    One of my favorite UK entries. Really love the Kylie Minogue vibes the song has.

    I think this is the first ever entry to score at least 100 points without a single set of 12 (this scored maximum 10 from 🇨🇭 and 🇹🇷). Other times this would happen prior to 2004:
    🇳🇴 Norway 1996 (114 points) - max. 10 from 🇸🇮, 🇳🇱 and 🇸🇪.
    🇸🇪 Sweden 2001 (100 points) - max. 10 from 🇩🇰.
    🇦🇹 Austria 2003 (101 points) - max. 10 from 🇮🇸 and 🇵🇹.

    Brilliant orchestra here, one of the best. Really amplifies the drum beat and lifts the feel of the song. Slightly faster tempo than the studio version too. A really simple understated performance that thoroughly deserved 4th place. I would have put it 3rd behind Norway and Germany. Bravo Vikki

      @@doggdogg6019 If you don't mind me asking, isn't that plagiarism? Did Vikki get permission from Secret Service to use the same 'sound' if you see what I mean? Could Secret Service have sued her for ripping off their song? Thanks for your reply all the same however.

    You’re from 2024 with staging tips? Staging? What? We need to stage the song as people judge the whole performance not just the song! Crap, we’re on in five minutes ….quick, grab a chair from the kitchen and we’ll make her dance around it. What? We need more? Ok put the backing singers right at the back but make sure she side walks in a dance to hide the ugly one, we’ll only let people see them at the very end. Get her to walk and sing to a new part of the stage for the key change. They are in dark blue so she’ll really pop in electric light blue. Scrap the wind machine, she has so much hairspray it won’t move anyway. Is this how they do it in 2024? Are we still winning or coming second in the 21st century?
