UK euro-song is a nil points dead cert!

They've chosen it tonight and its awful dreck. All very lo-power ballardy but without much in the way of catchy hooks.

Poor auld GB, they really are the 51st state...

Looks like an abandoned scene for The Bodyguard 2. I'm sure the stage production of The Lion King will be hiring in June (she can sing after all).

Seems like par for the course for the Eurovision in general. :rolleyes:

She'd want to learn how to sing

I've been down

Down so long

What's going on in her head when she's singing that? Like, is she for real? Does she believe what she's singing? Cosmic...

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

it's not exactly Hard Rock Hallelujah, is it. Still, we're bound to give her a few points.

My god, what an awful pile of ****. The lyrics are some of the most horrible, cynical crap I've heard, and the music feels like an attempt to bland the listeners to death.

TBH the thing should be scrapped....it has become a joke.

Lloyd Webber must have pulled that tune out of his PCs recycle bin.

remember there is over 100,000 Brits in Ireland(notice nobody mentions them 'takin our jobs') who most likely give the points to the UK.

hmmm at least it's really really really boring instead of just really really boring because that way I'll remember that it's the worst thing I've ever heard (including crazy frog and my parents having passionate sex).

Regardless of your crass political point, last year UK got zero points so your point FAILS! :pac:

Shouldn't we wait until we hear how bad our entry will be before criticising the Brits?

Mossy Monk

One would think the UK like Ireland do not want to win the Eurovision.

That really is an awful song.

Uggh, why does she breathe like that?

Well, it's a little like this: Unbelievably bad song is unbelievably bad.

If we put forward a crap song, that won't mitigate the undeniable crapness of the UK song. It'll still be a shamelessly dire piece of junk with hideous self referential ego-stroking lyrics.

Probably because she once heard Mariah Carey/Beyonce/Leona Lewis/Alexandra Burke.

Woeful crap that sounds like a bad Disney movie soundtrack.

Dear christ that's ****. I wonder if anyone has done a correlation with sh*tness in the Eurovision compared to economic failure yet.
