wee mike Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 The U.K. Will never win. Elton John could sing his best ever number and we would still finish bottom half. It's all politics. If you think we have any chance of wining including the folk performing for us then you're deluded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latino Lover Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Obviously it's not all politics under the new system, maybe half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionel hutz Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 It seems we have a tie. All choices have been deleted except those that are tied for the lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionel hutz Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 In all seriousness, Amy MacDonald would win it no bother. A landslide. Yes. She probably would. But would she want to do it? I'm no sure. Then again she's done the 8-11am show on Clyde 1/TayFM on a Sunday Morning for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 The Proclaimers would be our first choice and we'd easily double England's effort before failing to qualify for another five years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 The Proclaimers would be our first choice and we'd easily double England's effort before failing to qualify for another five years. Quite why the Proclaimers in their relevant pomp were never chosen, I have no idea. Possibly too stereotypically Scottish-twee for the wider UK audience. Still, they could have been contenders.

Plus it's a separate Scottish entry not a UK entry. This techno tune is perfect for Europe: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullerene Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Let's face it - the song for Scotland would probably be something like Shang-a-Lang by the Bay City Rollers Somewhat naff, somewhat annoying - full of silly lyrics - with people bouncing about in a somewhat manic way Sounds like a Eurovision song to me. (.. and they wearing silly costumes with tartan on them - which I am told is somewhat Scottish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11thHour Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 It tends to be smaller artists that do Eurovision So you're saying Biffy Clyro are a small band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menzel Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 The U.K. Will never win. Elton John could sing his best ever number and we would still finish bottom half. It's all politics. If you think we have any chance of wining including the folk performing for us then you're deluded This is actually nonsense considering the changes to the voting structure that were initially enacted after 2009. The problem with the UK is often that it's not about big names or big acts, but a song that tends to tap into various national/cultural music tastes; and that's just the first part of it. Now that the contest is truly a visual spectacle, the BBC have failed to keep up with it - The UK had a good draw late on in the competition, and a song that wasn't the worst (this also applies to Molly in 2014), but the staging was an utter catastrophe and likely cost votes.
