The Ukrainian Eurovision Song Contest national selection show Vidbir certainly hasn’t disappointed anyone who likes their television batshit crazy.
NTU and STB certainly found twelve very different slices of life from all over Ukraine for the final staged at the Kiev Palace of Culture.
The final was, predictably, mental with rock and veganism, ballads and aquaman all thrown together in a massive melting pot. The result (a 50/50 televote and jury) worked out like this:
| Country | 2nd rehearsal (20 min) | Press conference (20 min) |
|---|---|---|
| Georgia | 10:00 – 10:20 | 11:15 – 11:35 |
| Albania | 10:25 – 10:45 | 11:40 – 12:00 |
| Portugal | 10:50 – 11:10 | 12:05 – 12:25 |
| Bulgaria | 11:15 – 11:35 | 12:30 – 12:50 |
| Finland | 11:40 – 12:00 | 12:55 – 13:15 |

| Latvia | 13:05 – 13:25 | 14:20 – 14:40 |
| Switzerland | 13:30 – 13:50 | 14:45 – 15:05 |
