Eurovision 2011
The song won both the televote and jury voting in Ukraine's national final on February 26, 2011. However, because the voting procedure in this final was seen as inadequate a new final was scheduled to be held on March 3, 2011. After Jamala and Zlata Ognevich withdrew for this new final the days before it was scheduled to be held Newton became the artist to represent Ukraine, but on March 3, 2011, it was unknown which song she would perform on Eurovision. The next day Newton and the competition's organizer NTU declared that Angel would be sent to the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 "with better arrangements".
Sand animator Kseniya Simonova accompanied Newton during the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 performance.
