Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
As long as the block voting continues there wont be a hope in hell that England or Ireland will win the Eurovision. They could put in the best singer in the world and have the best song and it still wouldn't win.

Not true. As Germany proved on Saturday night.
As I said earlier, I missed Ireland's song so I can't comment on it. But I know why the UK came bottom. It was because the song, and the performance of it, were utterly, utterly awful.
We were not the victims of block voting, we were the victims of a BBC production that, for some reason, really didn't seem to give two short smegs about Eurovision this year. The "Your Country Needs You" show that was screened earlier this year was absolutely abysmal, from the half dozen utter no-hoper acts that were booked, to the studio production itself: cheap, nasty and with a very obvious lack of rehearsal time. Even the silver-tongued Norton kept tripping over his lines and missing his cues.

It wasn't a good song or performance... the winner was a bit crap too though... the vocals were a bit dodgy!

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
I think it's really disappointing. I think it's actually one of those really good things that unites the whole continent, which is actually quite rare as we all have very little to do with each other most of the time! The whole Eurovision organisation achieves that very well - the Song Contest being a small part of it.
I think the issue is that we, as a nation, are just too un-European to do well at it. All we need to do is enter one of our really good pop acts that are already known in Europe - Pixie Lott or one of the other female artists? - and we'd do really well.
The trouble is that, for the record companies, the risk of failure is too great.
The reason why Germany did well this year is that Lena's record company let her enter despite the risk of failure.
Germany's win is a nay-say to all those who say that block voting is the biggest problem in the contest. Don't get me wrong, I sighed when Cyprus gave Greece loads of points (although this is pretty understandable - he was singing in Greek), but the overall winner typically went well out in front of the rest.

England won't win the contest, it's the UK that enters.

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010

guess who refused to bail out Greece ,and the sinking ship that is the Euro
what a load of old politics this "competition" is

Who asked us to bail out Greece? And who would care, apart from Greeks?!

Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2010
We didn't win because of the bloody immigrants in this country taking our jobs, not blending in, building mosques on every corner, wearing burka's, stealing our cable blah blah blah. Actually where we went wrong is the performer wasn't an attractive, fit bird. If it had been, we might not have won but we certainly wouldn't have come last.

What has that got to do with a competition where about two thirds of the finalists come from countries that don't even use the Euro? And most of them aren't even in the EU?
