When asked about the final she said, �The final will be complicated and interesting since every country will be artistic and joyful.� When asked about her chances of winning she stated, �When I was writing this song. I thought and intended to bring energy to people. If we win it will be a great surprise, and a major breakthrough for Ukraine. I feel that I can win but it�s hard to explain. I just can say that I need the victory.� Ruslana seems one of the most sure and confident of all the entries this year. In yesterdays' conference she was telling people to �get up and be happy, please don�t fall asleep�.
