Englebert will make a better job of it than a lot of what gone before....but as you all say....let's vote for our neighbour....then they will vote for us.,,,blindfold the judges,put the songs in random order without them seeing any previous acts,let the acts perform as Contestant A,Contestant B,and so on,not perfect but a better way.....let's hope when Albion enter Europe we'll do better!

I wondered how long it would be before we started to take the piss in this "competition".
Who is next, Tom Jones, Clive Dunn, Bryn Tyrfell?

Another poor decision by BBC as they obviously dont want to even try to win the competition. I read somewhere that Atomic Kitten was going to reform and represent us. I think that in the context of the contest they would have been better.

It's a ploy to ensure we don't win and therefore have to cover the costs of hosting next years contest ! We just have to hope the rest of the competing countries don't gang up to ensure we win !!!!!!!!

At a time when the BBC is making big cuts it is an awful waste of Licence payers money - regardless of which has-been is sent to the back and beyond.

Blimey. So he is. Wally Bygraves went to school with my mum.
I am not ashamed to say I am a eurovision fanatic. The UK has always been accused by the other countries of not taking the competition seriously. Last year we took it seriously & entered Blue with a good quality song. We came 10th & finished behind Jedwood. If we are entering Englebert I reckon it is the bbc taking the mickey out of the competition.

Which EH has not been doing.
He made a bigger name for himself in the US after having a couple of hits here, and became a Las Vegas stalwart like Tom Jones.
Which Butlins have you seen Engelbert playing then?
Incidentally, a website boasting the cheapest tickets for his East Coast tour of the US at the moment are at £80 each.
Pontins you say

Ah, understandable confusion - there was also another one:
Engelbert Humperdinck (1 September 1854 – 27 September 1921) was a German composer, best known for his opera, Hänsel und Gretel.
He must have been the one doing Butlins and Pontins.
So, who has actually heard the SONG, before slagging him off?
Are you suggesting Gerry Dorsey likes Horsey play?

Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan is a dustbin and no one smiles, I've never seen anyone smile there, had to go there in my work, although hotel very nice. There are pack dogs at airport and Jedward representing Ireland. And now UK have that slimy old git Humperdink. Classic!!!!!
When we were younger we used to buy some of the best dope money could buy along with a whole lot of nice nibbly things and settle down to watching the Eurovision night. It was great. I think this year I am going to re-form the group and get some gear in.
Engelbert Humperdink..................get in there.

Yup I reckon Miss Azerbaijan will be enticed by an "older man"..but around those parts it's not unknown for 90 year olds to get their legitimate oats late in life..
As it is in Hollywood too of course.

I did notice Brian Conley quoted Dick's name rather loudly in the "One Show" last week on being interviewed. Was he under pressure? His tone was "Basso Profundo" too...
