Is this another joke after the epic fail of Englebert and his embarrassingly dire song ?

A female Michael Bolton, she just screams and shouts with very little control and a "voice" like a bucket of gravel.

Bonnie's got class & street-cred.
It should be a walk-over.

[emmie]

yes and several threads testify to it, dross...

Interesting choice.

I am surprised that he powers-that-be have not learned from last year - that a 'veteran' doesn't cut it with Eurovision audiences - we shall see.

Andy, the type of musician who could get anywhere in Eurovision wouldn't dream of going near it, so we are stuck with this sort of act.

Why do we continue with this once a year spectacle of embarrassment where we again drag a "has been" out of retirement to make us all cringe again?

[ladybirder]

I used to love Bonnie Tyler but that is just embarrassing. Why do we keep doing this to ourselves? Who's idea to send a 61-year-old?
I don't watch it anyway but feel sorry for those that actually care.

In Sweden, well she got Lost in France, however I think it's a Heartache well need top hold out a hero.

She will be totally eclipsed

She won`t win. The UK won`t win because of all the political voting. Ex-Soviet states voting for their neighbours, anti UK/US sentiment due to involvement in foreign wars etc. Britain produces some of the best popular music in the world - we don`t need Eurovision. It`s dross (and I can`t stand Bonnie Tyler either).
