0:16:27 > 0:16:32CHEERING
0:16:32 > 0:16:33I think so.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35First up, singing 'Crazy' is Raya.
0:16:35 > 0:16:42Let's find out a little more about her.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46My name is Raya, and I'm from Doncaster.
0:16:46 > 0:16:53I'm a short northern firecracker with a heart of gold.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57When I was in the car with my dad I used to listen to his CDs.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59He used to play, like, Shania Twain, Celine Dion, like,
0:16:59 > 0:17:02all these things that you wouldn't expect a dad to listen to.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04And it must have been how I started wanting to sing,
0:17:04 > 0:17:09because I used to hear my dad doing it and want to copy him, basically.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Over the years, I've done loads of different types of gigs,
0:17:13 > 0:17:16whether it be really quiet, stripped back gigs or massive
0:17:16 > 0:17:17thousands and thousands of people.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19I think my stage experience will really help.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21The song that I'm singing is called Crazy.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25It's a song that we can all relate to.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27We've all been in a situation with love and lust.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29You just go crazy about someone.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32I think it's quite a universal thing, isn't it?
0:17:32 > 0:17:38I'd like to think so, otherwise it's just me!
0:17:38 > 0:17:41It's kind of one of those songs you can't help but move to.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Every time I hear it, I start, like, vibing out to it.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48I think everyone will be like that.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51It's an amazing song, I'm hoping to get some dance
0:17:51 > 0:17:53in there and just bring something a little bit different.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57I'm only little and I want to come out and bring a bit of power
0:17:57 > 0:18:01and sass and female empowerment, female boss.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04I am going to get onto that stage and I'm going to give it what for.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07I'm going to smash it.
0:18:08 > 0:18:14Performing 'Crazy', it's Raya.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16CHEERING
0:18:16 > 0:18:18# They say I'm out of my mind
0:18:18 > 0:18:20# Like I'm high all the time
0:18:20 > 0:18:25# Something changed me
0:18:25 > 0:18:28# The lights are shining so bright
0:18:28 > 0:18:29# Damn, you blinded my sight
0:18:29 > 0:18:35# Feeling hazy
0:18:35 > 0:18:36# You got me like
0:18:36 > 0:18:38# Ooh, ah, you're on my mind
0:18:38 > 0:18:39# On my mind
0:18:39 > 0:18:41# All of the time like
0:18:41 > 0:18:42# Ooh, ah, you're in my mind

0:21:06 > 0:21:12CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:21:20 > 0:21:30Come on over. Well done! What a cracking start.And over to our
0:21:30 > 0:21:35panel, Tom, last year a ballad won Eurovision but do you think this
0:21:35 > 0:21:40year is the year for an up-tempo song?It could become a bit of a
0:21:40 > 0:21:44perfect example of how the live performance makes or breaks a song,
0:21:44 > 0:21:48it is everything. It is not just hearing the song, you and performing
0:21:48 > 0:21:52and dancing and it's not easy doing it like that, not that I sing and
0:21:52 > 0:21:55dance at the same time! But incredibly difficult and I thought
0:21:55 > 0:22:02you smashed it.And talking about singer dancer, this lady is a triple
0:22:02 > 0:22:09threat, she is also a DJ! That is surely going to serve her well.
0:22:09 > 0:22:16Absolutely, and that was incredible. First up, and the energy...APPLAUSE
0:22:16 > 0:22:21You should be so happy, great job. Was there anything you would like to
0:22:21 > 0:22:29add to the performance if it goes to Lisbon cracking normally I would say
0:22:29 > 0:22:34five sweaty mechanics but you had them!But honestly, your voice is
0:22:34 > 0:22:41great, the song is really catching. It gets your hips moving. I think
0:22:41 > 0:22:46it's a catchy song and what a way to open the show.APPLAUSE
0:22:46 > 0:22:50If you think that Raya has got what it takes to represent the UK,
0:22:50 > 0:22:53you'll need to call 6 22 52 01 from your mobile or 09015 22
0:22:53 > 0:22:5652 01 from a landline.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Calls to the short number from a mobile cost 15p,
0:22:59 > 0:23:03calls to the long number cost 15p plus your network's access charge.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Please ask the bill payer's permission before you call.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07You can also vote online for free by visiting bbc.co.uk/Eurovision
0:23:07 > 0:23:12where you will also find terms and conditions.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Voting won't open until all our acts have performed so don't call yet,
0:23:15 > 0:23:23as your vote won't count and you may still be charged!
0:23:23 > 0:23:31And you'll feel like an idiot! Please give it up for Raya! APPLAUSE
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Superb, well done.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Time to find out some more about song number two.
0:23:35 > 0:23:42It's called 'Astronaut' and will be performed by Liam Tamne.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46My name's Liam Tamne, and I'm from Coventry.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48I'm someone who lives life to the fullest,
0:23:48 > 0:23:50and I take huge risks.
0:23:50 > 0:23:58Hence why I'm doing Eurovision.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03Starting out, it was things like Coventry Choir and little
0:24:03 > 0:24:05productions, playing Michael Jackson and Geri Halliwell in
0:24:05 > 0:24:06the Spice Girls - as you do!
0:24:06 > 0:24:09And I went into musical theatre, was in productions like Wicked,
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Hairspray, Hair, Les Mis, Phantom of the Opera.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13And I think the experience I've gained over the
0:24:13 > 0:24:15years, I'm ready now.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19The title of this song is Astronaut.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21It's so special to me because there was a certain point
0:24:21 > 0:24:25in my husband's life that he lost his dad,
0:24:25 > 0:24:30and it became my role to support him and his family.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32And that's essentially what the song is about.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35It's about uplifting someone through the difficult times.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38I think the audience will connect because we've all had to have
0:24:38 > 0:24:40someone to support us.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44I potentially would be representing the United Kingdom, and that is...
0:24:44 > 0:24:48It comes with a lot of pressure, but it's something where...
0:24:48 > 0:24:51That's what I strive on, that's the thing that keeps me
0:24:51 > 0:24:54going and wants me to constantly be the best that I can be.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57I'm so ready to get out there.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59I just want everyone to see what I've been working on,
0:24:59 > 0:25:03because keeping it a secret for such a long time, and now it's finally
0:25:03 > 0:25:06out there and everyone knows, it's exciting and I just can't wait
0:25:06 > 0:25:07to get out there and perform for you all.
