Ukraine UKRAINE 2024 - Artem Kotenko - Hear Me Now

[AlekS]

Eurovision team sent a message to our broadcaster where they said that whenever Artem appears in any video, immediately tons of Russian bots appear starting to attack him, wishing him to die, posting their nazi military symbols etc. Russians also tried to ban his Instagram account, but Suspilne unbanned him.
The attacks became so enormous that the EBU asked us for help.
Artem appeared on national TV and said he saw everything, but he's not bothered

Artem caught cold right before the 1st rehearsal, so he felt really sick and didn't sing high notes on the 1st rehearsal.
He went to doctor and eventually recovered in 3 days.
The 1st try of the 2nd rehearsal was to test waters... the team asked him to sing as usual on the 2nd try and perform in full force on the 3rd one. Which he did and we could record a great recap

He's just delivered his best vocals on the jury show

To me he was the clear winner after the live show, the message and how good the performance were made me cry.
