The former Eurovision winner says the city should host the 2023 event over Liverpool.
She added: "I know how much we love music, how much we supported music, how many great talents have come from there. I also know - and I can be objective too because I live outside of Glasgow - how warm-hearted an audience they are. I know how brilliantly a job they would do.
A hotly-contested selection process saw 20 UK cities express an interest in hosting next year's show before that was narrowed down to seven, and now a final two. The winning location will attract thousands of visitors and the attention of around 160 million TV viewers around the world. She added: "Having such a huge global event here, as with all the big events that we host in Glasgow, brings huge benefits to the city. Lots of people coming, spending their money in local businesses, but also going back home and telling folk what a brilliant city this is.
