 Eurovision: certainly the best reason to bomb and invade them. ever. The enormous gap between what US leaders do in the world and what Americans think their leaders are doing is one of the great propaganda accomplishments of the dominant political mythology. - Michael Parenti | |

I just watch after all the performances are over. Sir Terry Wogans' commentary is second to none. France and Germany were against the War and are in the same situation. I guess the Eastern countries don't like the idea of 4 countries (UK,F,D,E) that automatically qualify every year without semifinals and no matter what result they got the year before. I wonder how they'd like it if we all pulled out and made them pay for it themselves then. I thought the UK and Germany were quite good comparedto most of them. It was irritating that we'd get a bunch of small marks from about 10 countries, but some utter shit would get 2 sets of 12 from their neighbours, nothing from anyone else, but because of that would get ahead of better songs. | |

We wouldn't pass the semifinals. You can bet on that! | |

I mean pull out of the entire contest. It's obvious for the last 8 or so years the BBC couldn't be bothered to set-up a decent song selection process, and anyone with discernable talent wouldn't want to be associated with it anyway. I remember as a kid the "Song For Europe" programme was a prime time Friday/Saturday night thing. Now it's hidden away with Songs of Praise on a Sunday afternoon when no-one's watching, so most people aren't even aware we've selected a song at all.
For the Eastern European countries their entries are from their domestically popular singers. It's like a big honour for them and they actually put in an effort. | |

Italy did so long ago! They were the cleverest
As to Eastern countries sending their best acts, Belgium sent a superstar and didn't pass the semis either. Poor girl. | |

Totally! 
I HATE that programme.  Isn't it the world's longest running sitcom or something?
I can't believe they've managed to keep it going based on the same format every week: ~ meet in cafe ~ bicker ~ talk/look at Nora Batty's tights ~ one has a cunning plan ~ fast forward to hillside where one of them is rolling down the side in a barrel Bloody rubbish. | |
