Lucie Jones will represent the UK at Eurovision in Kyiv this year, but are you happy with the result?
'ICYMI', the UK's entry for this year's Eurovision Song Contest was decided over the weekend, with the honour going to Lucie Jones' track Never Give Up On You.
The former X Factor finalist-turned-West-End-star won over five other former X Factor contestants on the BBC's Eurovision: You Decide show with her stripped back ballad, delivering a strong vocal on the night against fellow hopefuls Danyl Johnson, Holly Brewer, Olivia Garcia, Nate Simpson and Salena Mastroianni.
Have a listen to the song below:
Lucie will sing Never Give Up On You at Eurovision's Grand Final in Kyiv, Ukraine on May 13. Her entry has some hefty Eurovision weight behind it, co-written by 2013 winner Emmelie de Forest, but do you think the right song won?
Regardless of where Lucie places at Eurovision, she still has a good chance of landing on the Official Singles Chart. Look back at where all the previous UK Eurovision entries have landed on the chart, Bonnie Tyler, Blue, Jade Ewan and, of course, Scooch.

The UK will never, and I repeat NEVER, win the Eurovision again. Because for years, you look at the way the voting results had been and you'll find that a lot of countries had obviously had it in for us since the 2003 invasion of Iraq which resulted in "nul points" that year, and from that point on, the UK has seen dismal results. And also, what with last year's Brexit referendum, I think that could easily have a knock on effect this year too. We might as well pull out completely because as everybody knows, it's not even about whether the song is good or not. It's about politics now and not to mention voting for your neighbour as every country in Europe does, including the ones that aren't even part of Europe who still manage to represent their countries in that contest somehow.
