Josh Dubovie
The U.K.’s song entry for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest will be sung by 19 year old Josh Dubovie from Basildon, Essex. The public voted for the winner out of six previously unknown acts that performed live on “Your Country Needs You!” on BBC One on Friday.
The six contestants performed the hit songs before the judges picked three to go on to sing the official Eurovision song written by Mike Stock and Pete Waterman called “That Sounds Good to Me.” The winner was then voted for by the public. Dubovie will now perform the record in Oslo, Norway in May in hopes to win the Eurovision Song Contest. Dubovie, who performs professionally at charity evenings, festivals and sports events, sung Jason Donovan’s “Too Many Broken Hearts.” In second place was Alexis Gerred, 20, from Biggin Hill, Kent, while Esma Akkilic, 17, from north London, came third. Dubovie said: “I’m so so happy, I really can’t believe it. Is this real?” He added: “I never believed I’d come this far. The minute I heard the song I thought it was a definite winner.”
