I loved Jemini's Cry Baby. It sounds so good on CD, but live on stage it didn't, sadly.

Easily Gina G ooh ahh just a little bit,
I liked a good few of the UK entries over the years, maybe not enough to win but enough to do better than they, Frances Ruffelle def deserved better and for me so did Nicki French, Daz Sampson and Scooch. This post has been edited by Feel_The_Fever: 18th May 2021, 04:59 PM |

My guilty pleasure is Eurovision 1977, there are so many great songs from that year. I wasn't a fan of 'Rock Bottom' initially, but it has grown on me. Thought it was worth a mention.
Not a fan of UK in the eurovision post 1997, but I still play 'My Last Breat' from last year, too bad it didn't get a chance. |

Imaani, Jessica Garlick and I’m never giving up, can’t remember who sang it, maybe mid 80’s.

Easily Gina G. It’s iconic and such an 90s anthem. There’s not a soul whining grew up with that couldn’t sing the entire song now of you put that on.

I haven't LOVED the UK entry for many years now, but the following are among my all-time favourite Eurovision entries: Gina G, Precious, Daz Sampson, Scooch, Jade Ewen, Blue and Molly. ALL of these deserved better, apart from Jade who probably did better than expected if anything.
And I understand Scooch's flop, but I love the song

I watched Daz Sampson's performance a while back, and that is sooooo cringe.

Sonia was great too and she gave it everything back in 93, as they are mentioned Precious were fairly good and Jade did brilliant, Blue was also quiet good and i do like the chorus of Bonnie Tylers entry.

QUOTE(common sense @ May 18 2021, 05:37 PM) One Step Further - Bardo - 1982 I much prefer this to Bucks Fizz Making Your Mind Up actually. The Gina G entry is great too as others on here have said. This post has been edited by sn👠ke: 24th May 2021, 08:14 PM |

I was quite a UK stan in the early 2000s, absolutely LOVED the string of Nicki French-Lindsay-Jessica Garlick-Jemini, and am still fond of all of those entries now.
Imaani and Gina G are probably my ultimate favourite non-winning UK entries though. Also got a lot of love for Vikki's Love Is from 85. While I liked a fair few of our recent entries at the time of the contest, none of them have particularly stuck with me as favourites. |

Unironically Electro Velvet (Blue was a bop too). I'm not really too familiar with our entries pre-2006 or so so I probably missed all of the good ones x
