The Ukrainian national selection began this weekend, with eight of the 24 acts performing for only two spots in the final. Each heat will feature eight acts, and each heat will only have two qualifiers, meaning the final will be between six acts. The songs are judged by a jury consisting of Jamala, Andriy Danylko (aka Verka Serduchka) and Konstantin Meladze as well as with a televote. The vote is combined to decide which acts will qualify to the final, and which act will eventually go on to represent Ukraine on home ground.
Here are the 8 acts which performed last night:
-
SKAI – All My Love For You
-
Roman Veremeychik & Lumiere – Make it Real

Monochromea – Blue Bird
-
Laliko – Sugar Whisper
-
Salto Nazad – O, Mamo!
