December 15, 200816 yr Author Great thread idea :wub: Thanks! Thanks :D Please let me know if their are any mistakes anyone! -_-

December 17, 200816 yr Wow, surprised about Big Brovaz and Brian Harvey! BB on reflection would have been a great entrant for us. BH less so.
December 18, 200816 yr Big Bro Thang is amazing song. I still listen to it at least once a week :lol: Shame it didn't represent us, as i think the Eastern Europeans (as well as Western) would have liked it :( I love it :D I was convinced it would sail through to the final, especially as everyone i knew thought it was the only decent song competing :lol: Before it, i though 'hmmm....maybe Justin Hawkins will do it as hes still quite famous'. Then i heard the song an thought 'errrrrrrrrrrm...no' :lol:
December 18, 200816 yr I actually loved Justin Hawkins song. Not that I can remember how it goes now. But in all honesty Scooch was about the worst choice we could have made, in terms of getting votes.
December 19, 200816 yr Author Cyndi should have represented us instead of Scooch! I have no doubt that we would have finished Top 5 if she had! :wub: Also Dear Jon in 1995 would have won for us but instead we sent Love City Groove :nocheer:
December 19, 200816 yr I didn't rate Dear Jon much, but even Deuce would have done much better for us. (I loved Deuce actually, and though you can make comparisons with Scooch, it was the time that that style would have worked for us, and the gimmick wasn't so painfully obvious).
April 29, 200916 yr I thought Lordi charted last 2006. :huh: This is *UK* Eurovision entries. British ones only. But yes, Lordi - Hard Rock Hallelujah peaked at 25, chart run 59-{25}-36-58-69 and 5 weeks on.
April 29, 200916 yr This is *UK* Eurovision entries. British ones only. But yes, Lordi - Hard Rock Hallelujah peaked at 25, chart run 59-{25}-36-58-69 and 5 weeks on. Oh right. :D I was thinking of UK Chart Runs of Eurovion entries, if not just British ones.
May 10, 200916 yr Not a very good one though :heehee: Anyway, we will see if Jade makes the top 75 today...
