Eurovision 2010: Ukraine to change its song at the Eleventh Hour

Sunday marks the absolute deadline when all the songs taking part in this year's Eurovision Song Contest are to be known, ahead of the draw for the running order. However, following protests about Vasyl Lazarovich being the only singer in with a chance of representing Ukraine this year, not to mention the distinct lack of oomphage in his entry I Love You , an all-singing, all-dancing national final has been arranged for Saturday night - the last possible date a song for this year's Eurovision can be chosen.

The word has gone round the country's record industry - and Vasyl himself is welcome to have a go if he wants to - but Saturday will now see an entirely new song chosen for Ukraine.

Now, is it just me, or are these the type of stories you come across in Eurovision retrospectives, somewhere along the lines of: '(Song X) was never intended to be part of Eurovision 2010 at all, it only got its chance when a last-minute open final was held in Ukraine the night before the deadline. It went on to sweep the board with the juries and televoters alike...'

Well, it would be interesting if it happened...
