it is not only competition, but also moments of emotion. During the semi-final of the competition, there were references to Ukraine, which, according to tradition, should organize the event this year. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing war in the country, the host of the 67th Eurovision Song Contest is Great Britain, and the participants perform on stage in Liverpool.
When all 15 countries presented themselves to the viewers, who could vote for their favorites this year, a unique duo appeared on the stage. A unique song was sung by Alyosha, the representative of Ukraine at Eurovision in 2010, and Rebecca Ferguson. The singers performed together their own interpretation of the Duran Duran song “Ordinary World”. During the performance, flags appeared in the background, including Poland.
Eurovision 2023 full of emotions. The leader’s voice broke
For Alyosha, the composition is of particular importance. The artist had to leave Ukraine due to the ongoing war. What’s more, the husband of the singer stayed in the country attacked by Russia. The song in this tragic context resounds even more distinctly. The host of Eurovision, Hannah Waddingham, known from the TV series “Ted Lasso”, could not hide her emotion, which was betrayed by her increasingly broken voice.
After the moving performance, Eurovision served the viewers another dose of climatic music. This time Rita Ora appeared on the stage. Shortly after that, the hosts of the program announced the end of voting. We would like to remind you that the performance of the Polish national team Blanka Stajkow in Liverpool will be available only during the second semi-final of the competition, which will take place on Thursday, May 11. The artist will present the song “Solo” as the ninth in a row.
