Wow, this is a hidden gem, it is different, and I am going to say although without much competition best UK song since 2000, her talent as a singer is incontestable here.
Very undervalued and ignored song. This performance has its flaws (the styling and the rap), but Lindsay sang wonderfully, and the tune was very contemporary and catchy.
Yes her wardrobe was a huge mistake, and I suppose they thought they had to fill the stage up somehow, but yet another mistake. Just look at her leather outfit here to compare what might have been. ruclips.net/video/dFm47vO0hDY/видео.html
I met her in August in Sheffield she was singing at a pub called the Barrel and she was really good she sung some cilia black songs, Gina G Just a little bit and this
Canción estupenda condenada al olvido por una Europa incomprensible. Tema poderoso y muy moderno con exquisita mezcla de pop, rap y lírica. Lindsay Dracass canta como quiere y hace una actuación tan espléndida! Su puesto décimo quinto con 28 puntos me parece insultante y terrorífico. Me encanta y me lleva más allá de nuestro sistema solar. Otros 12 Puntos!
I still love this song but for some reason the BBC didn't invest the £10 needed for Make up. she looked like a vampire she was that pale. this deserved top 10.
Some acts have been known to buy their own outfits, when the broadcaster's styling was deemed too bad. Such a pity, because Ms Dracass delivered a really fine performance.
I agree! The styling is poor too - she looks like she’s taking part in a year 6 talent contest rather than Eurovision. I get that she’s 16 here and it suited the ‘era’, however they could have jazzed her up a little 🤷🏻♀️ shame really because this is such a strong performance and shouldn’t rely on styling
It’s a shame she went a little pitchy because this is such a strong song and she has such a powerful song. One of my all time favourites that I still listen to now in 2021
She did desrve a much higher place. The song introduced some new elements which I think moved the contest along, much like Paul Oskar. Solid performance....and lets face it - she was so young and yet kept it all together....
This song is an absolute banger! Shame about the rap, styling and staging. Lindsay looked like she's been out on an all day drinking session and this her attempt on her mates karaoke machine at 2.34am :(
This songs shoes that Euphoria by Loreen wasn't anything groundbreaking. Loreen just had a better concept and package and was coming from a hyped country. Other than that Lindsay's song with a new remix and no rappers would be as nice as Euphoria!
hellenic81 Taking notes here: 1. use better concept 2. better package 3. new remix 4. no rappers => Groundbreaking Success! Do you really think that country matters, I don't
You've got a point, "Euphoria" was nothing groundbreaking in terms of sound, and it annoyed me how many people acted like it was. Loreen, on the other hand, took that sound and really made something of it.
I'm not a Eurovision buff but this was actually a really good tune!! Cant believe it didn't win!! She needed a stylist tho...she doesn't look polished enough
She looked like she was singing in a year 6 talent show 🤷🏻♀️ but then I suppose that suited the era and she was only 16. I agree they could have jazzed her up a bit
I feel she should have worn the outfit at the end of the music video that would have gone down better in this performance but hey this is one of the better songs form the UK of which I'm from so I guess I have bias 👍
I love this song. And loved it at the time. I really thought she could have won. As per usual the BBC couldn't have cared less and spent all of £2.50 on the staging. Hitting the note at the end like she does is something I'll always remember.
I think the bad days for UK began with Jemini. This is actually a good song, would surely have done better if just she hadn't sung off tune that much. I mean both 1999, 2001 and 2002 were great songs. 2000 was simply awful, though.
Even in 2023 22 years on this song was clearly ahead of its time, the tune, beat and vocals all come together really well. Only drawback was the staging, the pound land chavvy outfits and awful/unnecessary rap bridge. But its one of my fav UK entries over the past 20 or so years. Sadly it was ignored and overseen by the dark periods of the balkan bloc voting period between 2000-2008 where sadly we were knocked to one side by the neighbouring televoting!
+The Showster Nah, the song just wasn't good enough to stand out. It didn't come last either, more like mid-table. Also, the UK entered a good song the year after this and finished 3rd, so don't be so quick to blame politics.
Nothing had happened at this point of the year in the middle east. Eurovision was in May that year and the middle east conflict started over a year later because of 9/11 which had happened in September.
The singing was BAD!!! The music was BAD!!! The choreography was BAD!!! The Preformence was BAD!!! The worst song that beautiful spring evening in Copenhagen, the capital of the beautiful country, Denmark.
I think... You don´t have a truth. I think there was more worse performances and songs than this. And according by me, there was to many songs with bad melody what I can hear in Eurovision.

Not gonna lie. That was my favourite song in 2001
She is from my home city..and she is still going strong in her career
I believe you 😛
@@darrenrichards7978 so glad to read your lines! She was in my Top-5 that year 🌹
Mine too
Mine too! 💛
This was great...deserved a much higher place and she hit the note at the end..fantastic
one of the best UK entries EVER!
Saw her performing at our local pub last night. Still an amazing voice!
Which pub is that? I want to see her toooo
One of the best united Kingdom ESC songs of all time 👍
Wow that high note at the end took some hitting! Well done Miss Dracass!
Wow, this is a hidden gem, it is different, and I am going to say although without much competition best UK song since 2000, her talent as a singer is incontestable here.
Most underrated song ever!

