Fleming made a further Eurovision bid in 1986, participating in the German national contest with the song Miteinander.
Joy's next involvement with Eurovision came in 2001 when, under a somewhat confusing arrangement with Swiss television she co-sang their contribution to the German final. The song, Power of Trust was performed with two other singers, Lesley Bogaert and Brigitte Oelke and was placed second. Joy made another attempt in 2002 and finished as runner-up yet again, this time performing Joy To The World with the group Jambalaya.

Joy to the World
Joy Fleming Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Joy to the world is here to stay
(Let's bring) joy to the world with peace and grace
Joy to the world, one voice, one race
(Let's sing) joy to the world is a heartbeat away
Joy to the world, then everything will be OK
Then the peace will return to our lives
When we start to lend a helping hand
To the next we should love (then we'll bring)
Joy to the world with this song we sing,
(Joy, joy, joy) yeah, and the hope it will bring
Oh, yeah, (joy to the world) and learn to give
Joy, joy, joy is so easy to achieve
If we finally wake up we'll see the beauties of the life
There's no need to pretend, we're not blind
We shall come together to believe in the power of trust
(Let's pray joy to the world), yeah
(Bring) joy to the world
Like a bird that can fly to the deep blue sky
We shall feel free and follow the bright ray of light
(Joy, let's sing, oh… joy to the world)
(Let's sing) joy (joy) to the world (oh…) joy to the world
(We'll bring joy to the world, oh… joy to the world)
Now the time has come to stand up
And join in the choir!
Joy to the world, bring joy to the world

Joy ist leider verstorben. Aber was wurde aus den anderen? Hab die Gruppe auf dem CSD in Köln gesehen und war begeistert von der Energy.
Gunther Siegel
Ein tolles Lied, wäre das beste Lied für den ESC damals gewesen! Aber NEIN: Weil Corinna May mehr Fans hatte, ging sie zum ESC und landete mit ihrem Geplärre verdient ganz unten!
