And each participant can collect “likes” for their videos until 25th of August. So far they have revealed three participants some of which are familiar to the Ukrainian audience.

Karina Zayets is trying to reach one of the spots for the final with the song “Zhyva” (Alive). Karina was previously a contestant at the 4th season of The Voice Kids Ukraine where unfortunately she couldn’t pass the blind audition even though she performed a traditional Ukrainian song sung in both Ukrainian and Chinese language. The mentioned season was won by debuting artist for Kazakhstan at JESC 2018, Daneliya Tuleshova.
