The pair – consisting of former Voice contestants Joe Woolford and Jake Shakeshaft – will perform the upbeat track “You’re Not Alone” at the contest in Stockholm on Saturday, May 14. They were chosen by public vote from six acts who performed their tracks at the live final at the Forum in London’s Kentish Town. ”I can’t even talk, it feels amazing,” Joe said afterwards. “To everyone back home, thank you so much for voting for us, we’re just so proud.” Joe and Jake fought off competition from singers Bianca, Karl William Lund and Matthew James and duos Darline and Dulcima to win the ticket to Stockholm. The pair first appeared on series four of The Voice in 2015, with Joe – who was on Rita Ora’s team – making it as far as the semi-finals. Jake, however, a member of Team will.i.am, narrowly missed out on the live shows, being eliminated at the knockout stage. The pair will be aiming for greater success in Eurovision 2016 than 2015 participants Electro Velvet, who finished with just five points at the contest in Vienna.
