On May 11, the second semi-final of the 67th international Eurovision Song Contest, held on behalf of Ukraine, took place in Liverpool.
The presenters of the show — the soloist of the Ukrainian band The Hardkiss Yulia Sanina and the British actress Hannah Weddingham chose symbolic images for the second day of the show. Yuliya took the stage in a blue latex jumpsuit, and Hanna in a short yellow dress, thus creating a palette of the Ukrainian flag. The third presenter, Alisha Dixon, chose a rather revealing black mini dress with a corset, complementing the image with a lush train.
16 participants of various genres competed for the right to enter the finals. According to the results of the votes of the TV viewers, and according to the new rules, only they vote in the semi-finals, the second ten finalists were determined:
