Singing hopeful Jade Ewen has been chosen to represent the UK in the forthcoming Eurovision Song Contest.
She triumphed in a public vote in the final show of the BBC's Your Country Needs You, beating two other hopeful acts.
The 21-year-old from Plaistow, east London, wowed the viewers with a heartfelt version of Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber's song My Time penned especially for the show.
In an emotional final show Ewen battled it out with farmer's son and pantomime star Mark Evans, 23, from North Wales and Sheffield twins Francine and Nicola Gledall, 20, to win the chance to sing for the nation in the contest in Moscow in May.
Each act sang two tunes of their own choosing as well as debuting the composer's new song.
Pop stars Lulu and Duncan James of former boy band Blue, were both there to offer their professional opinion.
Lulu told the winner: "You tick all the boxes, you've got the whole package."
Lord Lloyd Webber laughed off questions about comments he made before the final claiming that he was worried that the public might choose the "wrong" contestant.
He said he was so pleased with the public's choice that he would play the piano for Ewen during her performance.
He said: "The Eurovision show started Abba, it started Riverdance and it's going to start the career of this incredibly talented young woman."
