Bonnie Tyler isn’t worried appearing at Eurovision will harm her credibility. The ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ singer is representing the UK at the annual song contest – this year held in Sweden – but doesn’t worry it could damage her reputation as she has feels it is cemented. She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: “People love Eurovision. I know what you mean, but if I don’t win it’s not going to damage my reputation – people know me much too well already from my live shows. “They have seen me give so many powerful live performances. I am a live singer. And I believe in the song.”
Bonnie – who’s entry is called ‘Believe In Me’ – hopes she will fare better than last year’s UK song, ‘Love Will Set You Free’ by Engelbert Humperdinck, because her track is perfectly suited to her. The 61-year-old star added: “I think he’s got a strong voice, but the song wasn’t strong enough for him. It wasn’t the right song. His hits in the past have been powerful, and I don’t think it had anything for him to get into. “Mine is a good song, and I’ve got six people on stage with me. I won’t be having any dancers, it will be straightforward performance, musicians and backing singers.”
