The bass baritone singer, Vasyl Lazarovych, started tonight's show with his first entry Adrenalin. The song was performed in Russian. The Ukrainian representative was very confident on stage and made the public feel the power of his deep voice. During the first entry the singer wore a very elegant black costume. He sat on a big black chair, which started moving in the middle of the song and six dancers appeared from a black overhang.
The second entry was Shine Of Your Star. The singer appeared on stage in a grey costume, accompanied by six dancers in black monk-like clothes.
