Jemini

Jemini are a pop duo originating from Liverpool, best known for representing the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest 2003 with their song Cry Baby. Their performance was widely criticised for being off-key, and marked the first time the UK finished in last place, and the first time the UK received Nul Points.

The Eurovision failure prompted extensive mockery from British media. Jemini admitted that their performance was off-key, and claimed they were unable to hear the backing track due to a technical fault. Cromby claimed that the-then commentator for the UK coverage of Eurovision, Terry Wogan, had warned them before the contest that they would not get any points due to the nation's involvement in the Iraq War.

Author and historian John Kennedy O'Connor notes in his 2007 book The Eurovision Song Contest - The Official History that with a record field of 26 entries in 2003, this made the UK's failure the most spectacular in the history of the contest up to this point. Due to their failure at Eurovision, they were immediately dropped by their record label (Integral Records UK), and as a consequence of this, their album was never released. Cry Baby entered the UK Singles Chart at #15, but spent only three weeks in the chart.

They split up afterwards but reunited a decade later for a special interview about their performance in a two-hour long BBC Three special How To Win Eurovision. The special aired on 11 May 2013. In 2014, the duo reunited once again to take part in a celebrity Eurovision special of the BBC game show, Pointless.
