Jade Ewen: 'It's My Time'

If you're going to select your Eurovision hopeful via an X Factor-style talent contest, you're probably going to end up with an X Factor-style singer. Step forward Jade Ewen, a mighty-lunged showbiz trouper whose CV includes everything from West End shows to The Bill to a stint in a flop girlband.

Equally, if you're going to ask Andrew Lloyd Webber and Diane Warren to write a song for your X Factor-style talent contest, you're probably going to end up with something that sounds like an X Factor winner's song crossed with a show tune. "I've got the will, I've earned the right," croons Ewen before the bombast begins, "to show you it's my time tonight". Overblown, old-fashioned and shamelessly sentimental, this could be just what Eurovision ordered.
