Before Eurovision[]

Ty-Zirka[]

"Ty-Zirka" was the Ukrainian version of the Irish show "You're A Star". A total of four shows were held at the NTU TV Studios in Kyiv, hosted by Maria Orlova and Igor Posypaiko.

The results of each of the four shows were determined by a 50/50 combination of votes from a jury panel and public televoting. In the first three shows, the three lowest-placed artists were eliminated from the competition.[1]

Competing artists[]

Interested performers were able to attend live auditions that were held in the six cities of Ukraine: Chernihiv, Poltava, Dnipro, Odessa, Chernivtsi and Kyiv. 12 performers were selected to compete in the national final.

Elimination shows[]

The first show of the competition took place on 21 January 2006 and featured all twelve competing artists performing cover versions of Ukrainian hit songs.

Preparation[]

After winning the national final, a revamped version of "I Am Your Queen", titled "Show Me Your Love", was presented for the contest.

At Eurovision[]

Because Ukraine placed 19th at the 2005 contest, Tina was forced to compete in the Eurovision semi-final, performing 15th, following Turkey and preceding Finland. She qualified to the final, placing 7th in the semi-final and scoring 146 points.[2] In the final, Ukraine placed 7th, scoring 145 points, so Ukraine automatically qualified for the final in the 2007 contest.[3]
