The Ukraine has a new representative in female singer Alyosha. The national final turned into a tie between her and Masha Sobko, who had a song which was ineligable to EBU rules, according to ESCkaz. The jury favoured Alyosha with her pop/rock entry "To be free". Vasyl who sang his song "I love you", ended up 7th.
2010 has been a weird year for preselections and odd decisions by the national broadcasters, the Belarus is next in line to change their entry. A week ago it was already announced "Far away" would possibly not the final entry, but today it was confirmed by Naviny.by that the entry has indeed changed. Instead of poprock we'll see a ballad from Belarus, another one in line of a lot of other ballads this year.
The first presentation of the stage was found on Eurosong.hr. The stage sketch is pictured above, and more details became known about further presentation. The postcards preceeding the songs will feature the idea of the very first postcards in 1970. The postcards are to be recorded in capital cities together with the participating artist of the country. The 2nd part of the postcard will feature a typical looking family home representing the nation, and will be in a mobile phone sort of fashion to represent the slogan of the contest. "Share the moment" will be translated into the various national languages.
