Eurovision Song Contest

I'm not really into this competition, but I was a bit bored just now and read a review of our entry this year, Even If, sung by that bloke, Andy Abraham, who took part in the X-Factor a few years ago. The song is a homage to disco, not unlike the great Michael Jackson song, Don't Stop Till You Get Enough. It's not a bad effort, but nobody likes the UK anymore, so I don't think we'll do that well...

They mentioned in the article I was reading that our entry in 2003, sung by Jemini, was our worst ever performance where we scored 'nul points'. After listening to it just now, I give it 'nul points' too - Awful!

I'd forgotten how bad that song was, and how she sounds worse than those hyperventilating popstars (like Beyonce).

Andy Abraham sounds good, but the best I've heard so far is the Irish entry's send up of the whole institution!

  Well, I just heard it for the first time this morning and I can't believe how out of tune it is. Horrendous!
  
  Oh, the Irish one is by a puppet or something isn't it?

  Probably, but the song isn't that bad. At least Andy will probably sing in tune!

      I just realised last night that they have semi finals before the final on Saturday, so we're up in tomorrow's semi... Not hopeful though...

Those twins were 'unable to hear the music' when they got nil pwa, and were wearing raunchy costumes, and feeling each other up, urk! creaped me out when i saw it so can't really blame other countries for feeling the same way!

I think we may have been doing a Father Ted there tho, trying not to win lol
But I would have totally voted for My Lovely Horse to win giggle!

    I thought there was somekind of 'new act' rule, no hang on how could cliff richards have entered many times...? Shrug, wouldn't be fair on the other countries if we entered with a mega star, unless they could enter someone of the same callibre.

      I don't think it matters who performs the song, but the song lyrics and music have to be composed by amateurs, I think?
      
      Anyway, I tell you, the rest of Europe don't like us! We'll not win or even come close for the forseeable future, which is a bit sad.

        We did kind of start a war for not-so-honest reasons, that does tend to put people off!
        Sigh, is a pity it's not about the music, but not everyone's as enlightened as us eh?!
