December 2, 201014 yr 06 - Totally! What a wasted opportunity :( . I wonder what we'll have representing us next year :mellow: 13 - Ooh Ahh would definitely be up there in my 90's list, but not sure about Den Vilda - might scrape in. Thanks Luke :D 6. I shudder to think. I keep my hopes rock bottom for the UK entry and then I can't be disappointed :lol: We've sent some serious crap over the past ten years! I'd like to hope that the BBC put some serious effort into it as I really think we could still win it with a great, contemporary, widely accessible pop song like Satellite, but the only area we ever seem to exceed in at ESC is with the big ballads. Eurovision pop to the BBC = cheesy late 90's trash/Steps rejects.

There was talk of the BBC making more of an effort next year due to Germany being big sporting rivals with the UK/England, but it'll probably result in something even worse than Josh Dubovie. Then there's also talk of Mika doing our entry which will be just as bad imo :drama: . I still can't believe the names they turned away this year - Katie Melua, The Pipettes, Patrick Wolf, Hurts... Absolutely scandalous! Edited December 2, 201014 yr by Ghosthunter

Absolutely scandalous! I completely agree - imagine a National Final with those artists - would have been pure class! Yet we get crap 80's rejects in the end :(

December 7, 201014 yr 01 - Shocking as in surprising, or shocking as in shockingly bad? :kink: I love it either way :wub: 05 - I always aim for victory :kink: . No, my main aim is to enter songs that I love and with three weeks at the top on my chart there was no way I couldn't enter it :wub: 34 - Totally agree, I was surprised it did so well actually - Latvia nearly always enter excellent interesting tunes but fail badly in the scoring, so for them to get a top 3 is great! What did you think of the German entry? 46 - I know :( , but I still really like it and you're welcome :) Great to see some love for The Storm too! 01 - Of course shocking as in surprising :D 05 - I understand, I think Cheryl will be successful, so good luck ^_^ 34 - Yes, it's shame how many good tracks score badly :( Latvia, Portugal and many more :( There were 16th in my list, I liked this song, but I don't think it was worth a win :drama: What did you think about it? Did you like it?

Did you like it? It is quite bizarre how so many great songs don't pick up points. I wasn't keen on the German entry at all sadly, I think it might be my least favourite of all the winners since I joined the contest. I'm hoping a country that hasn't won before will win this month, I think Armenia stand a great chance this month with their debut entry!

I would to see an another country to win I think it's not going to happen, is it? :drama: Armenia stand a chance, 'Sone' is among my 39 favorites, but I don't think I will send her any point :( Who knows maybe it will grow on me a lot later :P
