Eurovision 2011

The song won both the televote and jury voting in Ukraine's national final on February 26, 2011.[1] However, because the voting procedure in this final was seen as inadequate a new final was scheduled to be held on March 3, 2011.[2] After Jamala and Zlata Ognevich withdrew for this new final the days before it was scheduled to be held Newton became the artist to represent Ukraine, but on March 3, 2011, it was unknown which song she would perform on Eurovision.[3][4] The next day Newton and the competition's organizer NTU declared that Angel would be sent to the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 "with better arrangements".[5]

Sand animator Kseniya Simonova accompanied Newton during the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 performance.[6]

gollark: Oh, sure, fights with people who actually want to participate in them would be okay.
gollark: You still run into externalities like, er, carbon dioxide.
gollark: Ideally we'd be able to partition Earth into... lots of... different areas, set up different governments in each with people who like each one in them, magically fix externalities between them and stop them going to war or something, somehow deal with the issue of ensuring children in each society have a reasonable choice of where to go, and allowing people to be exiled to some other society in lieu of punishment there - assuming other ones will take them, obviously. But that is impractical.
gollark: The reason I support *some* land-value-taxish thing is that nobody creates land, so reward from it should probably go to everyone.
gollark: The only big problem I can see with that is that you can't really have the property/developed stuff on that land separate from the land itself, at least with current technology and use of nonmovable stuff.
