    I keep singing "keep young and beautiful, if you wanna be loved"

    Bingo! It does have that feel to it. I could imagine this being on Madonna's Dick Tracy soundtrack.

    I can just see the producers opening the show with the UK - something which doesn't have a chance but will wake everyone up before the competition proper. We had the final position last year so can hardly complain.

    The only thing its got going for it is that is does get stuck in ypur head, and amid all the ballads it might raise it from the last few places..... but your right it s reams opener and then with nothing to compare and at first position it willl be forgotten. I'm really disappointed.

    If it was upbeat but with a modern pop sound, then yea. But the 1920s thing will never work. Oh well. At least we can enjoy the evening as a neutral again!

    You must be kidding. By 23rd May I'll be convinced that we have a chance as always. *rolleyes*:blush:
    Gajer Balint will be kicking himself he didn't submit his song for Guy.

    It'd be too modern.

    They've made the fatal error of "picking a song to do well in Eurovision". They should have just gone with their gut instinct and picked a song that could go top 10 in the UK singles chart. If Freeman is so confident in it's chances, release this thing onto iTunes UK tonight and let's see how it does.

    I'll be optimistic and say it'll just about break into the Top 100 :D

    Sweden's such a fix, gonna be an inevitable last place twice in a row for me>:(

    Can we steal Leonor for our entry? I can see top 10 written all over it:p

    Stop trying to make 2015 Saade happen. He'll never happen.

    Oh no, I wanted this if only for to see him to fail against Mans.....or anyone else. Stink is a hateful song to my ears. I just want to see his expression when it hopefully happens.

    Hmm,I really can't see the juries going for this.

    Unless they are given several brown envelopes.

    Maybe the BBC want to withdrew next year. Promote an entry well so it makes it look like It can do well but then when it flops bow to the press fury which follows and then withdraw.

    Brings in too many viewers to withdraw.

    6th listen and it's catchy. I just worry about what the vocals and stage show will be! I imagine it'll come across as a joke act

    When do we actually find out where we are going to be placed in the running order

    Not a big fan of starting first, but would it be so bad that we inflict our tosh on Europe first and then let the rest of them get on with it?

    In his Blog, Guy Freeman said they received songs that were good enough to be commercial tracks straight away...



    ....and we've ended up with this.

    He lied. Seen esckaz mention on esc nation 30 mins before the reveal that the 300 entries were awful and unusable, this was rushed together in the last two weeks.

    Have they improved the singing or the songs in Portugal? Or am I just liking it more after... :blush:
