Olena Omelyanchuk writes: The 23-year-old singer, Alyosha, won the Ukrainian national final yesterday. She performed the song To Be Free. But after the show, it was found out that Alyosha's entry is breaking the Eurovision rules: To Be Free was already released in 2008! It is also suspected to be a plagiarism of Knock Me Out by Linda Perry and Grace Slick. So it is still not confirmed which entry will be sent to the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest from Ukraine. More information will follow soon! Read the story here.
