of independent jury, which consisted of show business experts. Almost
the whole Ukraine watched the bright show, which was broadcast live at
the First National Channel.
There was a press conference with the representative of Ukraine at Eurovision 2012 right after the announcement of results.
"It was a miracle today and I can’t stop repeating that. I thank God
for everything. Despite all concerns of doctors, my producer and team I
decided to risk. I had problems with vocal ligaments. Only yesterday I
couldn’t talk and now I’m ready to hold the concert if I have to! I want
to thank the First National Channel for such a great sounding! The song
is wonderful and my heart was full of positive feelings, which I wished
to share with everyone. I believe that Europe should hear my song so
that people will be able to fall in love with our country. I wish Europe
welcomes Ukraine as a strong and independent European country”, - said
the Gaitana, the representative of Ukraine at Eurovision 2012.
"Gaitana is an incredibly talented artist, who has strong voice and her
song is very lively. I think after performance at Eurovision 2012 more
people will visit our country within Euro 2012! I hope that our
cooperation with Gaitana and her producer will be very effective. Next
week we’re going to start our preparations to Eurovision 2012”, - said
Walid Arfush, Vice President, NTU.
"We made everything possible so that the voting was completely honest:
it was allowed to vote 1 time from the 1 cell phone” and the process of
voting was online at the web site of the First National Channel. There
are already jury results and audience votes at the site. First Channel
made everything so that worthy candidate represents Ukraine at the
Eurovision Song Contest 2012. I believe that we, together with NTU and
Gaitana, will do everything to hold next Eurovision in Ukraine”, - said
