Performed by: Ani Lorak
Music by: Philip Kirkorov
Lyrics by: Karen Kavaleryan
Language: English
Placing: 2nd (230 points)


You've been my superstar
But it's not what you are
You've been my super hero
Since I've lived in your shade
Every step that I made
Brought me nothing but zero

But I'm staying alive
And now I'm changin' my life
With a burning desire
No one knows who I am
But I don't give a damn
Gonna set you on fire

Shady lady – I'm gonna strike like thunder
Are you ready? I wanna make you wonder
Rollin' steady – I'm gonna make you shiver
My heart is burning

Shady lady – I'm gonna strike like thunder
Are you ready? I wanna make you wonder
Rollin' steady – I'm gonna make you shiver
My heart is burning now

Just take a look at me
Deep inside and you'll see
All I kept under cover
There is one thing I bet
You're about to regret
I'm no longer your lover

I've just turned one more page
I belong to the stage
Baby, don't call me baby

Shady lady – I'm gonna strike like thunder
Are you ready? I wanna make you wonder
Rollin' steady – I'm gonna make you shiver
My heart is burning now

(Shady lady)
(Shady lady)

I wanna light you up and leave you alone
I am a brand new star that you've never known
I wanna light you up and leave you alone
I am a brand new star that you've never known

(Shady lady)
(Are you ready?)

Shady lady – I'm gonna strike like thunder
Are you ready? I wanna make you wonder
Rollin' steady – I'm gonna make you shiver
My heart is burning now

I was disappointed with her vocals though, that she ate ice cream before rehearsals and caught a disease. 1 day before the semi was the most stressful day for me because there was an option of withdrawal and it was a huge "what the heck :eek: " moment.

This was my second fave Ukrainian entry but is nothing compared to 2009. I thought this year's was brilliant... I actually thought it might win! :D So sad when it failed. :(

1) Ani Lorak - Solntse
10) Ani Lorak - A dal'she
31) Ani Lorak & Timoor Rodrigez - Uvlecheniye

An ok song but so empty and ordinary IMO. It deserved something similar to Charlotte.

Yeah, it was nice but completely commonplace. I guess the performance saved it a bit. ;)

Not as good as "Shady Lady" imo.
