Next in the series, what have you made of the UK's constant top tens in the 1990s and constant flops in the last decade? Hopefully the 2010's will bring us more success and maybe even a win :w00t: you may have a -1 and 11 if you wish with everything else as you desire.

Ronnie Mitchell did a good job in 1991! Wasn't a fan at all of Andy or James Fox, the nineties were fairly consistent, even Love City Groove wasn't awful. Gina G's song is easily my favourite UK entry of all time and reminds me of a lot more than just the contest - probably because it was such a massive chart hit anyway and was everywhere for months! Daz, Precious, Katrina, Jade, Jessica and Scooch (:kink:) all bring back memories of various things for me as well :D

even I had a life at one point when I avoided BuzzJack for a day and a half between Wednesday morning and Thursday evening :heehee: I visited Coventry and Leamington Spa to see if it looked like a decent place to spend the next year (to do a course) - Coventry is HIDEOUS but Leamington Spa was nice! I remain undecided though :(

Gonna rate since 1997 as i'm not acquainted with any of the earlier songs :(

Scooch are absolutely dreadful. Katrina will always be my favourite unless UK pick Marina & The Diamonds for ESC. :D

 

I was almost inevitably always going to like whatever Scooch came up with seeing as at one point in 2000 they were my favourite band. For Sure was amazing :wub: Flying The Flag became something of a uni anthem, particularly when that horrendously cheap video surfaced :lol: LOVE THE SONG :heart: Malta knew what they were doing giving us 12! I honestly couldn't believe it when it went top 5 in the UK though :mellow: As for a 10 for Andy Abraham here, I can only assume it holds some sort of similar nostalgia for you, seeing as it's a completely forgettable borefest :heehee:

I actually prefer Even If to My Time, the latter being the borefest tbh (however i like the song too) :kink:

 

It's My Time had a melody at least, whenever I try to remember Even If I can't even remember which key it's sung in. I can recall vague details of the song like the intro and parts of the first verse but I honestly can't remember the whole chorus. Hitstastic did a mash-up of it with Michael Jackson's Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough, however, and that was fantastic!

I vaguely recall the guitar riff at the beginning of Even If. Oh, and that he said 'Even if I try...' or something like that. Truly, truly dire entry.

Scooch stumped me a bit. I despise them so so much after it beat Cyndi by just a few thousand votes, but the song is rather catchy it has to be said. :(
