February 7, 200817 yr I still think Scooch is the best act we have had since 2002! Actually i LOVED Daz Sampson teenage Life! The eurovision isnt done very fairly as all the countries that are near each other vote for each other! Which is why we never win! And the UK have really bad timings for things! Because when we do an up tempo one the others do soft nice ballads and when we do the nice ballad everyone else does fast, upbeat rocky sort of songs! I think Eurovision should be given a theme for every year! Leona will be the only one to do well in the eurovision lets get her, she can sing, everyone will remember her and shes already huge in europe for her huge single 'Bleeding Love' (Oh i can dream cant i? lol)
February 7, 200817 yr My favourite act from another country was definately Last Years - Kate Ryan - Je T'adore I still (To this day) cant believe it didnt make it to the final! Perhaps it was one of them They'll get all the votes so we wont vote for them!
February 7, 200817 yr Kate Ryan was 2006 and was indeed amazing Leona would NEVER do Eurovision...she's already successful in many parts of the world so it would be pointless
February 7, 200817 yr In 2004, Switzerland got 0 points. The person who represented them in 1998 - who also failed to score (unfairly, imo) - said that it was because they've got no friends. In 2005, Switzerland got 128pts and finished 8th. So there's hope for us all. (Before anything is said, I know they were represented by an Estonian act - I doubt they got their points simply from Estonia's friends.) point taken. do we know who's going for it yet?

Cool Vibes should have won :wub: If the UK sent something of that standard to Eurovision, I'm sure we wouldn't finish in the bottom 5 all the time

February 14, 200817 yr format sounds interesting...I'm intrigued by the three categories...perhaps its different genres?!? hopefully they picked 6 good songs instead of 6 z-list celebrities

February 14, 200817 yr I can see it now: Category A: Failed pop bands Category B: Complete unknowns who are unknown because they're rubbish Category C: Flop novelty $h!te.

February 17, 200817 yr Author I don't get the need for categories tbh, especially as they're having a wildcard. :lol: Still, makes it a bit more exciting I guess! :D Do we know when the people are gonna be announced yet?
February 18, 200817 yr I don't get the need for categories tbh, especially as they're having a wildcard. :lol: Still, makes it a bit more exciting I guess! :D Do we know when the people are gonna be announced yet? I really don't see how it's so exciting this year. It's still 6 acts, who will probably be of the same calibur of previous years, as the format is pretty much the same except it's being drawn out longer.