0:25:07 > 0:25:14Performing 'Astronaut', it's Liam Tamne.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26# That's a whole lotta tears, babe.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28# That's a whole lotta fear, yeah.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30# Lyin' on my car.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33# Starin' at the stars.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36# So go ahead, let it all out.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38# No more hiding away now.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40# Let your worries fly.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44# We'll burn them all tonight.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49# When all your world falls apart.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54# Oh, I'll come pick you up.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58# I could be your astronaut.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00# Let me take you far away.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04# I said I could be your astronaut.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06# Take your body into space.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09# When gravity's pullin' you down and you can't breathe.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11# I will be waitin', you know you can call me.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13# I could be your astronaut.
0:26:13 > 0:26:21# Your astronaut.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29# Take my hand, hold it real tight.
0:26:29 > 0:26:30# Let's take off.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32# Let's get so high.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34# Hey, where'd you wanna start?
0:26:34 > 0:26:42# Jupiter or Mars?
0:26:48 > 0:26:51# I could be your astronaut.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53# Let me take you far away.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57# I said I could be your astronaut.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59# Take your body into space.

0:27:03 > 0:27:06# I will be waitin', you know you can call me.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10# I could be your astronaut.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11# Your astronaut.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15# So don't hesitate.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16# Right behind you, babe.
0:27:16 > 0:27:21# There's planets and galaxies far from reality.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23# Now's the time to soar.
0:27:23 > 0:27:31# I could be your astronaut.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37# I said I could be your astronaut.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38# I could be your astronaut.

0:28:11 > 0:28:17CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:28:17 > 0:28:32Liam Tamne!Come back down to earth! Thank you so much.Well done. Rylan,
0:28:32 > 0:28:35that was very simple, elegant staging, would you like to see Liam
0:28:35 > 0:28:41taking it up a notch for Lisbon?You know what? Brilliant song and you
0:28:41 > 0:28:45sung it amazing your voice is lovely and I been a big fan of your musical
0:28:45 > 0:28:50work. All I would say, when most people watch Eurovision, they will
0:28:50 > 0:28:53judge a song within the first ten seconds and that is the time when
0:28:53 > 0:28:56you pop outside the grab a drink if you're not into it but what you
0:28:56 > 0:29:00brought to the second half was great. You need to do that from the
0:29:00 > 0:29:05beginning otherwise people will lose you straightaway for the I'm saying
0:29:05 > 0:29:09that because I love the song. I think you're great but you've got to
0:29:09 > 0:29:14get them from the beginning.Look them in.This is technically quite a
0:29:14 > 0:29:22hard song to sing. How did you think he did?Amazing, I have seen you
0:29:22 > 0:29:25before on the state and I knew this was your environment and you were
0:29:25 > 0:29:29comfortable with a live performance but it's a technical song going back
0:29:29 > 0:29:35and forth between head voice and especially the really high note!
0:29:35 > 0:29:41That's difficult. You absolutely nailed it. Well done.
0:29:41 > 0:29:46Rochelle... Big news, my friend. There will be
0:29:46 > 0:29:53no LED screens in Lisbon.I know, I have heard. Rylan is not too happy.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57You don't need LED screens. You are amazing. The only thing I would say,
0:29:57 > 0:30:02I would like to see you work the stage in little more. You were quite
0:30:02 > 0:30:06far away from us, I would like this you get more involved. Your voice
0:30:06 > 0:30:11that speaks for itself and the song is very, very good. You are good to
0:30:11 > 0:30:13go with the no LED screens.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16If you think that Liam Tamne has got what it takes to represent the UK,
0:30:16 > 0:30:22you'll need to call 6 22 52 02 from your mobile 09015 22 52 02
0:30:22 > 0:30:25from a landline or vote online for free, when the vote opens
0:30:25 > 0:30:28after we've seen everyone perform in the show.
0:30:28 > 0:30:34Please give it up for Liam Tamne! Well done, the.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Next up, let's find out some more about Asanda
0:30:36 > 0:30:40singing song number three, 'Legends'.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42My name is Asanda, and I'm from London.
0:30:42 > 0:30:47I would say that I'm a very ambitious, crazy,
0:30:47 > 0:30:53emotional, sensitive, happy, energetic person.
0:30:53 > 0:30:58Music makes me feel joyful, and sometimes you're
0:30:58 > 0:31:00just in your element, you're in your zone.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03No one can, like, interrupt.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05No one can get you out, no one can say anything,
0:31:05 > 0:31:07cos it's you, you know?
0:31:07 > 0:31:12You and the music.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14I auditioned for Britain's Got Talent 2013.
0:31:14 > 0:31:15I gave it my all.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17And I think the judges saw that.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19After Britain's Got Talent I've been singing so much,
0:31:19 > 0:31:21performing, travelling.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23It's amazing.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25The title of the song I'm singing is Legends.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28It's very direct, it's truthful, it's fun and I just hope
0:31:28 > 0:31:32that the audience will have fun.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35This song makes me feel empowered, definitely.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38And I think that because I feel empowered, it will truly come
0:31:38 > 0:31:41out when I'm on stage.
0:31:41 > 0:31:46For me to be the youngest, 16, it's really, like...
0:31:46 > 0:31:49It's a lot of pressure.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51I just want to give my all.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54Once I'm on stage, it's just like a switch, and it's
0:31:54 > 0:31:55not going to turn off.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57It's just going to be so mad.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59It's going to be lit.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02And I hope you're ready for it.
0:32:04 > 0:32:09Performing 'Legends', it's Asanda.

0:35:06 > 0:35:14# Legends tonight #.
0:35:14 > 0:35:19CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.
0:35:21 > 0:35:38Wow. Come on down, Asanda. Bring it in. Good to see you.I know we spoke
0:35:38 > 0:35:41earlier about cardio and how tough it is to keep your vocals when
0:35:41 > 0:35:47you're dancing and singing at the same time, what did you think of the
0:35:47 > 0:35:52choreography, Rochelle?Is so good. That, to me, is exciting. So fresh,
0:35:52 > 0:35:58so current, so now. You are 16, write?! That is incredible. Like
0:35:58 > 0:36:02Rylan said earlier, get your crowd from the moment the song starts. You
0:36:02 > 0:36:08had is all in, we were with you, pretending we could do the same
0:36:08 > 0:36:11dance moves. We were there. You've got it.
