Yup- the winning British entry in the Eurovision Irony Contest
crapness
It's very simple - Europe loves British music - they just don't love the cheap crap we put into Eurovision.
They expect to see Leona Lewis, JLS, Cheryl Cole, Mika, Lily Allen and they get this crap - is it any wonder they think we are taking the piss?
The BBC has to scrap the competition and just let an established artist do it. They WILL do it, but not if they have to go through a selection process. If the BBC gives them it, they will do it.
Morrisey agreed to do it, but wouldn't do Making Your Mind Up.
I totally agree. Lately songs that have been winning have been a bit different to the Eurovision norm.
There are SO many good song writers. Many undiscovered writers songs would be better than this year's song. I think it's about time the UK gets edgy.
And what happened to giving the voters a choice of songs? Whats the point in voting for a singer when the song is crap.
BBC let the voters decide from six songs like before.
Seems I am wasting my time.
Oh well, no pleasing some (most) people.
That's very true, but I just think they wouldn't want to lower themselves to the level of Eurovision.
I also think it's a great song. Should do well.
what i dont understand is WHY pete waterman?? what hit has he had in the past decade?? hes lagging behind in the 80s, i just found the whole thing bizarre.
Once - and that involved taking skirts off.
What a backstep. If we win Eurovision with this then I might just kill myself.
Seriously though, by having last years winner on the show it showed how big a difference there is between them. I honestly think you only have to listen to Norway's winners opening and you already know how great a Eurovision song it is. After listening to this one 4 times I actually can't recall how it sounded, so maybe everything I just said was a load of rubbish...
I thought we'd seen the last of him until he popped up on the Alan Tichmarsh show (I don't even watch it, I was just flicking over for the news) and now he's on this. I just find him really cheesy and awful but I'm not exactly a fan of judges. Don't get me started on Simon Cowell and Piers Morgan!

It's called Shalalie, Shalala. Brought to the unsuspecting world by the man that gave us The Smurf Song.
Ah, but the thing is, the Dutch are probably in one of these countries who have 'neighbours' voting for them. It is baffling how countries with unbearable songs manage to make it to the high spots in this competition. 'Friendly neighbours' is the only possible solution I can come up with.
