  • She was amazing!

  • She made the UK proud!!! well done JADE.

  • its ok she was nervous...she is young and Eurovision is a big deal...brava jade!

  • i felt really sorry for her when she walked into the violinnist

  • Watch Jades NEW VIDEO for "My Man" on Youtube now! :D

  • she has an amazing voice.

    better than Alexandra; but she's on the same level as Leonaa imo! both are amazing.

    <333

  • Jade actually did better here than she did in teh final..no off key focals, and no walking into the violinist.

  • yea i agree, but rehersing and then singing in front of the whole of Europe are two completely different things lol

  • yes but you have to add in to the fact that in this rehearsal she wasn't performing infront of 20,000 people, plus over 100 million people at home.

    she was nervous in the final , i dont blame her!

  • @JippersinCornwall Totally agree. I said to my Uncle (who watches it) If she performed on the final like she performed here then she probably would of come 2nd, or even 1st!!

  • Why did they use an impressionist for both vocals and piano?

  • Just piano as Andrew Lloyd Webber wasn't there for rehearsal..not that he needs it.

  • I suppose everyone feels a bit silly now, she did great in the competition, and deserved it.....you can't judge Europes tastes and put them all into one catagory....it's not all camp euro-pop!

  • well said

  • after song she could say Merry Christmas and happy New year...

    song is not for Eurovision

  • You are right .

    This is not a musical .

  • if she was win on X-factor its doesnt mean that she will succeed on ESC...

    but one is true...she have very good voice!

  • she didn't win x-factor, wasn't even on it.

  • ups my bad...

  • its ok, she's quite similar to the person who did win xfactor so its easy to get them mixed up :)

  • Yes her voice his very good but it is not the better song to ESC --'

  • 1) I didn't realise Eurovision had to have a particular type of song!

    2) I didn't realise you were the one who decides it!

  • she is god and bla bla but 1) we dont have all the same taste 2)i rather chose more energic song like Ukraine for ESC not lullaby like this or our song for ESC

  • Yno what mate...I'm going to ignore you cos ur such an immature yank

  • fuck off man...nobody wants you here. why be racist? Why? is it fun? fuck you you fucking pillock and go suck a dick

  • I think the nerves got the better of her on the night, because that is very much the best performance by her ive seen.

  • May I ask your problem? Jade is English through and through and according to your profile you are a yank...so just drop it....you are a very unsavoury character....

  • She was amazing !! Dont know why there is so much racism going on? If some people DONT like multiculturism they can get stuffed because it's the world live in and it wont ever change. Multiculturism has opened up alot of people's eyes therefore there is less ignorance and more awareness of things !

  • This was better than the actuarial live performance . Considering she didn't get knocked on the arm. She seems more confident in this one.

  • My thoughts exactly.

  • im staying lol seriously you are so sad if you think the U.K is just for whites virtually every single country in the world has atleast more than 1 race its just a case of that some countries have more culture than others america has a big hispanic comunity and thailand has some chinese and malaysian in it also the philipinos are quite spread out and so are the british and almost every single country has a person from the U.K so to say that the U.K should just be for whites is stupid

  • yet again you must be stupid to think that commenting on youtube videos will solve your so called problem so you can take your racial stereotypes and you can STICK THEM!!! and if your interested im a quarter english a quarter irish a quarter thai and a quarter vietnamese

  • again nothing to do with eurovision

  • seriously what does your comments have to do with eurovision? also you must be stupid if you think that every single black person in the U.K are in gangs and all that crap seriously go complain on some vid about the BNP or something not this

  • what was the point of that comment?

  • AMAZING!!! and what a voice! :O :D

  • Thank you 310796! HOPE LEONA LEWIS IS GOING TO PERFORM NEXT YEAR!

  • AGREE!

  • I'd say she did a much better vocal performance in her rehersal, which is unfortunate but she still did really well for 5th!

  • U did the whole of the UK proud!

  • Jade was defo the best singer in the eurovision song contest this year! i personally feel that Jade Ewen is a much better singer than Leona Lewis or Alexandra Burke! GO JADE!! 5th was great!! but i think you deserved a higher place!! you deserved to win!! Jade rocks!!