0:36:11 > 0:36:16Rylan, do you think we have the makings of a 1974 style legendary
0:36:16 > 0:36:24performance?Anyone that wears jungle trousers, yes, girl! Summer
0:36:24 > 0:36:282004, bringing it back. This is exactly what Eurovision is
0:36:28 > 0:36:32all about. From the second but started, everyone was like, who is
0:36:32 > 0:36:37she, what is she doing? You danced and sang, everyone loved it. You
0:36:37 > 0:36:43want to watch, you are amazing. The track has quite a distinct
0:36:43 > 0:36:47sound, what did you think, Tom?It sounds great. It wasn't like
0:36:47 > 0:36:52watching somebody take part in a contest, you looked like a pop star
0:36:52 > 0:36:55performing your single. I love Temm Reggie Goodes howdy were enjoying
0:36:55 > 0:36:59it, you had the biggest smile. It makes such a difference when you
0:36:59 > 0:37:02know the artist is having fun. Housekeeping now.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06If you think that Asanda has got what it takes to represent the UK,
0:37:06 > 0:37:09you'll need to call 6 22 52 03 from a mobile, 09015 22 52 03
0:37:09 > 0:37:12from a landline, or vote online for free when the vote opens
0:37:12 > 0:37:17after we've seen everyone perform in the show.
0:37:17 > 0:37:22Please give it up, everybody, for Asanda.
0:37:22 > 0:37:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25That's half of the songs, only three left.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27The fourth act is Jaz Ellington singing 'You'.
0:37:27 > 0:37:33Here's some more about him.
0:37:33 > 0:37:41My name is Jaz Ellington, and I'm from south-west London.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44In one sentence, I would sum myself up as crazy, fun, lovable.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48My inspiration for singing comes from quite a few different places.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51So if we're looking at, you know, the greats, Whitney Houston,
0:37:51 > 0:37:54my favourite singer of all time.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57I grew up on Aretha Franklin as well, Luther Vandross,
0:37:57 > 0:37:58Stevie Wonder.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00The list goes on.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04Yeah, I'm completely immersed and surrounded by music.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08Music, music, music.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10I started off singing in church choirs and stuff,
0:38:10 > 0:38:13and I went to Brit School, and I was in Leona Lewis's
0:38:13 > 0:38:14class, Katie Melua.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15I did the Voice UK.
0:38:15 > 0:38:16It was amazing.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18I had so much fun.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22It was, to date, the biggest thing I've done.
0:38:22 > 0:38:27Now I'm on Eurovision!
0:38:27 > 0:38:32And it's nerve-racking, but exciting.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34The title of the song I'm singing is You.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36It's a sad song, but then it's really
0:38:36 > 0:38:41heart-warming, like, touching.
0:38:41 > 0:38:42So, for me, it's your audible gold.
0:38:42 > 0:38:43Hashtag!
0:38:43 > 0:38:44I'm ready.
0:38:44 > 0:38:45I'm ready.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48I'm ready to go on stage, I'm ready to sing this song
0:38:48 > 0:38:51and bring it the justice that it deserves, because it's
0:38:51 > 0:38:53a beautiful song.
0:38:53 > 0:38:59Performing 'You', it's Jaz Ellington.
0:39:00 > 0:39:06# She finds me shelter in the rain.
0:39:06 > 0:39:12# Kisses my head before I sleep.
0:39:12 > 0:39:18# She takes the sky and turns it blue.
0:39:18 > 0:39:24# But she won't ever be you.
0:39:24 > 0:39:30# She makes me coffee before I works.
0:39:30 > 0:39:37# She'll sing my songs in bed till three.
0:39:37 > 0:39:43# By my side she'll stick like glue.
0:39:43 > 0:39:51# But she won't ever be you.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55# Last night I die.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58# I turned to grey.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01# I found a girl.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04# It's such a shame.
0:40:04 > 0:40:10# The look of love is on her face.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14# Oh, what a waste.
0:40:14 > 0:40:20# Sends to me to sleep like rum and whiskey.
0:40:20 > 0:40:27# Then takes me high as aeroplanes.
0:40:27 > 0:40:33# There ain't nothin' bad that she could do.
0:40:33 > 0:40:39# But she won't ever be you.
0:40:39 > 0:40:45# Maybe I'll tell her in the morning.
0:40:45 > 0:40:51# Maybe I'll tell her in a week.
0:40:51 > 0:40:58# I guess it's time she finally knew.
0:40:58 > 0:41:06# That she won't ever be you, no.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10# Last night I died.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13# I turned to grey.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16# I found a girl.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18# It's such a shame.
0:41:18 > 0:41:25# The look of love is on her face.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29# Oh, what a waste.
0:41:29 > 0:41:35# She's in my head but not my heart.
0:41:35 > 0:41:41# She's in my bed but not my dreams.
0:41:41 > 0:41:49# I think it's time I tell the truth.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53# That she won't ever.
0:41:53 > 0:42:00# She won't ever be you #.
0:42:00 > 0:42:09CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.
0:42:09 > 0:42:18Jaz Ellington, ladies and gentlemen. Come on over.Superb. Oh! Now... Are
0:42:18 > 0:42:25you OK?Yes.Good. Do you think this could be the year that we send a
0:42:25 > 0:42:30ballad to Lisbon, Tom?I don't know whether a ballad can do it again.
0:42:30 > 0:42:35But I think there is always room for talent, and you have the most
0:42:35 > 0:42:39incredible voice. When you reach those high notes, goose bumps don't
0:42:39 > 0:42:42lie and all of my has stood up on my arm. I could listen to using
0:42:42 > 0:42:54forever. MANS:do you agree that he could be
0:42:54 > 0:42:58a contender?If you release that song tomorrow, you would be in the
0:42:58 > 0:43:04top five easily, it is an amazing song. My worry is the ballad won
0:43:04 > 0:43:08last year. Portugal did it so different last year, it was not just
0:43:08 > 0:43:12a ballad, it was the way he performed it. I love to that song
0:43:12 > 0:43:17but I would worry that it would get lost in what other countries are
0:43:17 > 0:43:21bringing. That is nothing against you personally, I think the song is
0:43:21 > 0:43:27great, but I worry.
