The Eurovision Song Contest is back!
Eurovision: You Decide is back for 2019 with a brand new format! Eurovision superfan Mel Giedroyc and the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2015, Mans Zelmerlow, host live from MediaCityUK in Salford as the show comes from the north west of England for the very first time.
This 90-minute Eurovision extravaganza gives viewers the opportunity to vote for the song they want to represent the UK at the biggest music competition in the world.
In an exciting format change, each of the three competing songs is performed in two different ways, by two different acts. A celebrity panel and viewers at home make the decision on which song represents the UK at the sixty-fourth Eurovision Song Contest, which will be held in Tel Aviv, Israel, in May 2019. The show features special performances and surprises.

Jury alone is completely unfair. WE should be allowed to choose a winner too. Perhaps the outcome wouldve been different and the better version would've succeeded.
If this song realease as a single ptobably it will become a hit song. I like it so much. I hope after Eurovision, they will release it as a single. I love michael 's version
Holly is so good live and i think she should have been the winner
Hes out of tune. Typical British entry.
Being a native Texan I love Holly's version of "Bigger than Us" the most. Well done, Holly. I would have voted for it, but I wish Michael good luck in May. I also wish Holly all the best in the future : )
I actually really enjoyed Holly’s performance! Particularly the cowboy dancers 😂😂
Holly ❤
Bigger Thanos
Holly better
Public dislike Holly.
I wanted to see them singing together so badly 🙁
I loved Holly's studio version and she did really well in live performance, but Michael's raw emotion in the lives stole the show. It was the right decision to advance Michael (still love Holly to the moon and back!) Love from Poland/USA.
They should have sung it together in Michael's version. Bet that would have been good!
Michael's version is the best version and even the best song of all presented. I'd work with his clothes a bit. Maybe an entire choir for the background. Oh ok, they'll improve the already great performace even more anyway. That's what everyone does.
Michaels was completely EPIC ✨✨✨
1:45 Holly tandy
7:33 Michael rice
I really think that with Michael winning the show, they should take some elements of Holly's song and mash them together because it would make Michael's song way better for the final. Looking forward to what they change with Michael's though
Holly surprised me. At first I’d thought the country version of that song wouldn’t work but she performed it brilliantly.
I’m impressed.
Holly was really really good, just that Michael had raw emotions and that usually wins!
Those cowboy dancers didn’t help…..
i don't see this song even making it to the top 10. lets just accept defeat and try again next year.
They should sing together! This song would be better as a duet 😞
Michael's voice needs to be work on. There's some pitch inconsistency especially on his lower registers but overall he has a great voice.
The 1975 at the beginning!
I do like Holly's accent!
He looks and sounds like an awkward amateur. This will come bottom three. Oh well always next year.
This one was definitely the toughest one. I wish that the public got a sniff in the votes of the sing-offs because I would've voted Holly
Mmm those backing dancers tho 😍
Also, record companies should be taking note of this girl. She has great charisma and stage presence and a fantastic voice
Holly is 17?! I'll be 17 in April. 🙂
She did so well! I was for Michael, but her live version made change my mind. I love both the same!
this should have gone to the public vote. I prefered this version. Very Kylie Golden so contemporary.
I liked Holly's Version but knew that would chose Micheal after his version
Michael is one of the best singers I've heard in a long time and SHOULD REPRESENT UK!! hands down the bes
why can't we have acts singing their own songs?
Michael❤️
Does anyone who are those dancers?
Great performance ! Very Nice voice 😍👍⭐
Hollys song was better.. but, she was overshadowed by the dancers.. It might be because im gay, but, was she even there 😀 Can we all appreciate the butt wiggles with the dancers 3:05 🙂
In revamp make it darker lose the key change strip back the backing vocals to make it sound more natural and less x factor use Tom Walker as a template 98 mill views cos it's done right
Holly should’ve won. Michaels version is good, but it’s an XF winners single. It’s not what Eurovision wants. We need something CURRENT – holly delivered that.
Holly
Uh…. If only the UK didn't hate country. Holly was so great. The backing dancers though were a bit cringe though. I feel like Michael's was just a vocal exercise at times.
