In the Eurovision Song Contest itself, the song received 29 points and finished in 16th place.
During BBC One's coverage of the contest, last year's UK entry, Cry Baby was sung in perfect rendition by Jemini after criticism of their song. The Band said that the monitors were switched off and, as such, the backing track could not be heard in their earpieces. The band then proved these claims by performing it in the 2004 contest.
