Your opinion
A poll will be launched after all songs have been performed.
LIVE
The show has started with a short introduction of Vasyl Lazarovich.
The voting has already started.
1. Adrenalin
The first song in the running is an up-tempo electronic pop song performed in Ukrainian. The visual highlight of this performance is a throne the singer is sitting on at the beginning, which later turns out to be acutally his backing performers hiding under a large piece of fabric. The song is catchy but it might be a bit too simple to attract many voters in the Eurovision Song Contest, even with a more complex performance. However, this kind of music seems to suit the voice of the singer very well.
2. Shine of your star
The singer changed quickly and now appears on stage in a grey suit. The second song is an operatic ballad and the performance is very dramatic. Although Vasyl Lazarovich makes technically no faults, this kind of music seems to suit him less than the first song tonight as the overall expression is rather sythetic and dramatic in an over-the-top kind of way. The English words can hardly be understood, which raises the question if a song performed in the national language would be the better choice for Oslo.
3. I know
The second ballad tonight, but this one creates a jazzy atmosphere despite the classical strings arrangement. The singer seems to be more comfortable with this rather relaxed song than with the very dramatic Shine of our star. The saxophone during the bridge part reminds of some popular ballads from the 1980s and although this song could not be called modern, it might be an option if Ukraine decides to send its first Eurovision ballad ever to Oslo.
4. Don't wanna lose you
The official spelling of this entry is "Don't wanna loose you", but suppose that it is an accidental mistake rather than a stylistic device. The singer is acting like a rock star now, but after the first three perofrmances it is hard to buy it. Not a very authentic effort - both the song and the performance.
5. I love you
How long did it take to come up with this song title? We don't know, but we can say that the song keeps what its title promises. This is a very classic - not to say bland - ballad with repetitive lyrics. It is hard to believe that this one would touch the hearts of many people.

ARDENALIN should have won for sure, that song has some tension. The rest is very bad and boring, the winning song is horrible and forsure a serious candidate fot bottom 5 in semi's.
more ballads .... pass the sick bucket !!
Oh my soooooooooooooooooo boring. MALTA is much much much much much much much much much better than this crap!!!!!!!!
boring boring boring
Jonathan Hendrickx
Thank you!
after 4 consecutive years of being in my top6, it's not hard to predict that this trend is going to stop in 2010. Awful and boring.... Will this be the first time Ukraine misses a final? if there is any justice in ESC, I seriously hope so.
horrible bland cliche. the glorious years of Ukrainian entries are over. This is going nowhere. In case it qualifies which is possible due to USSR countries, it will be in bottom 5 in the final. guarantee. Ukraine better save their money.
I'm dissapointed.. dull songs.. imho, he not goin to make it to the final.
Good Luck to Vasyl Lazarovich.
BORING SONG
to me better is Poland song:

Good luck Ukraine with I LOVE YOU by Vasyl Lazarovich 
It's a nice song, it might qualify but it is probably Ukraine's weakest song for a while. I don't think he'd go top 10 in the final.. hmm.. I'm not sure. The staging of this song will make or break this entry.
Rating: 7/10
Not my favourite entry selected, not the worst
Hey this is not that bad!
Piano is GREAT and he doesn't sing whole song in English!
Kohayu tebe = I love you! 
His voice is quite good!
Im not sure Ukraine won't qualify this year as many ppl think, but we really have many songs like this for Oslo!
And this is 100000000000000000X better than Svetlana Loboda! 
Good luck, and he doesn't look like mafia in this entry!
Damned. This result is another major letdown. 
Huh? I'm confused. The "bland" song that "won't touch the hearts of many people" won?
vasil lazarovich wasn't live too
Ukrania went for the lovely piano. Please sing the whole thing in your native language. Good luck!
zanic
No!noone was singing live...
They chose the most boring song!Bye-bye ukraine!
they agreed with me it was the best song for sure... but it wont do very well.
they weren't live...Especially Safura
Safura was live during the verses..
also she sung along with playback during the chourus..
I'm not George, I'm not Brad, but I know I'm just as bad
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOFL !!
Togravus Ceterum
They are all great, like really they are, it's certainly my favourite NF this year, and I watch it on my TV downstairs, and it's really helped my german too So it's all good, Lena is by far my favourite, but I love Christian too, and Kerstin is just so fragile and beautiful too, I love like the Marit Larseness about her and Jennifer is great too, she was really good last night It's a shame they all can't be in the final
Miro LOVE U
@zanic
they weren't live...Especially Safura
Woah, All the guests live or not were Super
Georgia was live but not the very end. she had help from pre-recorded vocals, Safura was the same, live but the high notes were pre recorded. Miro was all playback and so was Eva.
Based on performences I think;
1) Safura - wonderfull please Sing "Drip Drop" in ESC 
2) Sopho - great performence
3) Miro - He also needs to sing live and lose the glasses
4) Eva - She needs to work on live singing
Marky
I hope for either Lena or Kerstin. The others are good too, but I think that those two would stick out ... Well, Kerstin even both vocally and physically.
dear lord hes terrible ugly voice and english so bad that my ears bleed
Eva Rivas