  • go jade 5th place!!!

    2010 oslo!

  • Yeah! Next year it's going to be Leona Lewis!!! Who's with me?

  • im with u... i fink its better if jade ewen and leona lewis perform...

  • i agree lets send her next year :) or even alexandra burke shes not been heard of since she won xfactor :L shel be on it next ha

  • The best vocal this year! Really good live.

    Shes a star.

  • i cant believe we came came 5th! go jade!

  • goodness. amazing vocals! all the best!

  • im watching eurovision now, and the thing is that there is loadsssss of balads!

    tbf- this wont stand out.

    but she is the best uk entry in agesss,

    go jade!

  • I don't know if we can have famous people in it. But it would be great if we could.

  • Jades amazing, i think we might do well this year, but i really dont get what this new voting system is all about?

  • i love jade....but why cant we have someone like leona lewis or girls aloud??

  • Is there a video of Jade`s third rehearsal?

  • Eurovision is never fair all the countries vote for there friends :|

  • uuuuf so many ballads this year lol

    As for Jade's voice well yeah she definately has a good one, but the prob is that its quite similar to so many other singers that one cannot tell the difference

    I diont think this is a winning song for a contest like eurovision

  • wonderful voice!! go UK!!!

  • look whos a EXPERT music producer, oh wait you are'nt!

  • Find it a bit boring. Looks like the kind of thing Simon Cowell would choose yet again. Nothing like the kind of originality the UK music industry has produced. I liked Scooch better with their fun song than the boring ballad that the UK has now. It's all political voting than anything to do with the songs. Might as well call it the East European song contest. We should just have fun and treat it as the joke that it is.

  • Well, this is the first year I'm voting for the UK.

  • There is no denying no matter what country you come from, that Jade without a doubt is the best SINGER in the whole competition this year. I'll admit the song isn't too good, but her voice more than sells it, so if she doesn't get in the top 5 or 6, then obviously this "new voting system" will be just as pointless as the voting has been in recent years

  • We could sing last year too - Andy did not deserve that last place, he put on a great performance. And don't forget James Fox.

  • Not even close - whether Albania get higher marks or not (diasporic voiting and all that) this is by far a superior song and an amazing performance. I'm not saying that because I'm from the UK either - it is the simple truth. Whatever happens this year, we already have a moral victory as this outshines pretty much everything in the competition (Malta is the biggest competition).

  • No not malta, but Iceland.

    many people will vote for iceland, even though it's not so good

  • What a lovely, hair-raising song! Too bad Europe can't appreciate good ballads and the fact that the UK is in the Big Four won't help them win... One of my favourites this year!

  • Comment removed

  • Go get em Jade! Our best chance ever!

  • THe x factor.

  • This girl is realy great,and this is just the kind of song,that should win.If europes top-charting songs are these kind.Why this songs don't win it.ANyway i will vote for u.k,i love the singer the song,and the country.From albania,guys an advice,the albanian girl who sings is 16,she won the x facto here 15,and she sings great listen to the song,i think she is great too.She belts notes,doesn't shake the body.

  • She is 17 :)

  • shes 21 is she not

  • Who's 17,The Albanian girl is 16,Jade said she is 21 in an interview.I just wonder why she didn't audition.

  • The albanian girl is 17

    She was born on the 5th of February 1992

    Look it up on wikipedia and imdb

  • This is a beautiful song and song very well. What this contest lacks is talent! The Uk has deliverd this and I hope it wins.

    12 From YOUR NEIGHBOURS The Netherlands!!!!!!!

  • Aaaaah, you really think of us as neighbours? That really did bring a smile. I happen to love the Netherlands, so I am hoping that more of your countryment like the UK entry too, but it's a shame you did not qualify. I think if political voting continues, the West will have to stop being so fair and just vote for the West hehehe.

  • It's not ridiculous, the attitude of many countries towards the UK is poor and it's because of OUR actions. Stock market success is not a gauge by which you can assess perceptions of the UK from other countries around the world. I don't think we're a deluded backwater and I am very proud to be British, but at the same time, I understand why other countries dislike the way we constantly interfere in international affairs with an attitude that smacks as - "Listen to Britain, we know better!"

