VICTORY TO TEAM UNITED KINGDOM

Summer USC was a thrilling battle between United Kingdom and their "Mercy" sung by Duffy and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and their "That is where I'll go" sung by Sibel. In the 2nd half of the live voting the leader was shifting almost after each individual vote and not until Hungary gave their 12p to Netherlands it was clear that Duffy had won with only 5 points margin. The United News Magazine was also able to see 6 of the top 10 song having received 5 STARS before the contest. A very satisfying result indeed. Also during the final there was 18 people attending live which was the highest number of live audience since spring 2006.

I would like to thank all on behalf of team UK for voting and making us win the competition for the first time! Our hard work, and new formula of Team UK has worked. Many thanks to other countries for sending great songs! However, to the other nations that decided to Boo any points that was given to the UK i say where is "the friendly nice compeititon" shame on you!! Probably explains why Kim has to leave Norway! Nevertheless thank you to my fellow tema mates of the UK and ountries like Greece, and portugal for voting for us! Look forward to seeing you in Cardiff Autumn 2008! xxx
