати😂😂😂
9:05 так і хто забороняє Поляковій брати участь у культурі держави?ніби досі концерти дає,все окей 😂
Питання в мене наступне,хто заважав Поляковій брати участь у нацвідборі ДО 2019-го? як це зробила Джамала яку вона навела у приклад
Також Полякова і Ясинський були категорично проти нацвідбору,а точніше коштів виділених на нього,а якби брала участь Полякова то можна було б?😁
А тепер прошу до уваги всіх "борців за справедливість"
1)Чи могли брати участь у нац.відборі 2003-2019?
•Джамала–Так
•Полякова–Так
2)Чи брали участь у нацвідборі 2003-2019 більше ніж один раз бо щиро хотіли представити Україну і в них це вийшло?
•Джамала–Так
•Полякова–Ні
3)Чи можуть брати участь у нацвідборі (УВАГА) 2019-2026
•Джамала–НІ
•Полякова–Ні
4)Чи розводять з цього срач і дискримінацію?
•Джамала-Ні (хтось скаже що вона здобула свою славу,але це не означає що вона не хотіла би ще раз себе спробувати)
•Будь який інший артист який підпадає під це правило(Крім Солохи)–Ні.
•Полякова–Так
19:27 інтерв'ю з Іллею було неймовірно цікавим
This underrated queen. Still one of my favorite songs and performances from Ukraine… you know what, all of Eurovision. What a timeless bop.
Hello from baku❤
Було сильно! І дуже дивний результат. Такий сильний вокал! Запальна пісня!
Please remaster Finland 2014 too
Дуже недооцінений виступ❤
Amazing as Always ❤
For some reason Eurovision reaaaaaalllyyy loves this song. It's deserved though. It's cool
Gaitana is our legend ❤
UKRAINE IS UNITED COUNTRY!!! SLAVA UKRAINI! POBEDA UKRAINI!
Shouldn't have qualified
It's like a mixture between "I need you now" by Agnes and "When Love takes over" by Kelly Rowland.
One of my favourite songs, great to see it remastered in higher detail! 😍😍
2012 🇦🇿 What a year 🔥 almost all songs were great
Happy Special Euro 2012!!! 🇵🇱🇺🇦⚽🏆🥳
its so good to see be my guest but I believe better would be eurovision 2014 remasters
Pure vocal acrobatics. 💖💖💖
I am still surprised that this song was ranked higher by juries in the semi and the final than tele
В начале 2025 когда я только начал погружаться в "Евровидение" это была моя любимейшая песня и до сих пор остается одной из. Такая энергия и накал исходит от этого выступления, обожаю! 🇺🇦 🤝 🇷🇺
Great throwback! ❤ We love our Gaitana 🫶❤🇺🇦 Grew up listening to her music, her best songs are in Ukrainian ❤
