I usually watch Eurovision because I like to see what Europe is up to. I assume countries like France and Spain are in the same boat as UK, i.e the artists have accepted they won't win and it would be career suicide to enter while the Eastern countries enter their best acts, is that right?


Anyway all the songs seem generally poor. I had a lot of respect for Turkey (at least I think it was Turkey) because they dared enter artists who knew how to play instruments. I think they were a band. Awesome - actual musicians, shame it wasnt in English, then I may have liked it :( Or not, who knows?

I thought Greece was pretty poor, I couldn't see how it got so many votes.

I hope people don't think UK's entry was what people here listen to. That would be depressing, we have so much better music.

Now I ask this question, if you could choose any singer and song to enter for your country, who would you put in?

I would probably put in 'The Hoosiers' with either Goodbye Mr. A or Worried about Ray because I think the upbeat nature of the songs would win over some eastern votes and because they are real musicians who play instuments AND sing at the same time! Probably wouldnt win though. One of the band is from Stockholm, is that allowed?

Celtic vs Rangers and similar clashes do not really count I am afraid.
Its not a war anyway, they just hate us I'm afraid.

P.S. Latvia was awesome but their song is a football chant! (thats why its awesome)
