that would be a bad idea - could anyone realistically see someone like Stevie McCrorie or Jermain Jackman doing well at Eurovision? We'd get less than 10 points like what happened with Electro Velvet. Would much rather the BBC actually TRY again to score a decent hit at Eurovision. They did with Molly but clearly have given up after she underperformed.

However, Chris's suggestion does highlight a problem with the idea of reviving A Song For Europe. It would mean the BBC would have to move The Voice. If they wanted The Voice to remain a Saturday night show, that would create a scheduling problem. |

These days, I'll be happy if we sent something which didn't make my toes curl. Utter bag of shit this year, Guy Freeman should be ashamed of himself. Idiot!

The sad thing is that Hurts have offered to do it in the past. They also showed an email on Twitter asking them to possibly do it. Instead, they opted for Englebert Humperdinck. Hurts are well known on the continent and I'm sure would do very well. They've actually hinted too that they'd write for the Russian entry as the British don't seem to want them.

Hurts would be fabulous. If it's true the BBC turned them down they need a rocket up the ar*e for being as thick as a supermassive black hole. At the very least it would give a UK entry some credibility and show that young-ish UK acts and songwriters would be willing to go for it to shake off the naff tag which only the UK still seem to have. Meanwhile the UK continue to look stupid as winning acts sell bucketloads across Europe and viewing figures remain massive.

I'll try to find the info. Theo posted it somewhere and I'll post it on here when I find it.

I'd rather have Electro Velvet than Hurts.

I dunno that Blue are any better than anything else we've sent to the contest. Maybe the Hurts song wasn't good enough, but if they wanted them to do it surely they could have said yes and asked them to write something else? Maybe I'm just naive.  I found the link and the info about it and sorry Vulker, I didn't realise it was you who'd posted it on another thread. I just knew I'd seen it somewhere. It's my age lol http://www.nme.com/news/hurts/63850 http://www.gigwise.com/news/80052/hurts-th...rovision-better This post has been edited by Mybelle: 22nd June 2015, 06:29 PM |

They are popular in some European countries, and a Eurovision entry is unlikely to change that. They are still relatively unknown in the UK, so a Eurovision entry could raise their profile. Just do it! |

Well Hurts would probably be a good idea, so of course the BBC would shoot that down

After listening to Hurts latest album, this is the type of song we need to win the competition. It would be amazing to hear them singing this - Nothing will be bigger than us.
