List of contestants from the UK national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest

Eurovision: You Decide was the most recent name of the BBC TV show broadcast to select the United Kingdom's entry into the Eurovision Song Contest.

Shows of similar formats have previously gone under several other names, including Festival of British Popular Songs, Eurovision Song Contest British Final, A Song For Europe, The Great British Song Contest, Eurovision: Making Your Mind Up and Eurovision: Your Decision. In 2011 the selection process was replaced by an internal BBC decision, but this process ended after 2015 with a revival of a national final for 2016 under a new name. The You Decide format was axed in September 2019 and an internal selection was used for the UK's 2020 participation.

This page lists the contestants for each year of the show; the winners of the contest are in bold-italics.

Competition

In 1957, 1959 and 1960, there were a series of televised heats prior to the final.

Postcard voting was used to choose the winner from 1965 to 1975. This had to be abandoned in 1971 due to a postal strike, with regional juries, made up of ordinary members of the public selecting the winner. Juries did the job from 1957 to 1964 and from 1976 to 1987. From 1988 onwards, with the exception of the internally selected entries (2011–15 and 2020–21), televoting has been organized ostensibly to choose the winner, although this result wasn't always followed. Panels of judges have also played a part in selecting finalists and the winners in various years since 2008.

Internal selections (2011–2015)

There was no televised national selection procedure for the UK Eurovision entrant from 2011 to 2015.

2011
Blue were selected to represent Britain in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 internally by the BBC, with the song "I Can", written by Duncan James, Lee Ryan, Ciaron Bell, Ben Collier, Ian Hope, Liam Keenan and 'StarSign'. ^[3] In place of a national final, a one-hour documentary following the groups preparations for Germany, entitled Eurovision: Your Country Needs Blue was broadcast by BBC One on 16 April 2011. ^[4]

2012
Engelbert Humperdinck was selected internally by the BBC to perform "Love Will Set You Free". The song was written by Grammy award-winning producer Martin Terefe and Ivor Novello winner Sacha Skarbek, who co-wrote the James Blunt hit "You're Beautiful". ^[5]

2013
An internal selection followed again in 2013, with Bonnie Tyler being chosen to represent the UK with the song "Believe in Me", written and composed by Desmond Child, Lauren Christy and Chris Braide.

2014
Another internal selection followed in 2014, with Molly being chosen to represent the UK with the song "Children of the Universe", co-written by herself and Swedish producer Anders Hansson. However, Smitten-Downes was a relatively unknown artist who was discovered through the BBC Introducing platform.

2015
A fifth internal selection took place in 2015, although the BBC accepted submissions from the public and song writing community. Electro Velvet were chosen to represent the UK with the song "Still in Love With You", co-written by Adrian Bax White and David Mindel, who had written many previous songs for the UK heats, his best result being two joint 2nd songs in 1982.

Notes and references

Notes

1. Gem were originally named Paris and released the single of their song under that name. To avoid international confusion, they were asked to come up with a different name for the Song for Europe contest.
2. Catherine Porter had two songs shortlisted for A Song for Europe 2000, both composed by herself and Tony Moore. Her composition "The Answer" was eliminated in the radio semi-final where it placed last (8th), however "Crazy" qualified in 1st place and thus progressed to the televised national final where it placed 3rd.
