Ukraine decides…

African-Ukrainian singer Gaitana has beat out 20 other artists for the honour of representing Ukraine in Baku.
Her song Be My Guest will do double duty this year as it was written in honour of the UEFA Championship which will be held in Ukraine (and Poland, who won’t be in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest) in June and July.
Gaitana is considered a pioneer of Ukrainian R&B.
Judging by her national final performance, we can probably expect her to give a very big show in Baku.
