Eurovision deja vu

Only two weeks until it returns. Yes, the annual Eurovision song debacle is nearly here and once again the media is speculating on the UK's chances of winning the world's most political voting competition, presumably forgetting that in recent years we have struggled to achieve a single vote rather than the ultimate prize. Since Russia's formal exclusion for "bringing the competition into disrepute" (yes it's true) it seems inevitable that Royaume Uni will once again prop up the long list of European countries (like Australia) to take the Laughing Stock of Europe Award for attempts at popular music.

To be fair to the UK's thankless representatives, most of the other entries, particularly those from Eastern Europe, are considerably poorer attempts at music than our own, but just in case anyone is in the slightest bit interested, here is our losing entry for 2022. It's not bad actually. Order your beer and popcorn for another fun night in.

It generally reflects all that's wrong with the plastic pop industry & I've only caught snippets of it since ABBA won a while ago.
I've never heard of Sam Ryder, but had a listen expecting an "undah undah undah undah" type rhythm, but TBF he's got a good voice & it's quite a good song. Nul Points surely then.

Only the weird and not so wonderful seem to make it.

I imagine this guy was on there....

Wait for the chorus


Maybe this too..

 
I think this year's UK entry is going to surprise a few people on the big night. For once the BBC have got their act together, and are really promoting this song around Europe. Plus it is currently 4th favorite to win with the bookie's.

Ukraine will win it, they could come out hitting kittens with hammers and passing the screams off as a song and they'll still win it, which obviously they should, who's not going to vote for them?

Does anyone have the bricks to not go along with global liberalism's cause du jour? Are Hungary and Serbia in it?
 
Anyone with an IQ above 10 will tell you that the U.K. consistently makes the best music in Europe.
I’m not going to let a politically motivated back slapping circus sham convince me otherwise.
People only watch it to laugh at the OTT wacky factor.
 
Why do we enter?
We're in Europe only geographically, we're not in the EEC.
We will NEVER win again however good a song is.
