Eurovision Song Contest, Why is The UKs entry always rubbish?

im from the UK and i hate the fact that our entrys are always pathetic. What the hell were they thinking with this years entry? I think we should be showing the rest of the world Some GOOD BRITISH TALENT not this cheesy pop crap. I wouldnt be surprised if it was another year with no points.





what do you think?

Eurovision Song Contest, Why is The UKs entry always rubbish?
if i remember rightly, we had a contest to vote for the best entry for England, I didn't vote cos they were all rubbish, but the british public voted for Scooch to win and represent us for the eurovision.
Reply:every country hates us so even if we had robbie singin angels we would still get no votes
Reply:Every Countries entry is rubbish!!
Reply:It's supposed to be rubbish - that's the point.





It's moved on from the days when it was actually a song contest.
Reply:It's only rubbish in the eyes of 475,000,000 people that doesn't mean it's rubbish if you like it enough to buy it, yeah !!
Reply:We don't want to win it,If we did win we would have to host it.Thankfully the uk entry is rubbish.
Reply:Look at it as a COMEDY show rather than a SONG contest, and I guarantee you will start to smile and have a laugh !





I used to get so frustrated with the political voting, UK's annual helping of 'Cheesiness', until friends started referring it to a comedy show - a fantastic show to take the p*ss !!





But seriously, I believe it is rigged for UK NOT to win/not stand a chance of scoring reasonable points, hence why the most rubbish song gets picked - oh my, now how did that happen??! Imagine the cost of hosting that, even more so in the years leading up to hosting the Olympics in 2012. I don't think the Cultural Affairs budget will allow it !!





Sit back and enjoy the comedy though !! Can't wait to see people making fools of themselves and loving it !!!! Hee hee hee !!
Reply:It's pretty rare for a song that's even halfway decent to find its way on to Eurovision.





Anyone with any talent would not use the Eurovision Song Contest as a forum for their music.





It's MEANT to be cr@p!
Reply:well this years song will be a joke whats the betting we get no points
Reply:i agree the uk could find better talent in any pub on a saturday night ! but the ladies are rather hot,and its all just a giggle anyway,dont take it serious like our euro cousins.
Reply:The reason they are cheesy is because a majority of the other voting countries do not understand the words/lyrics.





The music needs to be catchy - not too imaginative, and certainly commercial.





It has to appeal to all age groups.





Doesn't leave a lot does it?





I think that this years entry - at least compared with the last few years, is better. Think we may just get off the start line.





The whole thing is a policial vote anyway. If one of the Scandinavian countries put up a parrot reciting Baa Baa Black Sheep it would get top marks from at least 4 countries.





Personally, I grab a couple of cans and sit back and laugh at the female impersonators, top hats, and of course the star of the show - the Irish compere who can hardly talk for laughing at the whole silly set-up.





It's a laugh. Nothing to do with music.
Reply:we should opt out and not pay anymore its crap. they never do any good. and we pay for it practically. i never watch it.
Reply:The whole Eurovision song contest is a load of rubbish. It is not worth watching anymore
Reply:The contest is currently seen in places as far away as Australia. While incredibly popular, Aussies do not call it "Eurovision". ABC broadcasts the show under the title, "The Reason My Ancestors Left Europe".
Reply:It`s sh!te because they had no talent,like all the eurovision
Reply:The entry this year from the UK is not my taste, it is euro-pop and just what many in europe like. So, whilst it probably will go down like a dead balloon here, it will probably do quite well in Eurovision. Terry Wogan is usually more entertaining than the music anyway, especially the way he gets so wound up over the political voting tactics...haha.
Reply:would have been better with ''my lovely horse'' by father ted crilly and father dougal maguire
Reply:i know there was the deciding show.. but i bet it was fixed all along. i totally agree with you


'the Uk..... :| nil points'
Reply:I thought it was mandatory for all entries into the Eurovision Song Contest to be rubbish, not just those from the UK.
Reply:i LOVE eurovision-its supposed to be cheesy pop crap, we r more likely to win with this years entry than any of our recent efforts, its catchy, which means it sticks in the mind, and its patriotic which they seem to love!!!





i dont think we will win cos its so political and everyone in europe seems to hate us, although it doesnt stop em wanting to fricking live here, does it?!!!
Reply:Oh come on, lighten up!





I know this year's UK entry is naff and not what people could call a masterpiece, but it's fun and catchy.... and it raises my spirits for some wierd reason!





We can't do any worse than that bloody Jemini song a few years back..... URGHK! We DESERVED nil points that year.





I'd say we'll end up about..... 13th-8th place.
Reply:If people actually voted for the songs you might have a point but its the best example of petty political ingratiation I’ve ever seen. They may as well dispense with the music entirely and just have a show to see how many neighbouring countries can vote for each other.





A truly worthless and pathetic spectacle lapped up only by insignificant Eastern European countries with inferiority complexes.





The best thing the UK can do is to stop funding it along with France and Spain. Then, when those silly little countries want to spend the evening voting for each other, they can do it using their own money!