0:43:27 > 0:43:31great, but I worry.Rochelle, Jaz brought a lot of emotion.For me,
0:43:31 > 0:43:36emotion never gets old, it is never a phase. You could hear a pin drop
0:43:36 > 0:43:40in here, there is really some thing to be said when somebody sings and
0:43:40 > 0:43:44you feel safe. Nobody was worried, when you hit the note we were not
0:43:44 > 0:43:47cringing, we were thinking this would be amazing comic he has got
0:43:47 > 0:43:50this, there is something to be said for that.
0:43:50 > 0:43:57If you think that Jez Ellington has got what it takes
0:43:57 > 0:44:00from a mobile, 09015 22 52 04 from a landline, or vote online
0:44:00 > 0:44:03for free when the vote opens after we've seen everyone
0:44:03 > 0:44:06perform in the show.
0:44:06 > 0:44:09Please give that up for Jaz Ellington.
0:44:09 > 0:44:17Remember, we will open the lines after the last act has performed.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32I would describe myself a small but mighty.
0:44:32 > 0:44:34Music was my first language, really.
0:44:34 > 0:44:37I started teaching myself to play the piano by learning
0:44:37 > 0:44:40to read the music books, so I learned that before I actually
0:44:40 > 0:44:44went to school and learned to read normal books.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47I know what it's like to perform at Eurovision, because I had
0:44:47 > 0:44:49the amazing opportunity to do some backing vocals and dancing
0:44:49 > 0:44:57for a couple of Belgian artists - Loic Nottet in 2015 in Vienna,
0:44:57 > 0:45:03and then Blanche last year in Kiev - which was absolutely incredible.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05You can't really prepare for that buzz, and that noise.
0:45:05 > 0:45:10The roar of the crowd.
0:45:10 > 0:45:15The Eurovision fans are probably the best people in the world.
0:45:15 > 0:45:18My track is called Storm, and this song means a lot to me
0:45:18 > 0:45:21because the lyrics have a very strong, a very hopeful message
0:45:21 > 0:45:24that we can all take, and it's got this beautiful melody,
0:45:24 > 0:45:25a really classic, uplifting pop feel.
0:45:25 > 0:45:30I hope everyone really likes it.
0:45:30 > 0:45:33To represent the UK and to no longer be a backing vocalist supporting
0:45:33 > 0:45:36other artists but stepping forward and having my time and my chance
0:45:36 > 0:45:41would be just such an honour.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43I know I can do this, and there's nothing else I want.
0:45:43 > 0:45:49This is it.
0:45:49 > 0:45:56Performing 'Storm', it's SuRie.
0:46:02 > 0:46:06# Hey, hey brother
0:46:06 > 0:46:10# Do you remember when we were kids with no fear?
0:46:10 > 0:46:15# Hey, hey sister
0:46:15 > 0:46:20# Do you believe in the things we dreamt we'd discover?
0:46:20 > 0:46:22# I still have faith
0:46:22 > 0:46:28# I still believe in chasing rainbows
0:46:28 > 0:46:34# Storms don't last forever, forever
0:46:34 > 0:46:38# Remember, we can hold our hands together
0:46:38 > 0:46:40# Through this storm
0:46:40 > 0:46:44# Through this storm
0:46:44 > 0:46:50# Storms don't last forever, forever
0:46:50 > 0:46:55# Remember, we can hold our hands together
0:46:55 > 0:46:58# Through this storm
0:46:58 > 0:47:00# Through this storm
0:47:00 > 0:47:00# Hey, hey mother
0:47:02 > 0:47:06# Hey, hey mother
0:47:06 > 0:47:10# Am I making you proud or could I do better?
0:47:10 > 0:47:16# Hey, hey father
0:47:16 > 0:47:21# There's weight on my shoulders but it's not over
0:47:21 > 0:47:25# I still have faith
0:47:25 > 0:47:29# I still believe in chasing rainbows
0:47:29 > 0:47:35# Storms don't last forever, forever
0:47:35 > 0:47:40# Remember, we can hold our hands together
0:47:40 > 0:47:41# Through this storm
0:47:41 > 0:47:44# Through this storm
0:47:44 > 0:47:48# Storms don't last forever, forever
0:47:48 > 0:47:54# Remember, we can hold our hands together
0:47:54 > 0:47:59# Through this storm
0:47:59 > 0:48:00# Through this storm
0:48:00 > 0:48:02# Spread your love
0:48:02 > 0:48:06# Give all you got
0:48:06 > 0:48:08# Hold your head up
0:48:08 > 0:48:10# Don't give up, no no
0:48:10 > 0:48:14# Hey, hey brother
0:48:14 > 0:48:16# Don't give up
0:48:16 > 0:48:18# Oh whoa whoa whoa
0:48:18 > 0:48:22# Storms don't last forever, forever
0:48:22 > 0:48:28# Remember, we can hold our hands together

0:48:42 > 0:48:46# Spread your love, your love
0:48:46 > 0:48:50# Give all you got, hey
0:48:50 > 0:48:57# Hold your head up through this storm #.
0:48:57 > 0:49:03CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:49:08 > 0:49:21Come over here, SuRie. Well, well, well, good to see you. I can't hear
0:49:21 > 0:49:28anything!
0:49:28 > 0:49:35I was born in Surrey!If there is one thing British like to do is talk
0:49:35 > 0:49:43about the weather, you think this is a representative song for the UK?
