This is a question that I ask myself sometimes. You may ask why? Well, because there are many countries which have a solid music industry with great artists like United Kingdom or Germany,etc and don't choose to send the best singers at Eurovision like other countries. To my surprise, this year is different. This is due to the UK selection for Eurovision. Jade Ewen who will represent UK in the contest with the song "My time" composed and written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, a well-known English composer of musical theatre. The other writter of this song is Diane Warren. Jade is pretty famous in UK, she being an actress as well, having the role of Nala from The Lion King as a debut.
In 2005, Ewen became a member of the R&B group Trinity Stone, which was signed to Sony BMG; the group had moderate succes in UK, Ireland and Russia with a few music singles. Trinity Stone also worked with Ne-Yo for the single "Real Love", they were produced by famous names like Grammy-award winning Brian Rawling and Cee-Lo Green. So, we can say that she has some experience and it is for the first time after many years when UK send an important artist at Eurovision.
Let's hope that it isn't an accident and that will see in the future more popular artists at this prestigious contest...
