Kristina Kochegarova (Kristall) represented Ukraine at the 2011 Junior Eurovision Song Contest with her fun and energetic entry, Europe. Kristina has been talking to ESC Covers about what she has been up to since those JESC days.
What have you been doing since Junior Eurovision?
After JESC, I tried myself in different competitions. I sang in The Voice Kids (Ukraine) and was in the team of Svetlana Loboda (2009 ESC Ukraine). I would like to continue writing more articles about songs and some events for that after my internal exams. I realized songs ‘The Wings Of A Dove’ and ‘Do What You Wanna’. The movies were also made for those tracks.
After 2011 I left the Paradise PR Centre and tried myself in different kinds of music styles. Unfortunately, in the autumn, I had problems with my voice and I needed a long period to recover in hospitals. Now, I can sing and have a lot of ideas to create something new. I hope, my dreams will come true:)
Here are some clips of me performing ‘Do What You Wanna’ (live performance) and a performance at the Caribbean Club for HRC Paradise.
Thank you Kristina. We look forward to hearing new music from you soon. Best wishes from ESC Covers and our readers.

Statement from the EBU regarding Russia’s participant in the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest:
It has been confirmed to the EBU that the Ukrainian authorities have issued a travel ban on the Russian artist chosen for the Eurovision Song Contest, Julia Samoylova, as she has been judged to have contravened Ukrainian law by entering Crimea in order to perform.
We have to respect the local laws of the host country, however we are deeply disappointed in this decision as we feel it goes against both the spirit of the Contest, and the notion of inclusivity that lies at the heart of its values.
We will continue a dialogue with the Ukrainian authorities with the aim of ensuring that all artists can perform at the 62nd Eurovision Song Contest in Kyiv in May.
Morten Thomassen, president of OGAE Norway attended an Ukrainian event in Oslo tonight. There was a Eurovision-cake. JOWST (the Norwegian artists for 2017) did come by and grabbed the first bites. The cake looks so delicious! Hope they have similar cakes in Kyiv for us.
Sofia Tarasova represented Ukraine at the 2013 Junior Eurovision Song Contest with We Are One. She finished in the runner up position with her outstanding performance.
Sofia has just released a beautiful cover version of the Rihanna song, Sledgehammer. In my opinion it is even stronger than Rihanna’s version. Sofia’s charming vocals go perfectly with the haunting melody of the song. In the video Sofia beautifully and passionately performs the song. The video is a PicOi Production.
You can see the video for Sledgehammer below.
