Article here stating so... should get us noticed a bit more! You can hear the studio version of the song too, but it's still over three minutes long. Might be a stupid thing to say, but do you think they've realised it's 20 seconds too long?!

Oh wow fantastic that ALW will be on stage with Jade!

:o excellent!

I don't why will they vote for UK... the song is not such a great one... but since Andrew Lloyd Webber is a part of it.. and he is going to perform also.... that will be the reason to vote for the UK this year.

And the UK has been drawn 23rd out of 25 Finalists.

 

I.E. It stands more chance of picking up votes.

Don't mean to sound dense here, but does anybody have the actual official version of the song please? (like a Youtube link)... There are so many versions going around that I don't know which one is for the ESC! :cry:

The three minute Eurovision version hasn't been released yet. I'm reckoning they're going to shorten it from the end tbh, but then that'd mean getting rid of the massive note Jade sings at the end, which they can't really do...

When is the final final deadline for the 3 minute versions?? Loads of countries are still over 3 minutes ... France is still on 3:40, Switzerland on 3:18, and Lithuania is on 3:49! Unless the version in Russian has been shortened, I haven't heard it yet.

I think France have shortened theirs... not so sure about the others though!

Lithuania and France have already shortened theirs :D

Ah, I see. I can't wait to hear the shortened version! :D

France's new version is excellent; much better than their previous longer one. I can see them doing pretty well this year tbh... and starting strongly too with Spain and Belgium being the first two voters.

I said this, like the day after Jade had won. :P Still good stuff.
