All together now…<\/p>\n

“It’s my time, it’s my time, my moment…”<\/em><\/p>\n

I promise I will try to avoid any more references to anyone’s time after this\u00a0–\u00a0as references to our song title\u00a0are getting increasingly irritating – and that was just in the UK press conference this afternoon!\u00a0 So, that’s given you a clue as to where I was following the first rehearsal of the final earlier today.<\/p>\n

The worldwide press were in attendance to welcome the UK delegation, with Jade, Andrew and Graham joined by Dianne Warren…<\/p>\n

\"fri-9-press\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"fri-8-press\"<\/p>\n

\"fri-11-press\"<\/p>\n

\"fri-10-press\"<\/p>\n

Some good questions were put to the panel – although to be fair most interest was all things to do with… ‘the \u00a0Lord’.\u00a0 He was asked why he was here – and he said that he had nothing to lose as the UK couldn’t do any worse than they did last year, finishing in last place.\u00a0 Good answer Andrew!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jade was also asked if she was a little jaded (see what I did there) about not getting as much exposure as the Lord… she suggested that she was here to sing and that all the talking could be done by everyone else!\u00a0 Nice one, Jade!<\/p>\n

I asked the final question of the press conference – quizzing the BBC delegation as to why they are suddenly making an effort that everyone\u00a0 – including Vladimir Putin – \u00a0is noticing.\u00a0 They suggested that they had always taken it seriously – well, really?\u00a0 Not so sure many of us would agree with that.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What we can agree on is that this delegation are all behind Jade and the song.\u00a0 As are we… and my mum and dad!<\/p>\n

BTW: sorry Mum, no tickets for Oliver!<\/em> – despite establishing eye contact with ‘the Lord’, that wasn’t enough!\u00a0 If Jade wins I’ll send you and Helen to London for the wekeend to see it.\u00a0 Blimey, I must think that the UK will win this year? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
