All songs can be heard on solvotele.com.ua.

However, almost half of the songs are breaking the rule stating that a song must not have been commercially released or publicly performed before 1st October 2004 in order to be eligible to enter the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest.

Earlier this week, NTU was not able yet to inform us how the Ukrainian selections will continue. Due to recent changes, other people are in charge of the selections. Will the national final take place next Sunday 27th February as initially planned? Will artists who qualified with an ineligible song be allowed, or forced to sing another song, or will NTU increase the number of finalists? Many answers to which esctoday.com hopes to be able to give you some answers over the next few days.
