2005 was the first year my parents let me stay up and watch Eurovision with them (I was 8 at the time). The UK and Greece were my favourite entries and they still are. I was very happy Greece won but also upset to see the UK finish so low with a really good song imo and great choreography. Touch my fire will always have a special place in my heart as it was the first Eurovision song I loved.

I have to say, this is an EXTREMELY catchy song,and she is a very good singer,but omg the song is so catchy I can't stop listening to it

Considering Javine was suffering from sickness, she knocked her performance out the park. Deserved much better.

If Turkey had sent this song, it would have entered the top 5.

@Matt Taylor Well in this case the problem is the reintroduction of the jury that keeps "apolitically" voting for blunt, boring Scandinavian and other Northern European songs. Flavorless like their food.

recently found out that she was almost a Girls Aloud member & had to check out her music out of curiosity and this is a bop, reminds me of Fuego but i personally don’t mind as i looove this genre

Even though her vocals aren't the strongest, the song is nice and evokes a feeling of passion--which is also associated with fire. Nice touch.

Those moaning about how bad this was back then are very lucky that Javine beat Jordan to represent the UK. Imagine if that thing had won and got to represent the UK?! LOL. Absolute square bottom of the pile for sure. At least Javine looked incredible, performed superbly and gave a solid vocal (at parts shaky, but what do you expect when youre throwing yourself around on stage when doing choreo!). This was epic, and I still love watching this. Severely underrated!

So glad she pursued solo, she was always meant for more than “girls aloud”

Cyprus's Next Top Model bless u

To be fair Javine had the package hence why she got the job. The voice, the song and the performance. People saying its too Turkish, there were a lot of r&b songs that were using Eastern influences in that time period (think Christina Milian - 'Dip It Low'/ Rakim - 'Truth Hurts', Jamelia - 'DJ'). Sadly the death sentence draw (2nd), too many similar styled songs and sandwiched between two favourites (Hungary and Malta) were what contributed. I think its a good song and any other year we would have scored better. It is probably our most underrated entry. Katie Price who was second in the selection would have probably scored more and stood out with her image and had a more popish song but the right call was made with Javine.

more Mid Eastern than Turkish to be honest, Turkish music is way too diverse to be classified as such..

Great song but drawn in the dreaded second spot to perform. 2005 was the year when the Big Four, UK, Germany, Spain and France all mysteriously finished in the bottom four positions too.
