Ukraine are a top ten favourite this year and they should qualify for the final, they always do. The politics may have an effect on the voting with the west possibly giving votes in lieu of Russia, kinda like money into the country now and during the Orange Revolution. There is no Politics in Eurovision though

Artist: Mariya Yaremchuk
Song: Tick-Tock
Ukraine have sent a Rhianna clone to Eurovision in 2014. She is a better vocalist than Rhianna, but then two cats fvcking are better vocalists than Rhianna. If she nails this on the night, it will do very well and could go top 5.
The live performance doesn't appear to have the whistling, however I can understand the addition. They want the singer to be sexy for the event and a pucker whistle can add to that.
It is a popular genre, but not one that I like. I appreciate that people like this and that popularity will get this song far.
If they go with the whistling as in the promo clip, they wont be alone with whistling this year. Historically the United Kingdom has also had a little whistle back in 1959. I can't believe it took until 1982 for France to say that Eurovision songs were mediocre...
