Why are most Eurovision songs so bad? It gets an enormous audience and s a fantastic showcase for songwriters as well as singers, so why do all these nations churn out such tosh? It doesn't even represent what's in the charts
The key for me is: would I buy any of these songs, and the answer for years now has been "no". Last Eurovision song I loved was the German winner by Lena
Buenchicho - in defence of the UK vocalists, who are clearly badly out of tune - do I recall that there was a techno-glitch whereby the couldn't hear their backing track?
Andy, not sure about that but I do recall the opening song from Spain in 1990 started off disastrously for the same reason. The confused faces of the two female vocalists was priceless!
Brotherhood of Man won in 1976 but I give you a much better song technically. This is the Greek entry from Mariza Koch called 'Panaghia mou, Panaghia mou'.
