So placing us at the bottom of the table out of a reactionary ideal that the UK (as well as the rest of the big 5, and by the way, awesome job on predicting Ruth last. Given only one of them was bottom 5 in the event the whole exercise was quite the ridiculous assumption) will always end up at the bottom of the table is better than listening to the song and judging based on what is in front of us?

 

Molly did not do that awfully and would never have done that awfully. You didn't 'know better', your predictions were trying (and failing) to make a point.

The big 5 should be done away with to make it more fair, not that the BBC would ever really agree to that as if we didn't qualify nobody would watch it.

 

However, the big five usually flop and I also got nearly everyone right in the top 10!

 

My predictions were more accurate than yours, you don't even know!

The 'big 5' have done fine over the last few years. In 2012, Germany, Spain and Italy were all in the top half and in 2011, Italy, Germany and the UK were all in the top half. So in the last four years, on two occasions there have been more of the 'big 5' in the top half than in the bottom half.

Like I said to you before, you predicted the same seven entrants in the top ten that EVERYONE ELSE did. And the Big Five DON'T usually flop - there's been at least one or two entrants from the Big Five in the top ten every year for the past five now. Considering they don't have to go through the semis (and on average have half of the weaker entries sifted out), they perform about as expected compared with everyone else.

 

And yet again, you predicted the songs that finished TWENTIETH AND TWENTY THIRD as your top two.

Radio 2 haven't playlisted any of the entries :( They often playlist the winner but obviously don't want Conchita on there. I'd have thought they might have added The Common Linnets as it's completely up their street and doing so well in the mids but obviously playlisting a runner-up isn't protocol. Molly's been removed too.

 

Annoys me that Eurovision entries aren't treated as 'proper songs' by radio in this country.

You're wasting your time.
