Lyrics:
When you look into my eyes\\nWorld becomes a better place\\nAnd you know deep inside\\nLove is taking all the space\\nBaby, I love you... and you?\\n\nWe are birds, we fly so high and we are falling down\\nWhen I dream of you, my dream is so fearless\\nWe are people of the planet, we live human lives\\nWe are angels, we're in danger, we are crystal white, crystal white\\n\nWhen you look into my eyes\\nSun is touching mountain top\\nWhen you look into my eyes\\nIt will never have to stop\\nBaby, I love you... and you?\\n\nWe are birds, we fly so high and we are falling down\\nWhen I dream of you, my dream is so fearless\\nWe are people of the planet, we live human lives\\nWe are angels, we're in danger, we are crystal white, crystal white\\n\nWe are birds, we fly so high and we are falling down\\nWhen I dream of you, my dream is so fearless\\nWe are people of the planet, we live human lives\\nWe are angels, we're in danger, we are crystal white, crystal white
Ukraine participated in Eurovision Song Contest 2011 with the song "Angel" written by Ruslan Kvinta and Maryna Skomorohova. The song was performed by Mika Newton. The Ukrainian broadcaster National Television Company of Ukraine (NTU) organised a national final in order to select the Ukrainian entry for the 2011 contest in Düsseldorf, Germany. The national selection consisted of, five heats, held between 31 October and 28 November 2010, three semi-finals, held on 5, 12 and 26 December 2010, and a final, held on 26 February 2011; six to seven entries competed in each heat with four from each heat advancing to the final. Eight entries competed in each semi-final with the seven from each semi-final advancing to the final. In the final, "Angel" performed by Mika Newton was selected as the winner following the combination of votes from a nine-member jury panel and a public televote. The Ukrainian entry caused controversy due to alleged voting miscalculations caused by multiple votes being submitted from a single phone number. A new final was to be held on 3 March 2011; the top three acts were to compete with the winner being selected exclusively by a public televote where only one vote could be submitted from a single phone number. The new final was later cancelled after two of the three competing acts were withdrawn. "Angel" performed by Mika Newton therefore remained as the Ukrainian entry and a revamped version of the song was presented to the public on 15 March 2011. Ukraine was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 12 May 2011. Performing during the show in position 6, "Angel" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 14 May. It was later revealed that Ukraine placed sixth out of the 19 participating countries in the semi-final with 81 points. In the final, Ukraine performed in position 23 and placed fourth out of the 25 participating countries with 159 points.
Overall Final Postion: 4
