Eurovision and why the UK does not win ?

[Blue Valkyrie]

Farage ( wanker) must be lapping it up. Too few ENGLISH overseas to influence the FOREIGN votes

United Kingdom humiliation at the Eurovision song contest is another reason to vote to leave the European union In my opinion

 

[beorhthelm]

does anyone know why they insist on the French speaking still, when the largest language in the Eurovision zone is Russian?

no one knows what nul points is in russian

 

[Eeyore]

Yep that's only because there is so many people in China. For the rest of the world English is the most important language.

I think Spanish is the most common native language after Mandarin. But I guess English is the most widely spoken if you include second tongues.

The UK were favourites to finish LAST but at the same time they were the bookmakers biggest liability to win.
The market is AWASH with mug money.

 

[Robot Chicken]

The UK needs give up the Big Five privilege and compete in the Semi Final. Since 1980 the Big Five have only won Eurovision 5 times (Germany x 2, UK x 2, Italy x 1). Get a good song, a well known band, get some buzz about the song going and get people voting for the song in the semi finals.

 

[Hyperion]

Just enter a bloody good up an coming band with a thumping good tune. Also, aren't we one of the few counties that decide our entry to the Eurovision that is not by public vote? Why the F****** F*** did Englebert Humpadick ever get to represent us recently? We are simply out of favour and out of touch. We are the Kemy Agustein of Eurovision

 

[Pavilionaire]

It comes down to fear and jealousy. Like Germany, France and Spain we're big enough to be hated without being so big we'd pick up votes for fear of invasion.

The most offensive thing Sweden's ever done to me is forget to put an Allan key into a box of flat pack furniture, and their women are fit. What's not to like?

That blond bird from Abba was very fit

 

[The Spanish]

oh come off it we rule pop music. It's like having a kick about with kids, we are letting them nut Meg us and everything and going oh wow well played. If we wheeled out a big gun every year we could walk it, but we let them have their day in the sun.

 

[Stato]

It would be funny just for one year to talk Steve Harris into entering Iron Maiden's latest record, just to watch all these Eastern European countries who never give us a sniff chiming in with deux points after deux points from their metal fans. It would be a nice way of saying to the rest of Eurovision: 'This is what happens if we try even slightly. Next year, we can call Adele or Elton John or would you prefer us to go back to laughing at it?'

 

[Chicken Run]

When we leave Europe after the referendum it won't matter anymore

I know it's exciting isn't it, but alas we I'm certain would remain in the EBU, which is what the contest is all about.

I know you're on a wind up but just in case someone actually believes your ridiculous statement, they are two entirely different organisations - we leave the EU and we'll still be able to send our utter toilet acts to this competition to get almost last place.

 

[Murray 17]

Maybe so, but when I listen to a song I don't care to much about the lyrics, rather how it sounds, the French song that won many years ago being an example. Not sure what it was called 'jean jour yamour rat a tat a tat' sounded great, didn't have a clue what it was about.

Did you mean 'Chanson D'amour' by the American pop group The Manhatten Transfer? Catchy tune but never entered into Eurovision.

[sir albion]

We'll never be voted well as the twats hate us....saying that the song was awful anyway

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

If we started choosing songs which weren't steaming piles of shite we might have a chance of doing a little better. It's not all a conspiracy.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Frankly the UK entry was shit.

However too many Eastern Blocs voting for their mates.

Im glad that the other European countries stick to voting for a good song.

Back in the day it was a running joke about Greece/Cyprus and awarding each other 10/12 points. Now with all these pointless Baltic entries is beyond a joke.

 

[maltaseagull]

Twitter last night showed how he wasn't appreciated by some of his European colleagues who cannot understand why the UK doesn't seem to take it seriously.

How can anyone take it seriously?

Engelbert Humperdink represented us FFS!!!!! Maybe 50 years ago he might have won.
