United Kingdom in EuroMusic Song Contest 2

The United Kingdom participated in the second edition of the EuroMusic Song Contest. The British broadcaster, BBC, was responsible for their act.

Selection process
For their second participation the British broadcaster decided to select their submission internally. For this edition, like the previous once, the EBU decided that the countries have to perform a song in their own national language. Because of this, the UK has to perform a song in the English language.

Later on, the song "I can" was selected as act for the second edition in Düsseldorf.

At EuroMusic Song Contest
The United Kingdom was drawn to perform twelfth, following Belgium and preceding France.

The United Kingdom was the top favorite to win this show due the bookmakers. However, they finished at the fifth place, with 95 points.

Voting
The voting during the final consisted of 50 percent public televoting and 50 percent from a jury deliberation. The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent. This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury could be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently.

Below is a breakdown of points awarded to United Kingdom and awarded by United Kingdom in the final.