  • Big countrys like America, Australia, Canada etc like us. Just no countrys in europe lol.

  • im sorry i posted that i was just a chain and i didnt mean it im sorry

  • WOW!! So good!

  • i am so glad there's a judging panel this year :) 50% the panel and 50% countries own votes as years before. this might help jade to win :) because usually people vote for neighbours, and being an island we dont usually get that many. but now :D

  • oh right, sorry :)

  • I have actually noticed something. Jade is the only mixed race or black person in eurovision this year. she's so good! :D I actually think we'll do pretty well this year. we cant do much worse.

  • Nope there is a mixed race man singing with that woman too, can't remember the country, Albania, Armenia or Azerbajan i think :D.

  • He is not mixed race though

  • I don't think black/mixed race entrants are particularly well received in the Euro. The further east you go the more racist it seems to get!

    Good on the UK for proudly reflecting it's multicultural society, an example to all of Europe.

  • Yes I agree with you. And I also think that if Yohanna from Iceland wasn't all blonde/blue-eyed people wouldn't like her that much.

    Don't pretend your blind, it's true.

  • Really a very stunning voice!

  • i want greece or england to win!!!!!!who has the same opinin with me???

  • She has a great voice, but blimey, hope the sound quality will be a bit better on Saturday - sounds like it's under water! Sort it out sound technician!

  • I really think that Jade can do it but this is a dreary song but thankfully she has so much talent that she might pull it off but with ALW playing the piano on stage will give her a boost and hopefully a few votes in the UK's direction

  • I'm glad shes singing at a good time in eurovision near the end 23rd she ahs more of a chance of dong well. I hope she get top 10 or maybe top 5. This osng is beautiful I think she has the best female voiceout of all of the ballads

  • Yes I agree

    She is the best singer in the contest, with distance!

  • She sings like an angel!

    Good luck UK! Good luck Jade! I love your voice and your preformance!

  • I think she as adorable.

    What a lovely voice and she has the face of an angel.

  • good luck everyome in the eurovision

    i'm from the uk so good luck jade

  • she's nice, and her voice is really good.

  • By the way....

    Please don't let Greece win.

    It's horrendous and he needs clothes that fit.

  • Wow. Eurovision might make a success of someone's career!

    I think if she won it, she'd have the best chance of making a mahoosive career.

    I am inclined to think she should win purely on that basis alone. She's fucking talented and demonstrates the largest potential from this year's contestants by far....She could seeeeeeriously go the distance.

  • what like abba you mean? :S

  • agreed dont like the song, but this girl can bloody sing puts alexandra burke to shame

  • She would be a worthy winner. Estonia, Iceland and Malta also. I think it will be Norway this year however. Anything as long as it's not the terrible Greek cheesecake.

  • i think we've a better chance this year :P

  • don't like the song. She has a good voice though.

  • Bravo Jade !

  • Jade is an amazing singer :)

    GOOD LUCK for Saturday, I know your leaving the country today to travel to Russia!

    xxx

  • great voice!!!

  • i'm from Spain and i gotta say that i love this song and she has a beautiful voice. Olé!!!

  • Thank you msirgof for that comment ^^^

  • We must come in at least the top 5 this year! If not it will be a tragedy as Jade is the best singer EVER on Eurovision. I don't think they should have given someone of her talent a cheesy ballad though as, when she sung Beyonce - Deja Vu, she showed she could sing and DANCE. Then we would have blown everyone out of the compition. Still I think and hope we have a good chance. :)

  • awesome stage!!

  • best entry for UK in many years,,,,the strongest singer by far...Iceland a close second in terms of voice along with Chiara. However, my fav song is Boz & Herz. I hope UK is in the top 5. Has to be.

  • MAlta 2010

  • I AM SOO CHUFFED that we have such a good entry this year!!! :D:D:D

  • Jade you have agreat voice, Go out there and show the world what wounderful Talent the United Kingdom has.

    Jade has The X Factor

  • Win or lose on Saturday Jade has been a fantastic ambassador for our country and I'm very proud of her!

