Ukraine was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 22 May 2008. Performing during the show in position 4, "Shady Lady" was announced among the 10 qualifying entries of the second semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 24 May. It was later revealed that Ukraine placed first out of the 19 participating countries in the semi-final with 152 points. In the final, Ukraine performed in position 18 and placed second out of the 25 participating countries with 230 points.

Background

Prior to the 2008 contest, Ukraine had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest five times since its first entry in 2003, winning it in 2004 with the song "Wild Dances" performed by Ruslana. [1] Following the introduction of semi-finals for the 2004, Ukraine had managed to qualify to final in every contest they participated in thus far. Ukraine had been the runner-up in the contest in 2007 with the song "Dancing Lasha Tumbai" performed by Verka Serduchka. Ukraine's least successful result had been 19th place, which they achieved during the 2005, with the song "Razom nas bahato" performed by GreenJolly.

The Ukrainian national broadcaster, National Television Company of Ukraine (NTU), broadcasts the event within Ukraine and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. NTU confirmed their intentions to participate at the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest on 21 December 2007. [2] In the past, the broadcaster had alternated between both internal selections and national finals in order to select the Ukrainian entry. Between 2005 and 2007, NTU had set up national finals with several artists to choose both the song and performer to compete at Eurovision for Ukraine, with both the public and a panel of jury members involved in the selection. The Ukrainian broadcaster internally selected the artist for the 2008 contest, while a national final was also organised to select the song. [3]

It was announced in September 2007 that the competition's format would be expanded to two semi-finals in 2008. [18] According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Four" (France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top nine songs from each semi-final as determined by televoting progress to the final, and a tenth was determined by back-up juries. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into six different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot. On 28 January 2008, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals. [19] Ukraine was placed into the second semi-final, to be held on 22 May 2008. [20] The running order for the semi-finals was decided through another draw on 17 March 2008 and Ukraine was set to perform in position 4, following the entry from Turkey and before the entry from Lithuania. [21]

In Ukraine, both the semi-finals and the final were broadcast on Pershyi Natsionalnyi with commentary by Timur Miroshnychenko. The Ukrainian spokesperson, who announced the Ukrainian votes during the final, was Marysya Horobets.
