The six remaining performers on the Ukrainian casting show Ty-zirka will sing for only three final places in a Eurovision Song Contest-themed show tonight.

Nearly all of the songs for tonight's edition are well-known Eurovision Song Contest classics. The line-up is as follows:

1. Tina Karol – I control you
2. Kiril Turichenko – In your eyes (Ireland 1993)
3. Irina Rozenfeld – Ding-a-dong (the Netherland 1975)
4. Natalia Volkova – Hasheket shenishar (Israel 2005)
5. Stanislav Konkin – Save your kisses for me (UK 1976)
6. Vladimir Tkachenko – Why? (Finland 2005)

Once again, the results of the public vote can be seen live online at this link. The results will be announced on Sunday night.

The final of Ty-zirka is set for Saturday, 11th March. The eventual winner of the Ukrainian selection will have to perform in the qualifier round in Athens, as Ruslana did in 2004, because of Greenjolly's disappointing result for the home country in 2005.
