Australian pop sensation Gina G represented Britain in the Eurovision Song Contest with 'Ooh Aah, Just a Little Bit' back in 1996 coming in at a highly respectable 7th place on the leader board. 'Ooh Ahh' rocketed to no 1 and remained in the top 5 for nearly 3 months, making her one of the most successful acts Britain has ever had at Eurovision.
Fast forward to 2005, and Gina is now looking to conquer Europe, and claim the Eurovision crown that some say was rightfully hers. And it seems that the time is right with everything for her comeback falling neatly into place.
'For about 3 years I had been thinking about the concept of representing Britain again in Eurovision. I had always had a lot of pressure from fans to do it again; as we all agree "we was robbed". So this year I thought, I wonder if the BBC would be interested. The amazing thing was, just as I was thinking about contacting them, they contacted me. I nearly fell over! They asked me to compete in Making Your Mind Up...now all I have to do is win it.'
And of course the competition is fierce this year, with many talented acts in the running for chance to represent the UK, so how does she rate her chances?
Well I haven't heard the other entries, but this year I have tough competition because the competitors are well known. The performance is crucial if Britain is to have a chance of winning Eurovision this year. If the public votes for the song and performance, then I think I've got a good chance'.
It's clear that Gina is delighted to be in the running for a return to Eurovision, and like the event's loyal fan base is very passionate about the contest and what it stands for. Speaking about its longevity, and the reasons why people still love it so much, Gina says
'It's such a great thing that every year Europe unites for something really positive - like music! It's become so iconic and has like a 'cultish' following. Another great thing about it is that it has moved with the times over the last few years and become up to date; and I think this has kept it alive. And of course the BEST thing about it is Terry Wogan.'
When it comes to the performance on the night of Saturday 5th March Gina is remaining tight lipped!!

'Flashback'
Performed by Gina G
Rush rush, tick tock, it's almost nine'o clock
No time for this, no time for that, the pressure never stops
Can't wait til Saturday, to dance the night away
C'mon girls, hear me boys, I got the fever
It's got me spinnin like a disco diva
Ooh, I remember good times of yesterday
It don't matter baby who you are
We all look like we're superstars
With our million dollar hair and designer wear
Just gimme a beat, and baby I'll be there
Flashback - To the music
Rewind - To the good times
Everybody singin hey hey hey
Flashback - To the music
Rewind - To the good times
We wanna party singin hey hey hey hey
Who's the boy, in the corner, one that caught my eye
Maybe Adonis, he's a promise and he'll be my guy
He'll take me to the floor and dance the night away
Coz I'm, footloose and I'm fancy free
So baby let me take you through my time machine
Coz we're goin back to the old skool days
Just gimme a beat and we'll be on our way
Flashback - To the music
Rewind - To the good times
Everybody singin hey hey hey

Bounce, let me see you move
If your’e feelin the feelin then step to the groove
Don’t hold your breath, we’re testing your mood

It’s ’84 I’m in a club with a cap back
Back spinnin to this rap track, match that
