Raya, whose real name is Rachel Clark, was one of six acts bidding to reach this year's final in Portugal to represent the UK.
The former Doncaster Rovers' Vikette and one-time Hungerhill School pupil, describes herself as a "short, northern firecracker with a heart of gold."
Ahead of the show, she said she wanted her performance of her song Crazy to be the ultimate tribute to her dad Andy who died last year from cancer at the age of 62.
