A clip of her tryout, in which she sings Oleta Adams' hit Get Here, has had a resurgence in popularity online after the star accepted a judging role on The X Factor. Rita quit the
talent search, Your Country Needs You, after deciding Eurovision wasn't for her - and Jade Ewen went on to fly the flag for the UK instead. She sang It's My Time and achieved a Top
5 placement in the Eurovision final, something the country has not achieved again since. Ewen then went on to sing with Sugababes until their hiatus in 2011, and is currently scoring
five-star reviews in the London musical In The Heights. She clashed with Rita, however, back in 2013 when the Poison singer took a swipe at Ewen's participation in ITV diving
competition Splash!. The Kosovo-born hitmaker, real name Rita Sahatçiu, said: "Imagine if I’d stayed! It would probably have been all over for me. At best, I’d be a contestant on that
diving show…? Splash! Yeah, Splash! I love that show." Ewen retorted on Twitter: "Easy to mock when you are enjoying success. Eurovision and Splash? Proud of both. Some manage to
sleep their way to success some have morals." Rita's debut album, released in 2012, netted her three UK Number One singles, although her second LP has been dogged by delays.
