-	Andrew Lloyd Webber seeks a performer or performers to sing a song - which he would write the music and Diane Warren would write the lyrics for - to represent the UK at the [[Eurovision Song Contest|Eurovision Song Contest]]. It started with a reality show style talent hunt and six finalists were chosen. The Emperors of Soul, The Twins, Mark, Jade, Charlotte and Damien were the six acts. For the first and second weeks they would perform a song and then the panel gave their critical view. The phone lines were then opened for you, the great British public, to vote. The votes were then totalled up and the bottom two were then left on stage for Andrew to decide who he wished to keep in the contest. The semi-final saw each contestant having to sing twice with the phone lines opening after each act had sung once. In the final, Dima Bilan (last year's Eurovision winner) was invited into the studio to sing his winning entry and the final three sung a song of their choice, their best song of the series and their version of Andrew and Diane's song "My Time." The lines were opened after the first song and the winner was announced who then reprised their version of the song they would be singing in Moscow.	+
