1. Scou… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least five singers and two groups named Sonia.
1. Scouse songstress Sonia Evans shot to fame as a bubbly, ginger-haired, giggly popstrel with the Stock Aitken Waterman stable. Her debut single "You'll Never Stop Me Loving You" made number one on the UK chart, and the debut album "Everybody Knows" made top ten. Further hits followed including "Can't Forget You", "Listen To Your Heart", "Counting Every Minute" and "End Of The World".
Sonia then changed labels, enjoying further hits with "Only Fools (Never Fall In Love)", "You To Me Are Everything", and "Be Young, Be Foolish, Be Happy".
Famously represented the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest, where she came second, losing on the last vote to Niamh Kavanagh's "In Your Eyes" after the Malta jury awarded douze points to the latter.
Sonia appeared on the ITV show "Reborn In The USA" where she famously clashed with seventies sparklers Dollar.
In 2007, a Greatest Hits album was released - an album that mysteriously omitted all of Sonia's Stock, Aitken, Waterman era material.
Sonia continues to tour and make TV appearances. Her stage and screen career has included stints in the West End ('Grease' alongside Shane Richie) and on the BBC sitcome 'Bread'. Sonia was also famously parodied by Dawn French in the 'Star Test' section of the French & Saunders show.

Sonia Evans (born February 13, 1971), better known as just Sonia, is an English pop singer from Liverpool, who was popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Her singing career was launched by the music producing trio Stock Aitken Waterman in 1989. She was signed after badgering Pete Waterman to listen to her sing outside the recording studio in Liverpool. Evans has her soft husky bartitonal contralto voice. Waterman did a regular weekly radio broadcast. He called her bluff and had her sing live on his show, and she later had several hits in the UK Singles Chart over the following years, including the UK number one single "You'll Never Stop Me Loving You" and a hit "You've Got a Friend" (credited to Big Fun & Sonia featuring Gary Barnacle), plus some other Top 20 hit singles, including "Can't Forget You" and "You To Me Are Everything".
She also sang the Dean Collinson and Red composition "Better The Devil You Know" for Britain in the 1993 Eurovision Song Contest, where she finished in second place.
In 2003, Evans took part in the reality television show Reborn in the USA, but was voted off in its fifth week.
In January 2007 she starred in the pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk, as Jack in Horsham, West Sussex, alongside Mark Currie.

They released four albums, then in 1996, Cindy Rutstein ceased playing regularly with the band in order to become a mother but occasionally still performs with them. Sonia Rutstein started a solo career (as "SONiA"). Her lyrics often address GLBT rights and other progressive political causes. Her 2004 CD No Bomb is Smart was nominated for a Grammy, in spite of, or perhaps because of its outspoken opposition to current US foreign policy. Since its release, she has been campaigning as a recording artist against SoundExchange's (and RIAA's) efforts to dramatically increase fees to small webcasters. Her website http://www.soniadf.com has more information on all the above projects. SONiA's most recent solo album is http://www.last.fm/music/Sonia+Rutstein/No+Bomb+Is+Smart.

Sonia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's better the devil, devil, yeah, yeah, yeah
Baby, don't do things that make me blue
You know my love is always true
Baby, don't do things that make me cry
I just can't seem to sleep at night
You know I love him every day
Better the devil you know than the devil you don't
I'll give you my heart and my soul if you give me your love
Better the devil you know than the devil you don't
I tell him that I love him most every day
I'm out of my head, I don't know what to say
He never plays around like the other guys do
He's got the key to my heart and my love is true
You know I love him every day
It breaks my heart when he goes away
Better the devil you know than the devil you don't
I'll give you my heart and my soul if you give me your love
Oh no, don't tell me lies boy
Oh no, don't make me cry
Oh no, don't tell me lies boy
Oh no, don't say goodbye
Better the devil, better the devil
Better the devil you know than the devil you don't
You know I love him every day
It breaks my heart when he goes away, when he goes away
Better the devil you know than the devil you don't
I'll give you my heart and my soul if you give me your love
Better the devil you know than the devil you don't
I'll give you my heart and my soul if you give me your love
The song "Better The Devil You Know" by Sonia is a catchy pop song that revolves around the theme of love, trust, and heartbreak. The singer urges her lover not to do anything that would make her sad or cry since her love for him is always true. She admits that she loves him more than anything else in the world and it breaks her heart when he's away. The chorus describes the concept that it is better to stick with someone familiar, even if they have faults, rather than go with someone new and unknown.
The use of the phrase "Better the devil you know than the devil you don't" suggests that staying with someone who is familiar, but perhaps flawed or troubled, is a safer option than leaving them for someone new and possibly worse. The lyrics imply that the singer wants to avoid the pain of heartbreak and the unknown, even though it means staying in a less than ideal situation.
Overall, the song conveys the idea that love can be complicated and that sometimes it's better to stick with what you know, even if it's not perfect. The catchy tune, the bold lyrics, and the upbeat tempo make "Better The Devil You Know" an enjoyable pop classic that still resonates with listeners today.

Soooooo much better than the recorded version. As it is live, this is probably one of my favourite Eurovision songs!

The dress rehearsal was even better but has disappeared, plus superior camera work.
Dan Frost
THIS is what Eurovision is all about , catchy, upbeat , makes you feel happy. She looks stunning and completely nailed the vocals. She always looks like she's swallowed a bottle of liquid sunshine.

This was fantastic and Sonia smashed it, but nothing could have beaten Ireland’s Niamh Kavanagh that year.
