Hey should a well know band/solo sing represent the UK on the Eurovision Song Contest next year like One Direction or Bastille or Ellie Goulding or Jessie J or Lily Allen or Connor Maynard ect?

This is why france don't get anything....

EveT1991 · 10/05/14 - 22:58

Wong_Billabong · 10/05/14 - 23:00

Geniunley don't think any of them will do it

sarahj1986 · 10/05/14 - 23:01

We could resurrect the Beatles and we still wouldn't win

Sun Tzu. · 10/05/14 - 23:02

UK should pull out. The show is utterly political and decided based on prejudice views of us. Get out.

But if one of them did do it for UK next year would we stand a chance?

Didn't work for Blue - they were beaten by Jedward.

A Brit act would have a decent shot if they were a household name across Europe but it might not be enough to overcome political voting.

a little bitter?

I don't think it matters how good we are, we'll never win.

busy_bee · 10/05/14 - 23:17

We will never win, because Europe hate us. It really is as simple as that.

We could have the biggest superstar in the world, and it still would not be enough.

I wonder how our results would have been different if we had a Government that really embraced Europe and not have UKIP making a load of noise about how bad being in Europe is.

I think it could work for Bastille or One Direction. I know Bastille have performed in Switzerland before and France and Italy and Germany and Sweden and Norway before

Your getting Europe mixed up with the EU, hating the EU doesn't mean you hate Europe as a whole

[Deleted User] · 10/05/14 - 23:24

It is political, you only have to look at the reaction Russia are getting tonight.
(Im not condoning Russia's recent actions at all)

EveT1991 · 10/05/14 - 23:27

I know that Emeli Sande has toured in different countries before as well

Tonight has just shown how right UKIP are even more.

Cornchips · 10/05/14 - 23:28

nope. Choose as who we have or what song we have we will never win.

adamski94 · 10/05/14 - 23:29

I say pull out and watch it crumble without our money

Spot on. We are wasting our money on it. Might as well flush that cash down the toilet.

Aneechik · 10/05/14 - 23:32

No, it would destroy their career.

We have won before
with this classic song which is lovely https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhq_Q1Ut8SQ

We've tried lots of approaches. One day it will work.

Look at the Netherlands who failed to escape the semi final for about seven years. Or Austria who haven't won since the mid 1960s. Top two tonight!

Our day will come - but it might be decades as there are up to 40 countries who can win.

EveT1991 · 10/05/14 - 23:35

United Kingdom should not pull out at all we are part of Europe and we have every right to be in it
