Sooky Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Couldn’t believe Australia came last in the public voting. Also, the travesty of Austria doing so well is that their song was offered to the BBC originally who rejected to take it to the You Decide competition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Ireland was woeful. The main voting scandal as far as I'm concerned is how badly Australia did. It was easily in the top five songs. Think the Irish song had a bit more significance to The Naitch, Sooky and myself than it did to most on P&B 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I'm down with the gay themes. I just thought the song was pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky88 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 3 hours ago, come on shire said: At least the UK avoided the wooden spoon. Decent song but politics doesn't help. I remember waking up when the Brexit result was announced. The first thing I thought was "we're fecked for Eurovision". Politics has nothing to do with it, if it did the same countries would win it every year. The UK entries are simply not memorable enough and don't have any sort of 'hook'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Correct. Our winning songs are:Puppet on a StringBoom Bang a BangSave All Your Kisses for MeMaking Your Mind UpLove Shine a LightPretty much all memorable even twenty/forty/fifty years later.I can't remember a single British entry since Katrina and the Waves. I've even forgotten this year's entry already.Write better, catchy, songs that stand out from the crowd and Britain can win again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have liked Hungary to win though as I'm a ferocious heterosexual, though not a practicing one at the moment. It was bizarre for China to ban it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estragon Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Nothing like an unattractive lassie singing about sexual harassment to bring the unabashed antisemitism out of the p&b Da' collective it seems... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Couldn’t believe Australia came last in the public voting. I doubt the Aussies will ever be anywhere near the top of the popular vote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Worth a try I suppose. New way of choosing British entry. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment/tv/eurovision-massive-shake-up-announced-by-bbc-and-theres-a-huge-twist/ar-BBQi6rb?MSCC=1543600837&ocid=spartandhp 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Naitch Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-46972754 So that's this year's hopefuls announced. Kerrie-Anne's version of Sweet Lies is the only Eurovision worthy attempt there so that gets my vote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
