This was the first song that really made me realize how amazing Eurovision is. 2013 being the first edition I fully watched, Ukraine immediately enchanted me. Rest in peace to Igor, he was an integral part of this amazing performance.

[@isse2171]

Exactly the same for me :)

I initially wondered why this was posted at a seemingly random time. I later realized that the guy that was carrying her in the beginning just passed away. My deepest condolences 🙏❤️❤️

As they deserve.

[@MiudmonDice]

@@MustiiForTheWin well, there's **one** q that wasn't entirely deserved in my book. 2012 - be my guest - and it being near dead last in the televote for the semi, carried by an absurdly high jury vote

[@MustiiForTheWin]

@@MiudmonDice yeah 2012 was only Ukrainian song that I didn't liked at all But she said "Can Azərbaycan" in the end so as an Azerbaijani I feel happy 😂😂

[@TaurusGirl22]

@@MiudmonDice that song was amazing! And Gaitana’s voice is powerful. She was underrated af

[@DanTony68]

@@MiudmonDice Curiously, this song is my guilty pleasure, because this song is totally atypical compared to Ukrainian modern music and Gaitana doesn't match the stereotype of the Ukrainian woman at all, probably coming from the Congolese origin of her father. 'Be my guest' was one of the anthems played during the European Football Cup in 2012. And indeed it really sounds like a stadium anthem.

[@josephshaulov5914]

This was when I was 9 meaning this performance was a massive part of my childhood and it's the last song (well hopefully not the last song) written by Karen Kavaleryan who is an amazing Eurovision lyricist. I also just noticed the screen shaking when Igor was walking to put her down. Rest in Peace Igor. Thank you for the memories.

She was robbed of 2nd place in the GF, cause Kirkorov together with Azerbaijan cheated that year (was all over the news).
