Uk Eurovision Entry

[vernonk]

These are the rubbish entries we have to pick from: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-38718362
I wouldn't want to listen to any of those again, let alone buy them. You?

Oh God....its not that time of year again is it !

May 13 is the Big Day mikey. In Kyiv's International Exhibition Centre. I know you can't wait :-)

I heard three on the Ken Bruce show yesterday. Computer written dross by the sound of them.

I bet you one of the pretty young women gets the eurovision gig. Same thing every tv contest incl Bake Off these days - they want the PYTs for the publicity they can attain.

The UK could be given a 200 point lead and still snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

We once ruled the waves, sorry, that was Katrina.

[vernonk]

These are all so bland. Not one good tune among them

//I wouldn't want to listen to any of those again//
i think you did well to listen to them all the way through once ...

[ichkeria]

Freedom Hearts sounds the 'best' out of those.
The first and the last truly are dire. The way to win is to get the entry played as much as possible in the competing countries

[Old_Geezer]

They are dross & bland ? Maybe we have a good chance this year then. You know that Eurovision dislikes quality.

[murraymints]

can't remember any of them !

I don't agree OG. Lena was great in 2010 with Satellite, as was Conchita in 2014.
I also like a couple of the Swedish ones. Euphoria and Heroes spring to mind

I thought that we were pulling out of the "European" scams. :))

[murraymints]

not the same without Wogan

I look forward to no imperfections in any of the entries thanks due to the presenter.

It's called the Norton anti-virus.

[Togo]

Wasn't it all those "nil points" that caused Brexit. (^_*)

[mushroom25]

mmmmm. Eurovision isn't so much about songs, but is now just an international popularity contest with some audio "entertainment" thrown in. good to see that the BBC are affording it the importance it deserves though, by employing some total no-hopers to be its contenders - rather like Father Ted's "my lovely horse".....

Last year's winner was about as 'unbland' as you can get.
I wonder if Salena Mastroianni's pleas to 'put down our weapons' might be taken as a comment on the Trident missile misfiring?
No, neither do I ...

[pastafreak]

Freedom Hearts was the only one I could listen to till the end. Had a contemporary Brexit vibe...;-))

I listened to about 10 seconds of each of the first three songs. Couldn't face any more. Dreary, and terrible lyrics.
