UK's James Newman performs Eurovision 2020 song 'My Last Breath' Live - BBC

James is a multi-platinum selling, Brit Award winning and Grammy nominated songwriter, having won a Brit for British Single of the Year for ‘Waiting All Night’ performed by Rudimental and Ella Eyre.

James says when he started writing songs for Eurovision 2020 some of the biggest songwriters in the world that he’s previously worked with were keen to get involved and have been a big support. He recorded ‘My Last Breath’ in Scotland while he was staying on a loch with fellow songwriters, Ed Drewett, Iain James and Adam Argyle. He knew My Last Breath was ‘the one’ after first recording it, as he loved the simplicity of the song and feels like it "gets you straight away".

The actual song isn't bad. They just aren't giving it the welly it needs.

[philwification]

James' voice has a beautiful warmth and his song is bosker.
Best wishes from Bonnie Scotland for a good result in Rotterdam.

[kianelliott]

The song is good but I hope to god he ups his game in the actual contest. It sounds flat, no energy whereas the studio version is rough, it’s got energy. Come on James

[Lincslad]

you give it good James- you go for it fella.... great song!

[aarronhirst]

The chorus with the backing vocalists doesn't sound right... 🥺

[eurofreakable]

Can’t wait to celebrate coming last again! Highlight of my year!

[einat]

The UK has such an amazing collection of languages & cultures.
Why always go for boring every year? Have a song spiced up in Welsh, Gaelic, or Hindi!

[patrickdemateo]

One of the bests songs in this year's Eurovision. Just pure and great. I don't understand the hate.

[heavenofmusic]

Why doesn't he sing it in the original key tho. That would be so much better than this !

[robbieandsarah]

I love this song and i really like his voice 👌 the beat obviously sounds a bit better in the music video but this is still fab!

[tajzaidi]

He sounds so unbelievably flat at certain points throughout the song

[lynnemartin]

This is pretty cool.love that break after breath. Terrific UK👍👍👍🙋🏻‍♀️

[jeremyl]

Like this a lot! Well done and good luck to James :-D

[Boeingmaxisnotgood]

I subed man your vids are cool 😎 the singing 🎤 is good and perfecto

[tsadriana]

The song is great, but he doesn`t seem to put enough emotions into it.And with the Coronavirus going arround not sure "My last breath " was the right choice tittle for the song.

[wystxrr]

I’m happy the BBC are going in with renewed hope. We know he can sing live which is useful for Eurovision

[aolearymusic]

I think this is very dull because, as you can see it was recorded like an acoustic song with the guitar and piano but they must’ve added the backing track during editing

[hopefuldaisys]

The bbc never seem to get the backing vocals just right

[craigmoulton]

You can tell he isnt singing this with his full potential.I really do think he is just casually singing the song like if hes in his living room with his mates. I think he will show his vocals off in bigger live t.v performances and esp on the big night ... 🤔

[TJTutorials]

This sounds nothing like the first release of it! Thought we were in with a chance... Until this. It's like a Cheryl Cole song. Sounds good until sung live 🤣
