United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest 2003
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jemini, the UK's entry for the 2003 Eurovision Song Contest, scored nul points. This was the first time a UK entry had failed to score.
The UK selection contest, A Song For Europe, was held on March 2nd 2003 and was hosted by Terry Wogan. The final (disastrous) result was as follows:
1st - Cry baby by Jemini (68 points) 2nd - Help me by Emily Reed (64 points) 3rd - Ever since that night by Mimi (54 points) 4th - Now and forever by Simon Chapman (0 points)
Emily Reed went on to be a backing singer for Daz Sampson in the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest. Simon Chapman's entry was performed in the A Song for Europe semi-final by Esther Hart who went on to represent the Netherlands in the 2003 Eurovision Song Contest.
European anger at the UK's support for the US invasion of Iraq was blamed by some for this backlash against "anything British". The fact that the group sang out of tune because of technical issues might be a more accurate explanation.