  • I think Jade has been very brave for taking on the responsibility of being the UK entry of Eurovision when it has become such an embarrassing thing to apply for over the past decade or so. She has the voice to be very well respected and I think it was a brilliant idea to get someone like her to represent our country and move it away from what is currently used to sending out there. I actually believe, despite the song being a bit boring, we will at least be higher in the scores than usual.

  • I agree the song is sooooooo cheesy but Jade does sing fantastically...

    to those who say it's boring well compare it to UK's more recent entries. LAst year Scooch, the ridiculous flight attendants attemtping as many sexual euphemisms as possilbe. The year before Daz Sampson, the paedophilic school teacher surrounded by writhing school girls.

    I think it just shows that the UK has taken the ESC seriously this year and has grown up a bit...

  • i am a huge LLoyd Webber fan and Jade sings it well (It was such a fix!!)

    but the song is SOOOOOOOO RUBBISH!!!!!!!

  • i love jade. i hope she does well. best song!

  • It's not a boring song. It's the best song of the year!!!

    I don't know if UK will win or not, but i'm sure that if they don't win, they will be second or get a good position.

    By the moment, 12 points from Spain!!! I will give you some votes :=)!

    Good luck UK!!! You're the best country this year!!!

  • If it's boring, that's more a reflection of your attention span, than a reliable critique of the song.

    UK newspapers don't want us to win Eurovision, because we'd have to pay for it haha.

    This place never ceases to amaze me. I think these people would rather we lived in a debtless world filled with boredom and chronic depression. Enthusiasm much?

  • The Finals are already this coming Saturday (Moscow time, early, early morning in the Asia-Pacific)... And I'm confident that Jade will do it. Since 2001, Eastern European countries have been dominating. I just hope with more honest voting, this will definitely be Jade's time.

    And for those who don't like this song at all, especially if you're from the UK (based on some comments that I've read):

    Don't comment on this video. Just go to other videos and enjoy the other favorites.

  • Jade is amazing! but like most of our other singers over the years, she won't win! western europe never win! i don't understand how the weirdest of the act win and acts like her don't. it's messed up tbh. i still wish her all the luck. GO UK xD

  • jade has a good voice,unlike last years contestants from U.K.....

  • she's so gorgeous:)

  • Her voice is great, but the song is boring((((((

  • She's very good, very good voice. Only problem is the song is a lil (ok, alot) repetitive.

    Oh, AND the rest of Europe hates us. We won't do well, and we'll probably be at the bottom again. Which she shouldn't be, she's amazingly talented, much better than most that have entered.

    Unfortunately, that's the way it is, people throughout europe vote politically in this, and not for the best ones.

  • The rest of Europe doesn't hate UK, for Christs' shake! UK is one of the most important and influencial countries of the continent- jealous maybe, hate surely not. Besides, the song is awsome and will get many votes and is allready first on polls, although I do believe France will win.

  • We're not jealous, but we don't hate you either ;)

  • Why is the body a woman? Plus how can she kill me if she's dead? If she is a 'ghost' all they can do is float around and say 'oooooooooooo i'm a scary ghost!'

  • well, i think she is one of the best singers this year and i think she will b on top 5 GO GO GO UK - well done this year , i love her voice -------- 12 points from albania xxxxx

  • WINNER!

  • Jade looks and sounds remarkably like that old banger Shirley Bassey. Hasnyone else noticed that? I wonder if they are related. Even the song sounds like something from the 1950s.

  • Anyway, if I had to stick my neck out and take a guess, I would guess that the UK will finished 11th or 12th. We have a strong entry this year that has been well received by countries all over Europe and has had lots of positive comments from the other contestants too. However, there are lots of really good songs in this year, so I don't think we will make it into the top 10, even if the bookies think that we are amongst the favourites to win.