0:49:43 > 0:49:46CHEERING Definitely there is something, it is
0:49:46 > 0:49:53a song of two halves, so intimate at first and you suck people in the way
0:49:53 > 0:49:57you perform it and then you suddenly explode into the chorus. If few
0:49:57 > 0:49:59people were singing along in the first cause but by the second
0:49:59 > 0:50:07everybody was singing.Rylan, we all know that Eurovision loves a song
0:50:07 > 0:50:11with a bit of a message. There is a great message in this song, do you
0:50:11 > 0:50:16think it will go down well?I take Eurovision really seriously every
0:50:16 > 0:50:20year and you have come out here and you have absolutely smashed it with
0:50:20 > 0:50:26that song.CHEERING It's got the message, I was a big
0:50:26 > 0:50:35fan last year of Blanche last year, that was amazing and I think you are
0:50:35 > 0:50:41outstanding, well done.Would you change anything, Rochelle?First of
0:50:41 > 0:50:45all, this room does not lie and they loved it. The only thing I would
0:50:45 > 0:50:52change, the last chorus, we want to see you up with it, they love you,
0:50:52 > 0:50:58get rid of the microphone stand and come to the front.You're right. We
0:50:58 > 0:51:08also need to see the tape, this is a lady with a cape! That was a worry!
0:51:08 > 0:51:11If you think that SuRie has got what it takes to represent the UK,
0:51:11 > 0:51:15you'll need to call 6 22 52 05 from a mobile 09015 22 52 05
0:51:15 > 0:51:18from a landline or vote online for free when the vote opens
0:51:18 > 0:51:25after we've seen everyone perform in the show.
0:51:25 > 0:51:30Give it up for SuRie! CHEERING Well done.
0:51:30 > 0:51:33Only one song left, then it's up to you and the jury
0:51:33 > 0:51:36to decide tonight's winner.
0:51:36 > 0:51:39Song number six is called 'I Feel The Love', and will be
0:51:39 > 0:51:40performed by Goldstone.
0:51:40 > 0:51:42Take it away.
0:51:45 > 0:51:53I think summing up Goldstone would be glitzy, glamorous and girly.
0:51:55 > 0:51:58Aimie and I met, we were doing a musical called Dirty Dancing,
0:51:58 > 0:51:59we were on tour together.
0:51:59 > 0:52:02And we just came up with the idea that we'd love to be able
0:52:02 > 0:52:05to continue singing together, because we got on really well,
0:52:05 > 0:52:06and we decided to put together the group.
0:52:06 > 0:52:09And we needed a third member, so we had an audition,
0:52:09 > 0:52:11and we found Rhiannon.
0:52:11 > 0:52:13That's where I came in.
0:52:13 > 0:52:14Yeah.
0:52:14 > 0:52:16Rhiannon's got this very loud Welsh voice.
0:52:16 > 0:52:17Helen's soulful R&B.
0:52:17 > 0:52:19Aims is, like, rocky, sexy, raspy.
0:52:19 > 0:52:21We actually really complement each other, I think.
0:52:21 > 0:52:24We have such a good time.
0:52:24 > 0:52:26Like, we spend most of our time laughing.
0:52:26 > 0:52:28Yeah.
0:52:28 > 0:52:29And singing!
0:52:29 > 0:52:30But mostly laughing.
0:52:30 > 0:52:32Our song is called I Feel The Love.
0:52:32 > 0:52:34It was written just after the Grenfell disaster and also
0:52:34 > 0:52:36the London Bridge attacks.
0:52:36 > 0:52:38And so there's a real message of people coming together
0:52:38 > 0:52:40and a sense of community, and staying positive
0:52:40 > 0:52:44and just spreading the love.
0:52:44 > 0:52:47My favourite lyric from the song is "We can't do it alone,
0:52:47 > 0:52:49times are changing."
0:52:49 > 0:52:51It's just a lyric about unity.
0:52:51 > 0:52:52It's a hopeful song, isn't it?
0:52:52 > 0:52:53Very much so.

1:02:08 > 1:02:19I know them all by now. Absolutely. There is Steve, Orinoco, Tobermory.
1:02:19 > 1:02:26Great uncle Bulgaria.You are just listing the Wombles! If you are
1:02:26 > 1:02:37struggling, and Mans clearly is, to decide, then take a look at this.
1:02:40 > 1:02:43decide, then take a look at this. We priced and students away from Homes
1:02:43 > 1:02:46Under The Hammer to watch some of the highlights from last year.
1:02:46 > 1:02:48Definitely the current sound at the minute, this song.
1:02:48 > 1:02:49# I can't go on
1:02:49 > 1:02:50# I can't go on.
1:02:50 > 1:02:51Are they on treadmills?
1:02:51 > 1:02:52Yeah!
1:02:52 > 1:02:54Yes, it's treadmills, go for a stroll!
1:02:54 > 1:02:55# I can't go on
1:02:55 > 1:02:57# I can't go on
1:02:57 > 1:03:00# When you look this freaking beautiful.
1:03:00 > 1:03:01I like the dance moves.
1:03:01 > 1:03:03The hand movement!
1:03:03 > 1:03:05What is this?!
1:03:05 > 1:03:07Yeah, it's quite classic pop, isn't it?
1:03:07 > 1:03:08Really.
1:03:08 > 1:03:11It's a catchy song, they've got good choreography.
1:03:11 > 1:03:14I feel like it would sit quite comfortably next to your Lady Gagas
1:03:14 > 1:03:15or your Taylor Swifts.
1:03:15 > 1:03:17It's very pop.
1:03:17 > 1:03:19Melodically it's a good song.
1:03:19 > 1:03:22Lyrics, I'm not so crazy about!
1:03:29 > 1:03:30Ooh, emotions.
1:03:30 > 1:03:31Very different vibe.
1:03:31 > 1:03:36I like this one.
1:03:36 > 1:03:38This one seems quite sincere.
1:03:38 > 1:03:41I like this one.
1:03:47 > 1:03:50Yeah, I think this definitely gets people on more
1:03:50 > 1:03:51like the emotional factor.
1:03:51 > 1:03:57Yeah, he's very into it, very passionate about it.
1:04:00 > 1:04:01Is he playing air violin?
1:04:01 > 1:04:07He's loving it.
1:04:10 > 1:04:13The majority of Eurovision is cheesy pop and this
1:04:13 > 1:04:16is not a cheesy pop song, this is a very gentle approach
1:04:16 > 1:04:24with some lovely, melodic lines.
1:04:24 > 1:04:27I think that's why it did so well, because it was very different,
1:04:27 > 1:04:28song-wise, instrumentation-wise, structure-wise.
