UK: Joe & Jake to Stockholm with "You're Not Alone"

The BBC national final of "Eurovision: You Decide" took place yesterday in London at the O2 Forum to find out who will represent the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 in Stockholm. Joe and Jake have won the national selection with their song "You're Not Alone".

The show was hosted by Mel Giedroyc. Måns Zelmerlöw, who have won the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 in Vienna with "Heroes", opened the show. As interval act performed Katrina Leskanich the winning song "Love Shine A Light" from 1997.

This was the Expert Panel:

Carrie Grant (Vocal coach and television presenter).
Katrina Leskanich (Lead singer of the group Katrina & The Waves,ESC Winner 1997 for UK with "Love Shine A Light")
Jay Revell (Stage director, actor and dancer)

After the bad results in previous years with the internal chosen acts only the audience decided this year the representative for the United Kingdom. This was the full line-up:

"It’s about togetherness and unity, which suits Eurovision" said Joe about "You're Not Alone" and Jake added "It’s just a feel good song with a really positive message. We love that it is open enough to interpretation that you can adopt it in any way you like. It can be about someone you love or a family member you care for."
