Bonnie Tyler - Believe in me (UK - Eurovision 2013)

Last year, the UK chose an old singing legend, gave him a ballad and sent him of to Baku; things didn’t go too well. This year, the UK are doing the same thing, only this time sending ‘Total eclipse of the heart’ superstar Bonnie Tyler. Bonnie doesn’t expect to win, stating that it is ‘too political’, and is instead using it as as a platform to promote her new album. She has sold over 9 million records all over Europe and the world, so her European fan base could work in her favour. However, the song fails to show off her amazing vocals as some of her previous power ballads do. It may also sound too American country for the European public. Hopefully this will do well. Overall, a nice song and Bonnie sings it amazingly.