  • That would be a pretty good position considering our previous positions

  • I wish I could sing like her

    just scream out loud, and still sound good

  • Sebtastical, your attitude is the problem with most British people, you think of johnny foreigner as being the outsider, but as far as Europe is concerned WE are the outsiders. Just because Britain likes to play shoot the Taliban with the Americans does not make us big players on the world stage and it's that kind of arrogant attitutde that makes so many people in Europe and the rest of the world hate us so much,

  • don't forget to think - shoot the taliban is about anti-terrorism, the siding with USA is the war in Iraq , wrong or right - Taliban attack other Western countries, they are a terrorist organisation who are SEPARATE to the Iraq war for the most post, and have publically stated they wish to bring down the WEST, that included Europe where they have commited attrocities too. think

  • Comment removed

  • where have u been the past year?! the UK have taken it more seriously than we have in years.

    andrew lloyd webber... dianne warren... a tv series dedicated to finding a singer?

    if thats not effort wat is?

  • My mistake, was looking at odds on countries it is 'expected' to be number 1 in. Odds for the contest are suprising though: A bookies poll of the Eurozone has come up with the following as the list of favourites:

    Norway (Favourite to win)

    Greece

    Turkey

    Bosnia-Herzegovina

    United Kingdom

    Azerbaijan

    I am suprised, because like you, I don't actually think we will win, I expect us to get into the low points, but to be newar the top half of the leaderboard we will need 10s and 12s

  • It's reached 322 in the Russian chart and 77 in ours so far... Number 1???

  • Well I'm sure we'll all see on Saturday. Can't see it getting anywhere with the political voting either. Shame.

  • And as I said before, the number of votes cast is testament to the interest that has been raised through ALWs involvement in the show, regardless of whether there was a selection of song or not. And I might remind you that the UK song has already reached number 1 in some countries charts!!!!

  • I`m interested to know number 1 in which countries?

  • tragicistan.

  • You might say that the song isn't good enough, but if you look at the coverage of the UK entry from other countries in Europe, the only thing that interests them is the fact that ALW wrote the song and that he is gong to be gracing the Eurovision stage. I think you are massively underestimating just what a massive star ALW is across Europe, he is one of the worlds most successful living songwriters and his musicals are performed in almost every major European capital.

  • And that's where the problem lies. The song isn't a good one or should I say, not ideal for the Eurovision. Jade has a fantastic voice and deserved to be picked, but it's not the right song to win.

  • Jovial, I deal in facts and have actually looked at the viewing and voting stats for the show. For a prime time weekend TV show, Your Country Needs You had a huge audience share, even beating ITV and even if the voting figures don'tt impress you, the fact is that compared with other TV shows the voting record was enormous.

  • Comment removed

  • crazydancing84 I think she's right. lol.

    If it was only 17-18% of the UK public - then 82-83% of them may have voted differently. That's massive, not what you're claiming.

    Is isn't a good song. It's lame. She won't win. Won't come in the top 10.  Guaranteed.

  • Loopy Leanne - All I can say is that you have my sympathy... it must be a sad life being so cynical.

  • 10million votes - probably 1 million people with their finger on redial. Massive? Not likely.

  • Loopy Leanne - Just to point out that over 10 million votes were cast on the final of Your Country Needs You, which is the highest number of votes cast for a UK Eurovision selection show in many years, so your claim that most people in the UK would not have voted for the song is nonsense because the numbers speak for themselves. 10 million votes equates to roughly 17 or 18% of the entire UK population voting once each, that's MASSIVE.

  • Nil points UK

  • WRONG!

    Uk is a vgood entrie, and is our best for years.

  • Wrong yourself. If that's our best entRY for years, where you been staying? It's dire. Disneyesque pap. Bleugh.

  • It's not a good song. She sings it ok, but ALW should stick to musicals. I'm from the UK and I do not like this song. The majority of the UK would NOT have picked this song, only ALW fans voted for this. This is NOT a winning song. Greece all the way I'm afraid.

  • There wasn't a choice on songs, just the artist.

  • I'm just getting a little fed up of people commenting that this song belongs in a musical. Yes, Andrew Lloyd Webber has written the song, but that doesn't instantly mean it belongs in a West End show. If it was some random songwriter who knobody knows, they wouldn't even be saying it. I'm just getting a sense that because the UK has come up with a strong entry this year, that people are looking for any excuse to criticise it, when actually, there's not really much wrong with it.

  • Sakis Rouvas -Greece...We love you Sakiiiiiiis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Jade, you are a big talent.

  • No chance of us winning as always these days. I don't like the song though. I reckon Greece should win :)
