Ukraine's performance in the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest has divided fans with their new sound.
The musicians, called Tvorchi, took to the stage on Saturday to perform their song, Heart Of Steel.
Last year, Ukraine were victorious when Kalush Orchestra won over everyone's hearts with their hit track Stefania.
Singing live from Liverpool, Tvorchi had the crowd screaming in support of the passionate duo but viewers at home were divided over the song choice.
Many took to Twitter to voice how underwhelmed they were by the performance while some raved over the impressive visuals.

"We like the graphics. The song is pretty good. Definitely inspired by others. Not very memorable," one user said.
Another posted: "Alright that was great but the mix was teeeeerrible."
Some fans were amazed by the visuals (PA)"Ukraine has a solid entry, but it's a bit too -produced- and not enough quirky Europop for me," another critical fan said.
One impressed fan wrote: "Very respectable title defence there from Ukraine liked it a lot."
Another gave an honest review and said: "Hmm I'm sad that I wasn't really into it because I really wanted to be lol. But after Kalush it was never gonna stand out. I think if he had a stronger voice it might have hit different. 6/10."
"The visuals for Ukraine were stunning," one said while another added: "Awesome staging from #Ukraine - bit of a slow burner of a song."
Others were underwhelmed by the song (PA)Due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, the Eurovision Song Contest instead took place in the United Kingdom.

Andrii and Jeffrey met when they were in university and went on to release four studio albums.
