I Love You (Vasyl Lazarovich song)
"I Love You" is a song composed by Brandon Stone and Olga Yarynich and performed by Vasyl Lazarovych, and was to represent Ukraine at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 in May 2010 in Oslo, Norway . The song was selected on 6 March from five songs, all performed by Lazarovich.[1][2]
On 17 March 2010, it was announced by the National Television Company of Ukraine (NTU), the Ukrainian national broadcaster, that Vasyl Lazarovich's participation would be cancelled, and that a new national final would be held to select a new Ukrainian entry for the contest after complaints over the broadcaster's internal selection of Lazarovich and not letting other performers attempt to compete.[3][4] Lazarovich later took part in the new national final with "I Love You" on 20 March to attempt to continue his Eurovision participation, however finished in 7th place.[4][5][6][7]
