2009-05-16 · 28 min · Not rated
Earlier this year Andrew Lloyd Webber was a man with a mission - to put the UK back on the Eurovision map. On the BBC's Your Country Needs You he set out to find this year's Eurovision act and wrote the song, It's My Time, with the award-winning Diane Warren. The public chose Jade Ewen, and Eurovision: Jade's Story follows her from the moment she won through to her final preparations and her first rehearsals in the vast Olympiyski Stadium in Moscow.