I agree the leather outfit would've stood out but no some idiot wardrobe git saw chavs and said lets use that.
Poor lindsey.
Heard her new updated version
Great tune, with awesome vocals
I met her in August in Sheffield she was singing at a pub called the Barrel and she was really good she sung some cilia black songs, Gina G Just a little bit and this

I loved how wogan rejoiced at how she hit that final note on the UK narration - he was so pleased for her. RIP Eurovision legend
The Norwegian narrator mentioned the same!! 😁 Great voice Great hit

No problem. The men compensated that!

Dressed by Primark
A fantastic song. Lindsay has a fantastic voice.
Great song. Great voice.
She did so well with a difficult song and a brutal soul-less stage!
Great melody. Really Like the song. Greetings from German fan
Who is here 2021? How the hell did this song not win? Oh because it was the UK. Any other country this song would have smashed it!
Agreee
I'm agree! It is not real song!!!
It's amazing! I wander the same thing..
number 1 of Eurovision Song Contest for me
It’s a shame she went a little pitchy because this is such a strong song and she has such a powerful song. One of my all time favourites that I still listen to now in 2021
This deserved to be in the top 5
Magnifique chanson qui à l époque a été sous estimée
I really love this

there was really something mysterious about Loreen, Lindsay had the tracksuit,
you are delusional
This should have won that year.
This is a television show. The song and the performance were good enough to win, the looks weren't.
The girl was pretty enough but she did look a bit shabbily dressed..
One of our best entries but 2001 was an odd year and still no idea about why the winning song won.
I'm not a Eurovision buff but this was actually a really good tune!! Cant believe it didn't win!! She needed a stylist tho...she doesn't look polished enough
True. Beautiful voice but dressed like a chav outside McDonalds.
She looked like she was singing in a year 6 talent show 🤷🏻♀️ but then I suppose that suited the era and she was only 16.
I agree they could have jazzed her up a bit
I liked this - didn't deserve to come low down - but better than the crap the UK has nowadays in Eurovision
Cool hit from Eurovision
Way better than the winner that year!!!!
If this was Russia this would have come 3rd or something
You be strong onenooo you keep pushing onenooo :'D
I saw Keiinos rapper!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Such a shame her voice broke slightly... because it was great!
came 15th i think
16 years old .check out lynsey dracass you tube 2019.
the best uk entry, it should have won
I feel she should have worn the outfit at the end of the music video that would have gone down better in this performance but hey this is one of the better songs form the UK of which I'm from so I guess I have bias 👍
In the music video she had the red outfit...was the costume deisnger lazy?
Her name is Liz
not bad. then again I liked Too Tricky and they finished 2nd bottom
She was 16 here-
whatever happened to her? did she have a Career after this?
the best part part is from 0:11 to 0:27
Love this song, she was only 17 bless her. Not sure why they dressed her like a Chav!
2021
Also It got 2 and 3s....this song should've been higher
Yeah why bbc give her a Tracksuit, in the music video she has a Red and black outfit? Anyone gonna explain
I love this song. And loved it at the time. I really thought she could have won. As per usual the BBC couldn't have cared less and spent all of £2.50 on the staging. Hitting the note at the end like she does is something I'll always remember.

Watch the piano edition
The only thing that fell in 2001 was europes pathetic scoring of this sensational song. Our 🏴beautiful Lindsay x
Very 2001
Steps..? Our next hope
Even in 2023 22 years on this song was clearly ahead of its time, the tune, beat and vocals all come together really well. Only drawback was the staging, the pound land chavvy outfits and awful/unnecessary rap bridge. But its one of my fav UK entries over the past 20 or so years.

Should of won
Whatever happend to her, she kinda drop off the radar never done anything else?
A super song and much better than the trash that won!
My mom knows her
She sounds like Whitney Houston
The rap parts ruined the song.
+Messylin word
Messylin For me,with rap is better
I agree, without the rap, it may have fared better, I said that in 2001, and still hold that view in 2020
What are the names of these two rapers singing with Lindsay, I wonder?
Why did they dress her like a chav?
I really think Luke Galliano should have represented us in 2001. His song To Die For would have done much better.
😂😂😂 Well, she’s off the Arborthorne Estate in Sheffield! 😬 I think they were dressing her “young and hip”? But it kinda failed..
In the music video she has a red outfit
Love this song, would’ve been so much better without the rapping
I've always felt the same
The best part is from 0:00 to 0:00
I always felt the rapping ruined this song - it's death knell
Have you seen the new version felt like a step up
@@Dim4323 I've heard it and yes it is better
United Kingdoms last good song before "the crap period" begins!😆👍
Well we came 3rd a year later
😂
UK's collapse in ESC started this year with this song.
But one year after this (2002) we sent Jessica Garlick and came 2nd..
@@jackoli6519 Malta came 2nd . UK came 3rd
2003 was the start, in my opinion
DIdn't know Eminem was on this
No country had a good song that year
Great song, awful staging
came last because of the UK's involvement in the middle east in that year alongside the US.
The Showster Came 15th out of 22. Most countries in Europe aren't invested in the Middle East. But what a terrible song!
+The Showster Nah, the song just wasn't good enough to stand out. It didn't come last either, more like mid-table. Also, the UK entered a good song the year after this and finished 3rd, so don't be so quick to blame politics.

No it was 15th place.
Cause...i dont know maybe it didn't engage the public
The singing was BAD!!!
The music was BAD!!!
The choreography was BAD!!!
The Preformence was BAD!!!
The worst song that beautiful spring evening in Copenhagen, the capital of the beautiful country, Denmark.

If it was so bad then it would have come last. Where as it came mid table so was as bad as your saying