1:04:28 > 1:04:30# And I say mamma, mamma, don't be so down.
1:04:30 > 1:04:32# I'm not that kind of boy.
1:04:32 > 1:04:39# Mamma, mamma, don't be so down.
1:04:39 > 1:04:40Are they singing into flowers?
1:04:40 > 1:04:41Yes, as microphones!
1:04:41 > 1:04:43# If you knew me you'd be surprised
1:04:43 > 1:04:44# Mamma, mamma, don't be so mad
1:04:44 > 1:04:46# She'll be back home till sunrise
1:04:46 > 1:04:49# Come on!
1:04:49 > 1:04:51That was an unexpected turn.
1:04:51 > 1:04:53Listen to that sax!
1:04:53 > 1:04:56I like it.
1:05:01 > 1:05:06# Hey mamma, hey mamma, hey ma-ma-ma
1:05:06 > 1:05:11# Hey mamma, hey mamma, hey ma-ma-ma.
1:05:11 > 1:05:14I like the performance of this one more than I like the song.
1:05:14 > 1:05:15It was so catchy.
1:05:15 > 1:05:18It does make you want to do that, though, doesn't it?
1:05:18 > 1:05:21They should have dabbed, get with the times!
1:05:21 > 1:05:24I think Eurovision is kind of a genre in itself.
1:05:24 > 1:05:26If you had every single country doing exactly the same thing,
1:05:26 > 1:05:29like the same genre, you'd watch four songs
1:05:29 > 1:05:36and turn it off.
1:05:36 > 1:05:39Some helpful thoughts to bear in mind on how to pick
1:05:39 > 1:05:42a Eurovision winner.
1:05:42 > 1:05:45I think it's safe to say that it's not just about the song, is it?
1:05:45 > 1:05:46It's the whole package.
1:05:46 > 1:05:47Absolutely.
1:05:47 > 1:05:49Staging, lighting, song and artist performance,
1:05:49 > 1:05:52all integral to winning.
1:05:52 > 1:05:55So, Mans, how are you enjoying yourself here at the BBC?
1:05:55 > 1:05:56Feel at home?
1:05:56 > 1:05:57Perfectly at home.
1:05:57 > 1:06:01I'm feeling more and more British by the minute!
1:06:01 > 1:06:03I thought you might say that, so I prepared
1:06:03 > 1:06:06a little test for you - don't be nervous -
1:06:06 > 1:06:10to see just how British you are.

1:06:15 > 1:06:16Duchess of Cambridge!
1:06:16 > 1:06:18Who's the team captain of Leeds United?
1:06:18 > 1:06:19Liam Cooper!
1:06:19 > 1:06:20What's a toad in the hole?
1:06:20 > 1:06:21Sausages in Yorkshire pudding!
1:06:21 > 1:06:23What did Europe say to Gemini?
1:06:23 > 1:06:24Bye bye baby.
1:06:24 > 1:06:26How would you describe Theresa May's hairdo?
1:06:26 > 1:06:27Fluffy!
1:06:27 > 1:06:29In what ways are the French superior to us?
1:06:29 > 1:06:30None.
1:06:30 > 1:06:31When will Donald Trump visit the UK?
1:06:31 > 1:06:33Never!
1:06:33 > 1:06:34OK, you're British!
1:06:34 > 1:06:35Well done!
1:06:35 > 1:06:39CHEERING That was amazing.Thank you so much.
1:06:39 > 1:06:41Mary Berry is waiting in your dressing room

1:08:04 > 1:08:10# Legends tonight.
1:08:20 > 1:08:28# I guess it's time she found out.
1:08:41 > 1:08:48# Hold your head up, don't give up, no, no.
1:09:02 > 1:09:04# It's the kind of love that cheers me.
1:09:04 > 1:09:12# Feel the love.
1:09:12 > 1:09:15It's not an easy choice to make at all, but they can't
1:09:15 > 1:09:17win without your help.
1:09:17 > 1:09:19We're broadcasting live from Brighton tonight,
1:09:19 > 1:09:22and since it's my first visit to this beautiful city, I've been
1:09:22 > 1:09:29out to learn some more about it.
1:09:33 > 1:09:35Oh, hi.
1:09:35 > 1:09:38The Brighton Dome is a thing of architectural beauty,
1:09:38 > 1:09:40and it's particularly dear to me, being the last Swedish winner
1:09:40 > 1:09:44of Eurovision in 2015.
1:09:44 > 1:09:46Yep, that's where you know me from.
1:09:46 > 1:09:51Because it is also the home of the first Swedish winners
1:09:51 > 1:09:54in 1974, a little tiny band you might have heard of called Abba.
1:09:54 > 1:09:58# Waterloo, I was defeated you won the war...
1:09:58 > 1:10:01As a Swede, I'm making my first of many spiritual journeys
1:10:01 > 1:10:05to the iconic Eurovision location of Brighton.
1:10:05 > 1:10:12And to find one place in particular.
1:10:19 > 1:10:21Now, this isn't exactly the place I was looking for,
1:10:21 > 1:10:23but it's perfect for a pit stop.
1:10:23 > 1:10:26This is a British pier, and you can tell it's British
1:10:26 > 1:10:30because there's a fish and chip shop at the start...
1:10:30 > 1:10:31..In the middle...
1:10:31 > 1:10:35And, in case you missed the first two, there is one at the end.
1:10:35 > 1:10:37This still remains the most popular landmark in Brighton.
1:10:37 > 1:10:40Perfect for some holiday snaps.
1:10:46 > 1:10:50# I came in like a wrecking ball.
1:10:50 > 1:10:58# I never hit so hard in love.
1:11:00 > 1:11:01Gorgeous.
1:11:01 > 1:11:04Anyways, just a stone's throw away from the famous pier and beach
1:11:04 > 1:11:06is the heart of the old fishing village, otherwise
1:11:06 > 1:11:08known as The Lanes.
1:11:08 > 1:11:11If only I had a stone to throw.
1:11:11 > 1:11:14Oh.
1:11:23 > 1:11:24See?
1:11:24 > 1:11:26The Lanes is an historical area of Brighton with
1:11:26 > 1:11:27an extraordinary mix of shops.
