I have decided to take a look at each entry this year, in a lead-up to the contest! There are 39 countries participating this year, all aiming to win in Malmo (well, some don't wanna win!) Turkey, Portugal, Slovakia and Bosnia & Herzegovina decided to withdraw this year, which was a shame, so lets hope they'll decide to return for 2014! I have drawn all the countries randomly and today it's the UK's turn...Bonnie Tyler - Believe In Me!
After the UK scored a disappointing 25th place last year with Love Will Set You Free - the BBC have decided to send another international star. This time it's Bonnie Tyler - who has had numerous of hits in the 1970's and 1980's. Her participation was announced on 7th March, and the song she would compete with was also announced the same day! Several UK tabloids joked that the UK were "holding out for a zero"! Don't get it? Holding Out For a Hero is one of Bonnie's most successful songs! I'm proud to be British this year, we have a world famous artist with a respectable song!
Believe In Me speaks about love and she's asking her lover to believe in her. It's a great song and I think it can do really well in Malmo! If she gets a good draw then she could be in the top ten. I hope she wont flop like Engelbert did last year... I know his draw didn't help but he should not have come second to last! Can Bonnie Tyler bring Eurovision to the UK next year? Here's hoping! Good luck Bonnie!
You say you don't believe in signs from up above And you laugh at the thought of putting your faith in stuff like love You never see the rainbow you just curse the rain...The official video-clip...
