February 10, 201213 yr Definitely Jedward >> x 1000 >> J.B. for me too, and I can't stand Jedward. The sad thing is, I could see him doing quite alright with the juries, in an Italy 2011 sort of way, and he could give us a really high finish. But I'd find it hard to support him unless the song was so astounding that it would make me forget about my intense dislike for him.
February 10, 201213 yr Lest we forget that we'd be voting for a EUROVISION song rather than a song we LIKE, eh John? :manson:
February 10, 201213 yr Pretending? I'm offended. He'll not necessarily be great musically but fabulous nonetheless. He's about as fabulous as toothache. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa129/Hitstastic/Batidas/sarcasm.gif Sadly I think GD makes a valid point. JB probably would do well at Eurovision but still... ** shudders **
February 10, 201213 yr Pretending? I'm offended. He'll not necessarily be great musically but fabulous nonetheless. John Barrowman is the very antithesis of fabulous. Even aside from the fact I think he's a monumental TWAT, his singing voice is very karaoke and he would no doubt end up with something cheesier than That Sounds Good To Me. Far from going down well with the jury, all I can see is him being a laughing stock. The public might well like him though because he's what ''Eurovision is ABOUT'' or some such shit.
February 10, 201213 yr Lest we forget that we'd be voting for a EUROVISION song rather than a song we LIKE, eh John? :manson: He's the reason we had to STOP doing national finals. Once he'd backed something for the win that was it, the public went with whatever he prophesised as 'the best Eurovision song', his idea of Eurovision being dated kitsch. I can't remember if he was responsible for Andy Abraham but I'm placing the blame on him anyway, even iirc it was Terry Wogan that kept pleading with everyone to vote for Even If. He even stepped down from his commentating job when Andy finished last! The Revelations' It's You was robbed!
February 10, 201213 yr The Revelations' It's You was robbed! Poor The Revelations. :( They were surprisingly of the time when you consider the rise of Duffy in 2008. They could well have given the UK a decent placing on the final scoreboard.
February 11, 201213 yr John Barrowman?! It had f***ing better not be. :manson: Horrendous. I imagine there'll be quite a backlash if he is chosen though...
February 11, 201213 yr A backlash From Eurovision nuts, yes. Sadly, I imagine the public would be quite happy with the choice, him being a relatively well known, and for whatever reason quite popular, name here...
February 11, 201213 yr A backlash From Eurovision nuts, yes. Sadly, I imagine the public would be quite happy with the choice, him being a relatively well known, and for whatever reason quite popular, name here... I'm not so sure... I think over the past few years, the public have realised that we send rubbish half of the time. Unless that's just the people that I talk to, and I've drummed it into their heads...
February 11, 201213 yr I'm not so sure... I think over the past few years, the public have realised that we send rubbish half of the time. Unless that's just the people that I talk to, and I've drummed it into their heads... Oh yeah, the public know that we send rubbish but as much as I can't stand him, John Barrowman doing a musical style song would be seen as far more respectable/authentic to the general public than the likes of Scooch, Daz Sampson and Josh Dubovie. I'd chuck the newspaper at the wall every time I opened one which said 'finally, the BBC are taking things seriously with a well known established performer', not really understanding that it's a decent contemporary song with widespread appeal that we need, not some old dated theatrical piece - or worse J.B. does Euro kitsch :drama: It's all rumours anyway, no concrete evidence so far so I won't say too much more on the matter :lol:
February 11, 201213 yr If John Barrowman represented the UK wearing a silvery grey suit and tie, with backing dancers wearing red, white and blue outfits whilst dancing over enthusiastically to a 130 bpm Hi-NRG dance/pop track, I think even I would be embarrassed to witness such a thing. It mustn't happen!!! :angry: Channel 5, please buy the rights to broadcast Eurovison... :(
February 11, 201213 yr The rumours that I've heard are MUCH worse than Jedward. :blink: Are you kidding me, why can't they send Birdy instead.
February 11, 201213 yr I think Jedward would be worse than JB. What little left of Jedwards novelty has completely worn off now... having said that, JB is a bit of a c u next tuesday agreed so I will be mortified if he is selected (but would have a considerably better chance of winning). Until we win it (which is sometime between never and ever), the BBC will never be able to send anyone current. It will only ever be a "has-been" or someone from total obscurity. Eurovision is quite savvy musically these days, some spunky pop with dubstep is a good idea... maybe?
February 11, 201213 yr :blink: Are you kidding me, why can't they send Birdy instead. You know, I feel that would actually be a good thing to do..
February 11, 201213 yr Perhaps she could go to Baku with cover of a slowed down Fairytale. Played on piano obviously. :D Edited February 11, 201213 yr by Ljósið

February 11, 201213 yr 'The Vault meets Scooch' is on the music channel The Vault tomorrow at 12pm and a few more times during the next week, I saw it when it was on Wednesday and it was a decent watch. The second half focuses primarily on their Eurovision experience! Didn't even realise they were still together but they've been doing a 'Scooch does Glee' tour of the clubs and prides etc...!
February 12, 201213 yr The Vault is one of the most bizarre music channels going. More often than not, they show music videos from pop groups between 1997-2002, a time when I thought British pop music was at its absolute worst. :lol: The very idea of a "911 Vs A1 Special". :manson: Hmm, 911 for Eurovision? Can't be any worse than John Barrowman. :D
February 12, 201213 yr pop groups between 1997-2002, a time when I thought British pop music was at its absolute worst. :lol: Agreed. Aside from specific genres, pop in it's purest form was utter tosh. Terrible boybands is all I recall.