1:11:27 > 1:11:30From boutique to designer, you'll find it all here.
1:11:30 > 1:11:33But that's not what I'm here for.
1:11:42 > 1:11:43Are you OK?
1:11:43 > 1:11:46Yeah, I'm just trying to find a...
1:11:46 > 1:11:48An official Brighton tourist guide, perfect.
1:11:48 > 1:11:49Where are we now?
1:11:49 > 1:11:51We are at the Brighton Royal Pavilion.
1:11:51 > 1:11:53This was built about 200 years ago as the seaside getaway
1:11:53 > 1:11:55for the Prince Regent.
1:11:55 > 1:11:57He later became King George IV.
1:11:57 > 1:12:01Today it's Brighton's largest historic tourist attraction.
1:12:01 > 1:12:05You can also get married here, and in 2014 we had the UK's jointly
1:12:05 > 1:12:07first same-sex weddings here.
1:12:07 > 1:12:10The LGBTQ community is quite important Brighton, isn't it?
1:12:10 > 1:12:12It is, it is.
1:12:12 > 1:12:14We are said to have the larger proportion of LGBT
1:12:14 > 1:12:16people in Britain here.
1:12:16 > 1:12:21Every August we have the largest Pride event here in Brighton,
1:12:21 > 1:12:24and we have a whole history of people coming to Brighton
1:12:24 > 1:12:26to enjoy a little bit more freedom.
1:12:26 > 1:12:29This was heavily featured in the 1974 contest.
1:12:29 > 1:12:32And I was just wondering if you would want to recreate
1:12:32 > 1:12:34the Abba introduction video with me?
1:12:34 > 1:12:35Love to.
1:12:35 > 1:12:37All we need is charisma...
1:12:37 > 1:12:38And...
1:12:38 > 1:12:41An oversized plant.
1:12:41 > 1:12:42Oh.
1:12:42 > 1:12:43How convenient.
1:12:43 > 1:12:47# Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Waterloo...
1:12:47 > 1:12:48By the way, one last thing.
1:12:48 > 1:12:51Do you happen to know where I can find Madeira Drive?
1:12:51 > 1:12:52Yes, it's that way.
1:12:52 > 1:12:54That way?
1:12:54 > 1:12:55Right.
1:12:55 > 1:12:56Thank you.
1:13:04 > 1:13:05Ha-ha!
1:13:05 > 1:13:08Legend has it that only four years after Abba won Eurovision,
1:13:08 > 1:13:11Brighton celebrated with a perfect gift to the Swedes - Britain's first
1:13:11 > 1:13:15nudist beach popped up.
1:13:15 > 1:13:20This is that beach, and being from a country
1:13:20 > 1:13:22who loves to get naked, I thought I'd take
1:13:22 > 1:13:23the opportunity for a dip.
1:13:23 > 1:13:30Now, you never saw Katie Boyle doing this, did you?
1:13:37 > 1:13:43You'll have to watch a sequel!I'm so sorry. I actually got you a
1:13:43 > 1:13:54present, some Brighton Rock. That's nice, isn't it?It's likely tastes
1:13:54 > 1:14:00of dog wee. That was a mistake. The fact I know it tastes of dog wee is
1:14:00 > 1:14:03worrying. I will put the rock next to me in the taxi home, and forget
1:14:03 > 1:14:05it.
1:14:05 > 1:14:07Listen up - the vote is now closed.
1:14:07 > 1:14:08That's it.
1:14:08 > 1:14:10Please don't try to vote now as it won't count
1:14:10 > 1:14:12and you may still be charged.
1:14:12 > 1:14:14Now your votes will be combined with the jury's vote,
1:14:14 > 1:14:20and then we'll have our winner!
1:14:20 > 1:14:25CHEERING
1:14:25 > 1:14:29Tom, we have heard quite a difference in music styles tonight.
1:14:29 > 1:14:34What does that say about modern Eurovision?I think it is fantastic.
1:14:34 > 1:14:38This year is a very strong collection overall. In the past,
1:14:38 > 1:14:42Eurovision has a bad reputation when it comes to songs, this year is
1:14:42 > 1:14:46really strong. You could hear so many of those songs on the radio
1:14:46 > 1:14:51today, so shout out to the song writers.Absolutely. Rylan, how
1:14:51 > 1:14:58would you think Eurovision has changed Andy Boulton? -- Andy
1:14:58 > 1:15:02Boulton?Lots of people look at it as a gimmick and lots of people who
1:15:02 > 1:15:07do not know Eurovision take the Mickey out of it. We know it is very
1:15:07 > 1:15:08serious. CHEERING
1:15:08 > 1:15:15For me, personally,
1:15:15 > 1:15:18For me, personally, it was... Sweden do it right, every single year, but
1:15:18 > 1:15:22she was the game changer, for me. That is what we need to do. Britain
1:15:22 > 1:15:29needs to send our very own person like Mans to bring it home back to
1:15:29 > 1:15:34the country where it deserves to be. Rachelle, how do you think the
1:15:34 > 1:15:38artists are feeling?I am sure they are probably very nervous, not as
1:15:38 > 1:15:42nervous as before they perform. It is an exciting night, really, really
1:15:42 > 1:15:46exciting. I have caught up with some of them backstage and they are
1:15:46 > 1:15:49thrilled to be had, it is a great platform. Rylan is a super fan of
1:15:49 > 1:15:56every single one of them.
1:15:56 > 1:15:59every single one of them.I am so happy to be out of the house!What
1:15:59 > 1:16:01can we have from the three of you, your favourite all time ever
1:16:01 > 1:16:16Eurovision song?Abba.Waterloo? Abba.Waterloo began.Mine would
1:16:16 > 1:16:24probably be heroes by Mans.What about Finland?
1:16:24 > 1:16:27While we're counting and double checking tonight's vote,
1:16:27 > 1:16:31we've got a little treat for you.
1:16:31 > 1:16:33Let's travel back in time, 44 years, to the now
1:16:33 > 1:16:36famous Eurovision of 1974.
1:16:37 > 1:16:43As Ceefax became the hit new technology trend - groovy!
