May 11, 201213 yr Author Did Engelbert say UK will be performing first. I missed that bit. Graham mentioned it and Engelbert said that he's glad he's going first so he doesn't have to wait until 4am Baku time when his voice may not be as good.
May 12, 201213 yr So pleased the Graham Norton performance has had such a positive impact on sales - It entered at #99 on iTunes and is now up to #61 restoring my faith that this song could be a hit!
May 12, 201213 yr He performed it live on Ireland's Late Late Show last night and was interviewed by presenter Ryan Tubridy. Jedward performed Waterline earlier in the show and sounded really off-key.
May 12, 201213 yr Graham mentioned it and Engelbert said that he's glad he's going first so he doesn't have to wait until 4am Baku time when his voice may not be as good. Lying bast*rd. 26th country will be done by 2am.
May 12, 201213 yr Author Lying bast*rd. 26th country will be done by 2am. I thought that too when he said it, does he not know that the results have to be done too? :kink:
May 12, 201213 yr Couple of jokes from Graham included: My favourite one was Graham wishing he won't be sat next to [on the plane] the sort of fanboys who go every year before showing a photo of Jedward. Great performance, very classy, top 10 should be manageable but I'm not expecting anything more than that.
May 13, 201213 yr So pleased he managed to chart today even if it is only at #64! I think his apperance on Graham Norton saved him from a #78 smash hit! :lol: Really hope he will go Top 40 after the contest and i think his album will easily be Top 10 next week
May 13, 201213 yr I love what his official website/store have hashed together for Eurovision :lol: :lol: http://www.engelbert.com/product/eurovision
May 15, 201213 yr Ha, who said Now never support our Eurovision entries! http://www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/30680116/N...in/Product.html :lol:
May 15, 201213 yr You really got my hopes up for a "Now That's What I Call Eurovision" compilation there, Rich! :heehee:
May 16, 201213 yr Ha, who said Now never support our Eurovision entries! http://www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/30680116/N...in/Product.html :lol: Quite random that they have included Engelbert though as he has yet to 'prove' himself at the contest with the song or indeed turn it into a hit single yet!

May 16, 201213 yr Did anyone see him on This Morning earlier in the week. He had his microphone down by his hip for most of it. It was really strange.
May 17, 201213 yr Odd, I always thought Hurts were very much up for entering for the UK. Maybe it's a case of "once bitten, twice shy" after they were rejected a couple of years back in favour of Pete Waterman.
May 17, 201213 yr Oh, you think they might have been rejected again? That would be awful, rejected once in favour of Waterman and twice in favour of Engelbert. That's just insulting if so. :lol:
May 17, 201213 yr Hurts are more popular in a number of other European countries than they are in the UK. If they had been our entry I think they would have done very well. If they were rejected in favour of Humperdinck that seems a very strange decision. OTOH the band may have decided it wasn't for them. Success in Eurovision might not be what they need to achieve more success in the UK. Of course, with the right song (which Theo Hutchcraft is certainly capable of writing) they could have achieved both.