6:10 telleraveeeeeeeeev
Michael captured the emotional magic of the song through the lyrics and the mood and it was right to choose him BUT I will say Holly is SO TALENTED, and watching her performance makes me to follow her career as she grows — if she brought the country version of "Bigger Than Us" here to the US, it would blow up MASSIVELY, because this the sound of country here that always plays well (and I really hope she does) — the things that let her down were the staging and her wardrobe (neither made sense with the song, but that's just IMHO)
I love country music but I think that this song really suits Michael's version.
Sadly the chosen song 'It's Bigger Than Us', and it's songwriters of this song have followed in the shadow of that Andrew Lloyd Weber and Diane Warren UK 2009 Eurovision 'It's My Time'. Sadly ain't gonna do much. When are the powers that be that control how the song for the UK is chosen to recognise and let some true and unique UK songwriting talent in on it.
I'm sorry but Holly's version is so bad compared to Michaels
This guy on the left at 3:00 move his hips better than I can spell my own name
X factor versus all together now
Can someone tell me whats Eurovision all about? I watched Michael Rice in all together now and he won and now hes here and both of them are singing same song… Pls. Enlighten me.
Holly, her chosen song weren't for her voice.
He killed her. Made it his own. She just sang it. His range
So now you will be in tel aviv. Waiting for here! 🙂
Why didn’t they let the public pick their favourite 3 from the six? That would have really shown the public’s opinion, cos honestly I love both versions
C'mon, we can win this year!
3:30 bust down thotiana
I like holly's version…. I like michael's character and attitude coz when he is on stage like he swallow everything….
Michale love his voice x
The UK this year deserves a top 10
Hollys version is the one that would make last place MICHAELS VERSION THO WAS EPIC
Sweden has a lot of hands in this like måns is presenter and John lundvik wrote the songs
A good sign of outbildade alliance
I agree with the judge those movement made him seem uncomfortable and trying to hard. It looks unnatural. But he do has a nice voice.
Michael Rice will win 2019 eurovision. Congrats in advance UK.
Country version seems a bit rushed to me

This song is awesome! i get goose pimples just listening to this. The U.K. entry will definitely win the ESC this year. 12 points to the U.K.
I think the right version won, I also think this is kind of the version John Lundvik would have sing it if he kept it for himself ^^
They were both really good Holly has really good voice but it kind of sounds just like the rest to be honest Michael's voice sounds unique like Sam Smith
😎😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Goooooooooo Mikeeeeee
100% Michael Rice!!!
So much better than the shite we were made to chose from.
Nah he killed her by a mile – easy choice made
Amazing young lady with such beautiful eyes! They should be singing this song as a duo with Michael Rice for Eurovision.
hope to see you in Tel Aviv
Michael Rice is a winner u all won’t regret it for 2019 Eurovision looking forward fingers crossed
I’m sorry but those ‘country’ background dancers had me in tears the entire performance
I loved holly on X factor and I loved Michael on all together now
OMG Fire your makeup artist. The foundations on everyone are so heavy and almost look like an undertaker did it.
Literally micheal gave me goosebumps omgg such an incredible voice 👌👌👌👌
D
creepy hair coloring…..ick
Michael Rice was a God😱😱😱😱
They should of sang it together
I preferred Michael's version, but both so talented.
Ppl be saying Michael rice is good and I agree but he got us last..
Last Place 😰
Holly was better
Is that mans Zelmerlöw????
Those cowboys made my day 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wtf is the so called meaning behind this concept. And why is it called you decide it makes no sense it has nothing with letting people decide when you have 3 so called jugdes who decide for the public. If the public voted Holly would have won this battle I have no doubt
As an American I can see why y’all like her version but given the lyrical content HIS VERSION JUST HITS ALOT MORE ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE TIMES WERE IN WITH RACIAL STRIFE ALL AROUND THE WORLD ( I woulda picked this guy and the song “Freaks” ) ( if u put emotion into it the song takes a new meaning )
Michael is too good to me ooo
I love Micheal Rice, hes amazing ❤🌹
I really liked both of the versions.
Both are so freaking good.
I hate Mans!! he is everywhere like a mouse
Im seeing Sam Smith on Michael
I really hope we hear more from Michael , he sing with such raw emotions , and i love it 💕
Holly Tandy should have won this hands down.
Michael radiates like the sun.
