Jade Ewen “It’s My Time” UK Eurovision Song Contest Entry Video and Rating

Posted by fjgirls in May 13th, 2009

Jade Ewen is representing the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 being held in Moscow with the finals this Saturday 16 May. The previous Eurovision song contest post has received a lot of interest we have to add “surprisingly”, Â hence the coverage of the UK entry, as we are a London UK based website, and do get all patriotic waving union jacks even if the contest is not our thing whatsoever!

A lot of hopes riding on Jade Ewens shoulders this weekend with this song “It’s My Time” as she carriers the Brit flag with hopes of a win or at least getting in the top 5. This song is written by non other than the legendary Andrew Lloyd Webber which does add some considerable weight to the proceedings. This will make the Euro judges sit up and take notice and show the Euro Community that we are officially taking this event very seriously, a criticism thatÂ has been levelled at our previous entries.

The Verdict.

First off the positives. She can sing, she has a voice, and she can sing well, there is talent here! More importantly she’s a performer, no good having a good voice if you don’t add some performance factor, passion Â and animation into the mix. She is very attractive as well, not compulsory for a singer but it does help . Andrew Lloyd Webber playing piano in the background, not sure that will have any sway with the judges if he does perform live, Â but if it helps why the hell not, asÂ the song Â was written by him. Song has a predictably slightly more classical operatic feel to it, as a result of the named input, and you could say a more Euro feel as well, and we feel this song may appeal to the Euro panel of judges at the Eurovision Song contest. We like the video, it matches the song, itsÂ very safe, and the pap scenes adds a bit of glitz and its very now and sums up the celeb obsessed culture that we currently live in. This video obviously will not be appearing at the live event!

Secondly the negatives. Do not like this song at all, vocally and lyrically its fine but everything else is neutral, bland , safe and just a bit dull. Â Lacking a bit of edge and passion with a hint of cheesiness coming in here and there, but nowhere near as bad as some entries which we will be subjected to this weekend. A conflict of interests here, a very safe euro sounding song but with talent in abundance.

Our ratingÂ is 2 stars out 5 for the song, but we have to add vocally for Jade Ewen 3 and half stars +++++++, she has got talent thatÂ really does needÂ to be pursued further at the expense of everything else!. But we also have to add, at present, she isÂ nowhere near as good as the likes of Leona Lewis……we have to stress “yet”!

It will be interesting to watch her perform this live in front of a massive Euro TV audience, thats the true test, pressure and nerves affects vocal chords. Will this song win or get in the top 3? We think despite our dismal song rating its very blandness may have that Eurovision appeal as our previous last years entry really was superb but just too sure fire confident and rocking and in everyones face for its own good, it summed up the vibe in the UK at the time as this tiny littleÂ country really was rocking, little did we know what was round the corner!

In summary Jade Ewen could surprise and with the Andrew Lloyd Webber song writing and presence and the title of the song “It’s My Time” could ring true, but just don’t bank on it. One things for sure, whether she comes first or last in this contest, this lady has a future in the music industry (based on this studio recording video)Â ……..thats a certainty.

A Jade EwenÂ tag has been added to theÂ ever expanding category list of female celebrities on this site as we feel we may be seeing more of her in the future. Â We wish her the best of luck!!!!