1:16:43 > 1:16:46- four-time Eurovision presenter and fashion guru Katie Boyle took
1:16:46 > 1:16:49to the stage in the Brighton Dome to host one of the most eventful
1:16:49 > 1:16:52and memorable Song Contests ever.
1:16:52 > 1:16:55Welcome to this, the 19th Eurovision Song Contest, coming
1:16:55 > 1:16:59to you from the Dome in Brighton.
1:16:59 > 1:17:01Hold onto your feather wing collars and your crocheted midi dirndls,
1:17:01 > 1:17:04everyone, for one heck of a recap.
1:17:04 > 1:17:07It was the year that France withdrew and Greece debuted.
1:17:07 > 1:17:09That's right, we are already using rhyming couplets!
1:17:09 > 1:17:16This stuff's just got real.
1:17:16 > 1:17:20# La-la la-la la la-la la la-la la la-la #.
1:17:20 > 1:17:23Italy refused to broadcast their own entry -
1:17:23 > 1:17:26but "Perche?", I hear you ask.
1:17:26 > 1:17:30An intense political referendum was taking place
1:17:30 > 1:17:33and they thought their song, Si - which roughly translates as Yes
1:17:33 > 1:17:35- would be a subliminal message...
1:17:35 > 1:17:42# Si, dolcemente dissi si.
1:17:42 > 1:17:50# Per provare un'emozione che non ho avuto mai.
1:17:51 > 1:17:53Unlike Portugal, who did broadcast their entry and did
1:17:53 > 1:18:00create quite a kerfuffle.
1:18:00 > 1:18:02In fact, Paulo's song helped to start a full-on
1:18:02 > 1:18:03revolution in Portugal.
1:18:03 > 1:18:05Let's have a blast of this anarchist entry.
1:18:05 > 1:18:07# Em silencio, amor.
1:18:07 > 1:18:10# Em tristeza e fim.
1:18:10 > 1:18:15Yeah, that's not exactly what I was expecting.
1:18:15 > 1:18:18Now, I know what you're thinking - what happens when all 17 songs had
1:18:18 > 1:18:20been performed and votes were being counted?
1:18:20 > 1:18:23That's right, they undergrounded and overgrounded and
1:18:23 > 1:18:24brought out the Wombles.
1:18:24 > 1:18:28# The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we.
1:18:28 > 1:18:32# Making good use of the things that we find.
1:18:32 > 1:18:37# Things that the everyday folks leave behind #.
1:18:37 > 1:18:39Now Ireland may have produced the show-stopping
1:18:39 > 1:18:42Riverdance 20 years later, but it's quite clear
1:18:42 > 1:18:44where they actually got their inspiration from.
1:18:44 > 1:18:46# And remember you're a Womble.
1:18:46 > 1:18:49# Remember you're a womble #.
1:18:49 > 1:18:54And now we come to the obvious highlight of the 1974 contest.
1:18:54 > 1:18:57Abba first tried to represent Sweden back in 1973 with the song Ring,
1:18:57 > 1:19:00Ring, but somebody must have missed that call, because they failed
1:19:00 > 1:19:05to qualify at their national selection show.
1:19:05 > 1:19:09Undeterred, they came back in '74 with a cracker of an upbeat track.
1:19:09 > 1:19:12And let's just say they absolutely nailed it.
1:19:12 > 1:19:16There's no doubt about it.
1:19:16 > 1:19:20The winning song of the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest is Abba.
1:19:20 > 1:19:22This victory catapulted Abba to worldwide stardom
1:19:22 > 1:19:26and legendary status.
1:19:26 > 1:19:29So as the Swedish conductor hilariously takes to the stage
1:19:29 > 1:19:32in a Napoleon outfit, let's just sit back and enjoy one
1:19:32 > 1:19:40of the most successful Eurovision songs of all time.
1:19:40 > 1:19:45# My, my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender.
1:19:45 > 1:19:53# Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way.
1:19:54 > 1:19:57# The history book on the shelf.
1:19:57 > 1:20:02# Is always repeating itself.
1:20:02 > 1:20:08# Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war.
1:20:08 > 1:20:15# Waterloo - promise to love you for ever more.
1:20:15 > 1:20:22# Waterloo - couldn't escape if I wanted to.
1:20:22 > 1:20:26# Waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you.
1:20:26 > 1:20:28# Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
1:20:28 > 1:20:36# Waterloo - finally facing my Waterloo.
1:20:38 > 1:20:44# My, my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger.
1:20:44 > 1:20:52# Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight.
1:20:52 > 1:20:56# So how could I ever refuse?
1:20:56 > 1:21:00# I feel like I win when I lose.
1:21:00 > 1:21:07# Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war.
1:21:07 > 1:21:15# Waterloo - promise to love you for ever more.
1:21:15 > 1:21:20# Waterloo - couldn't escape if I wanted to.
1:21:20 > 1:21:26# Waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you.
1:21:26 > 1:21:29# Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
1:21:29 > 1:21:35# Waterloo - finally facing my Waterloo.
1:21:35 > 1:21:37# So how could I ever refuse?
1:21:37 > 1:21:45# I feel like I win when I lose.
1:21:45 > 1:21:48# Waterloo - couldn't escape if I wanted to.
1:21:48 > 1:21:52# Waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you.
1:21:52 > 1:21:53# Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
1:21:53 > 1:21:59# Waterloo - finally facing my Waterloo.
1:21:59 > 1:22:01# Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh.
1:22:01 > 1:22:04# Waterloo - knowing my fate is to be with you.
1:22:04 > 1:22:07# Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
1:22:07 > 1:22:09# Waterloo - finally facing my Waterloo #.
1:22:09 > 1:22:17CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.
1:22:27 > 1:22:33Guys, I don't say it again, this is the actual stage where Abba stood
1:22:33 > 1:22:38can still see the imprint of the platform boots!
1:22:38 > 1:22:40Some wonderful images from the Eurovision of 1974
1:22:40 > 1:22:46ending of course with Abba winning the contest.
1:22:46 > 1:22:49And that was the last time we mention Abba in this
1:22:49 > 1:22:50show, I guarantee you.
1:22:50 > 1:22:51Enough!
1:22:51 > 1:22:52Absolutely!

1:23:37 > 1:23:48send this year?Always on our minds. But who will win tonight?
