Ukraine – The national final has just ended in Kiev and Gaitana has been chosen as the representative for Eurovision 2012 with “Be My Guest“. 21 acts fought it out, with voting split 50-50 between public and jury. Public voting was by SMS, with only one vote per phone. Anggun, France’s representative and SinPlus, Switzerland’s, both performed on the show.
Prior to the singing, Renata was well in the lead with SMS votes, but Gaitana eventually became the winner.
Here’s the winning entry:

Giani Morandi said ESC!!!!!!!!!!!
What did I tell you they will announce after Ell & Nikki! xD
Ooops I was wrong, they actually announced representative!
WOW, it is really Nina Zilli. Now I have 3 songs I love. Good night everyone. *rushing to the bathroom*
It’s Nina. Albania and Iceland are not alone anymore. There are 3 very good songs on offer.
Congratulations, Emma.
Good night.
Another 10/10 for me and YEEEEEES I like the same as Shevek and Toggie, that’s more important!!!
I only hope she will have better haircut in Baku!
It’s oldfashioned song and I’m afraid for results, but I LOVE it!!!
Hmm, Nina Zilli… Good Night!
oh, sweet Emma is crying – how touching…
well, I will listen to Nina Zilli again and then I’ll call it a night…
good night, guys… was nice staying up till now with you…
Tonight’s been a mixed night. For my personal taste, it’s been a good night in Italy and Croatia. Latvia’s is okay, and Ukraine is below-average but above atrocious.
So you like 2 Ninas!
Emma would win in Baku easily so maybe it’s better she doesn’t go!
lol
Good night!! FINALLY!
And Good morning Alex! xD
Awww…
I download this song, and after “Bye Bye”
Anggun said she wanted a big show, but I think Gaitana could take home the biggest show award
From tonight’s show, the Swiss song with fixed pronunciation and he even makes faces to make sure he says things correctly :p Go Sinplus!
Well, Luis, they performed their song live and I respect them for that. As for the pronounciation, it still has room to improve.
the best song on eurovision from all 14 chosen!!!

same top 3, same bottom 3 just different order… mmh… i guess that’s common sense kicking in again
Last year Armenia and Turkey stayed in semis, and now I think they want to show that all countries can stay in semis, this year examples will be Georgia (all songs in NF are bad) and Ukraine..but I really hope not Ukraine because Gaitana is THE BEST!
It’s better Greece to stay in semis once!
I don’t think Greece will stay in semi ..they have some great participants announced in their NF, like Kostas Martakis, Melisses, Eleftheria Eleftheriou, Constantinos Frantzis ..but let’s wait for the song first.
Hmmm maybe Romania then! You are always in the final!!
LOL
..I hope not, we have a good draw in the 1st semi. All countries that usually give pts to Romania are there, but let’s wait for the song first. 
Russia and Romania will stay next year, this year Greece and Georgia!! I simple don’t want Gaitana to be OUT!!! :@
i think u r kidding by calling shitty singer kostas martakis great, but i dont think greece can stay in the semis even they send a donkey to esc
I really like “Feel Me” in the Georgian NF. Hope that they can pull it off live. I am watching the show atm and so far everything has been average (Industrial City) to horrific (everything else).
“Feel me” is also my favorite!
And it was the only one that was decent live too. The sun has come out and I will go for a walk now. I hope that I will read “REMA to Baku” when I come back!
I just saw the recap, it indeed looked like the only one decent… let’s hope they send them, so far I like all 4 georgian songs, and 3 of them are in my top 10!
boy, Georgia is horrible… Industrial City or Rema would have been halfway decent at least, but this is just – I don’t know – awful is just too nice to describe it…
OMG ! Anri Jokhadze – I’m A Jocker is the winner in Georgia ! What a bad song …no Final for Georgia in Baku.
Georgia is quite lame!
But I LOVE Rambo Amadeus’s snippet!
I do like this, however it is a bit of an uncanny soundalike of David Guetta & Kelly Rowland’s “When Love Takes Over”.
I finally got to watch the full NF, I did not like it, a lot of below average songs, but not that many horrors, the top 2 were among the worst of the night though, incredibly bad results. Here was my ranking of the NF:
09 Masha Sazonova & Tihon Lyevchenko – I close to you
14 Andrey Bogomolets – Are you waiting for me
18 Nerealnye – Just a dream
17 Treeorange – New day
05 Edward Romanyuta – I’ll never let go
07 Igor Titarenko – You’re my life
19 Juliana Rudakova – Ti ne odin
12 Oksana Nesterenko – Mondo blu
15 Bondarchuk – I don’t know why
10 Marta – My heart is sorrowing
01 Olga Shanis – Dream
04 Olya Polyakova – Lepestok
16 Renata – Love in sunlight rays
13 Rapira – Get over
20 Marietta – Rainbow
11 Gaytana – Be my guest
03 Max Barskih – Dance
21 Lena Voloshina – Let it out
08 Mihaylo Hrytskan – Ya tak iskal tebya
06 Lëhkyy Flyrt – Mega Mix
02 Vitaly Halay – I want to love
Gaitana is great!!! She’s very positive energy, she is so shiny… I really like her!!! Go Ukraine;)
