Song: "Love Will Set You Free"
Singer: Engelbert Humperdinck
Composers: Martin Terefe & Sacha Skarbek
Lyrics: Martin Terefe & Sacha Skarbek

Personal Opinion:
Song: If can't say his name wihtout making any mistake.Definately of one of the most diffucults names in Eurovision.Now, I think it came to all of us as a dissapointment and query why BBC picked him as the UK representative.After Blue last year,my personal winner last year,I thought that the BBC had finally realised that talented young artists with good songs are key for not being at least last.But BBC prefered to play it clever this year by sending Mr.Engelbert Humperdinck to the contest.And when we heard the song, we were left speechless.It's a classy eurovision back that cames back from the 60's and I didn't believe that I would say that but I like it! I don't know if "Love Will Set You Free" is as strong as it needed to compete with other ballads in this year's Eurovision,but I'm sure it will find many friends in its path.

Voice: Sometimes I wonder...Does he really need a microphone? It's hard to find words to describe who incredible his voice is, and I think you have to see him sing to realise it yourselves.

Song Presentation-Official Preview Video: This is how the decided to premiere their eurovision entry and the last of this season,even if San Marino have to change the lyrics on their "Facebook Song". In the video we're just in a studio were only a guitarist and Englelbert Humperdinck itself are presenting the song.Nice and simple video,but effective though.(link in the end)

Final Draw: United Kingdom earned the honour of opening the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2012.I'm sure that every one was like: "Oh,came on!We finally had a descent entry and we will be first?That's not fair!" And there actually right....

Uk's Voting History: From the countries that are already in the final since the semi-finals have not started,UK's votes are:

Spain(45p-15 times and 7p since 2000)

As for the juries this will definately be really high in their list.

Scoring-What I finally think: Well,even though that HURTS were BBC first choice,Engelbert seems a succesful alternative and that will be proved on Saturday's final.My scoring: 9/10 for the music,8/10 for the lyrics,10/10 for his interpretation and 9/10 for the videoclio
