Josh Dubovie has claimed that he is "really impressed" by his Pete Waterman-penned Eurovision track.

The 19-year-old singer, who triumphed on the BBC's talent show Your Country Needs You! last week, said that long-time collaborators Pete Waterman and Mike Stock have not let him down with their song 'That Sounds Good To Me'.

"The first time I heard the song, I was really impressed by it. It's definitely a Eurovision-style song," he told BBC Breakfast. "Waterman and Mike have lived up to expectations.

"It is such an honour [to represent the UK]. My first reaction was just my whole body, it just clenched."

Dubovie also revealed that he hopes to match Jade Ewen's top ten finish in last year's competition. "Hopefully I can follow in Jade's footsteps. I'm going to aspire to be as good as her. She broke the ice," he said.

Eurovision 2010 will take place in Oslo, Norway on May 29.

Jade Ewen: I didn't join Sugababes for it to be over in five minutes


Jade Ewen, 22, is the latest addition to the ever-changing Sugababes line-up. She represented Britain in last year's Eurovision Song Contest, coming fifth, and launched a brief solo career before replacing Sugababe Keisha Buchanan. New album Sweet 7 is released today.


..You’ve had a busy year. Have you taken it all in?


Not until the album launch party, I was just so busy working. It didn’t really sink in until I saw the posters and the hard copy of the album with my picture on it. It was a weird feeling.

Was giving up your solo career a difficult decision?


It was in that I believed in my music but joining the Sugababes was like winning the Lottery. I’m sure if I want to go solo again in the future I’ll be able to but I wanted to join the Sugababes – it’s better than I could have done on my own. I’d recorded 90 per cent of my album and my single came out two days after I joined the group so the solo stuff was well under way. Never mind.

Are you happy with your new saucy image?


I wasn’t overly keen to begin with but I’m used to it now. I needed to get away from that Eurovision look, which wasn’t me anyway, but you can’t sing an Andrew Lloyd Webber ballad in a miniskirt. I’ve always been really skinny and no one’s ever said I’m sexy, so to be told: ‘We’re going to make you sexy and get your legs out,’ was an adjustment.

Any outfits you weren’t keen on?


I was very nervous about the outfit I wore at the cervical cancer charity show. It looked fine from the front because it had a lot of detail – but I didn’t realise how revealing it was until I saw the pictures in the papers.

Why did you want to be a singer?


My dad’s blind and my mum’s partially sighted, so a lot of entertainment in our house was music, we didn’t watch much TV. I’ve sung for as long as I can remember. I was a massive fan of Whitney Houston, Celine Dion and Mariah Carey when I was a child.

Are you really going to lose the rights to the Sugababes name to the original line-up?

As far as I know the label owns the name, it’s not down to us or the previous line-up.My experience ofthe last year shows you shouldn’t worry about things until they happen.

Will the day come when you will all sing together as a sixpiece?

Ha! I doubt it. Who knows, they might all say: ‘Let’s reunite!’ It’d be interesting to see it happen.

What’s been your worst moment on stage?


When I first joined we did a show in Leeds. Amelle was in Austria so it was just me and Heidi. I was terrified about how the fans would react. They turned out to be really nice. I thought they’d shout abuse but they didn’t. Heidi did a little speech about the line-up change and why Amelle couldn’t be there and she suddenly started crying. I didn’t know her that well at this point and didn’t know what to do, if I should just stand there and keep smiling. I went over, hugged her and said: ‘It’ll all be all right.’ No matter what’s happened, Heidi and Keisha had eight years together in the group so it was like a break-up, it was still quite raw.

How long do you think the Sugababes have got left?


I didn’t join for it to be over in five minutes. As long as we keep putting out good music I don’t see why it couldn’t last for another five or ten years.

Are you a feminist?


Yes, I’d say so. There’s always this thing that girls are quick to turn on each other, I feel guys stick together more, so I encourage that sisterhood vibe among my friends.

Have you ever been attacked by an animal?


I did a children’s wildlife TV programme when I was 14. I was holding a cockatoo and it went absolutely mental and started pecking huge chunks of flesh out of my hand. I’m not a fan of birds now.
