"Come Back" is a unmarried released by Welsh pop singer Jessica Garlick which was the United Kingdom entry for 2002 Eurovision Song Contest.
Groundwork [edit]
Composition [edit]
The song was written by Martyn Baylay then an airline pilot from Birmingham who prior to "Come Dorsum" had fabricated seven unsuccessful attempts to place a composition in the UK national preselection round for Eurovision, too known as A Song for Europe. Baylay would recall: "I had ever tried to deliberately write a song for the Contest, I would endeavour anything to get in, I studied form so to speak and tried to create the perfect contest song. None of this was successful, so when I thought I don't care about formula any more, I sent in 'Come Back' and it won." The demo of "Come Back" submitted to the BBC to consider for A Song for Europe featured vocalist Bernie Nolan.[1]
A Song for Europe [edit]
Subsequently "Come Back" had been selected equally 1 of the eight Song for Europe 2002 finalists, the BBC's Eurovision executive producer Kevin Bishop contacted the station'south Music & Media Partnership managing director Rick Blaskey who'd recall Bishop advising him that "Come up Back" "was written past a pilot from Birmingham who doesn't know anyone in the business and needs some help". Blaskey said of "Come Back": "my favourite song in the competition, and so the adjacent day I met the writer and contacted [Atomic Kitten producers] Bill Padley and Jeremy Godfrey. They said exactly what I said, that this was a potential winner." Blaskey had the idea of having a Popular Idol contestant perform the song and on learning that Jessica Garlick had stated a longtime ambition to compete at Eurovision she was recruited:[2] Garlick would recall: It... all happened so quickly, I got the phone call on Monday [Jan 21, 2002] and recorded the song on Wednesday."[iii] "Come Dorsum" was appear as the Great britain entrant for Eurovision 2002 following the March iii television broadcast of A Vocal for Europe 2002 on March three, 2002, Garlick's operation of the song having solicited 68,000 televotes—40,000 more than second place.[4]
At Eurovision 2002 [edit]
Performance [edit]
On the night of the Eurovision competition, held on 25 May 2002 at the Saku Suurhall Arena in Tallinn, Estonia, "Come Back" was performed 2nd, following Cyprus' One with "Gimme" and preceding Republic of austria's Manuel Ortega with "Say a Give-and-take". For her Eurovision appearance, Garlick wore a dark cerise gown which was shredded from the waist down. She was accompanied on stage by 5 bankroll singers dressed in white.
Results [edit]
The last tally for "Come Dorsum" was 111 points, which technically tied "Come up Back" with the Estonian aspirant "Runaway" performed by Sahlene for a third place behind the entrants from Malta ("7th Wonder" by Ira Losco) and the winning Latvia ("I Wanna past Marie North). "Come Dorsum" is often cited as having finished third at Eurovision 2002, although in the contest'south official rankings "Runaway" is assigned third place and "Come up Back" fourth, the preference for "Delinquent" beingness due to its two get-go identify votes (from Latvia and Sweden) while "Come Dorsum" received only one offset identify vote (from Austria).
Whether considered a third or fourth-place finisher, "Come Back" remains the highest ranked UK entrant at Eurovision since the #ii finish of "Where Are You?" past Imaani in 1998, "Come Back" being the first Britain entrant to score a Elevation 10 end at Eurovision since "Where Are Y'all?". (The UK entrant for Eurovision 2009: "It'due south My Time" by Jade Ewen would considerably best "Come up Dorsum"'s point total with a tally of 173 points: despite earning the most points for whatever UK entrant since the 227 points earned by "Love Smooth a Calorie-free" by Katrina and the Waves afforded the last-named number a landslide Eurovision 1997 victory, "It's My Time"'s point tally but resulted in a #5 placing at Eurovision 2009.) The United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland resurgence at Eurovision would exist brusk-lived every bit at Eurovision 2003 the Great britain entry "Cry Baby" by Jemini would finish last with zero points.
