Eurovision 2013 - UK Entry Announced (merged threads)

[CheeseRolls]

I see no point In entering. Europe hate us. Haven't the BBC or whoever organize this got It through to their thick skulls.

Right that will be it then. Nothing to do with decades of shite unmemorable songs and performances so flacid they would put a Saturday night drunk to shame.

Well I sent them a comment too. Waiting on a response

Hello. it's not really so much of a complaint but why have we even entered the Eurovision this year. It's a fact Europe don't like us. This Is proof in the past few Eurovisions we have attended. I myself believe that no matter how good the song we put out there we would only get a bad response from the whole of Europe when It comes to this "Competition"

I think It would be high tide we hang up out boots and not enter. Atleast have whatever pride we have left.

That would be my stand on It anyways. There's no reason to enter. Surely the money could be spent elsewhere rather than making the UK look foolish.

Whoever picks the singer + song, when will they learn they need something modern + current, not some crap has been artist + crap song

Eurovision 2013 - UK Entry Announced

We could easily score a lot of points, instead we constantly enter absolute shit. Nobody good wants to do it.

Bonnie looks like she could be Tulisa's mum in that video!

Can we get relegated from Eurovision? I think it's about time we did! lol

18th May.

On a related, and slightly odd, note:

Copa del Rey final date to be moved due to Eurovision | Inside Spanish Football

The Copa del Rey final which is set to be played on May 18th could be moved to accommodate the Eurovision Song Contest that is due to be played on the same date.

The RFEF say that they are weighing up options for the cup final to be moved as they do not want to lose viewers due to the Eurovision song contest and that a move must first be approved by the RFEF and LFP committees.

“We are looking into the possibility of changing the date of the Final – kick-off time will remain the same but we need to look at a new date,” a RFEF spokesman said on Friday.

“We need to discuss this with the Professional Football League (LFP) because league matches take place on the Sunday (matches corresponding to Week 36 of the league campaign – apart from those which involve the finalists). Any new date must be ratified in the next board meeting.

“We are keen to ensure that the Final is played on a Saturday so that children are able to go to the stadium.

“It would be difficult to stage it on a Wednesday at a prime time slot as work and school commitments would mean that many families would not be able to attend. When we set the original date, we didn’t know Eurovision’s plans.”

That is a long time off. Disappointing.

Hilarious from the Spanish though! They seem to take it seriously, yet I can't remember ever seeing a Spanish entry...

Eurovision 2013 - UK Entry Announced

Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath has written this year's Armenian entry. The rest have no chance.

Really? I will have to watch just for that. I'll be expecting a killer riff.

Yep. Not a joke: BBC News - Sabbath star Tony Iommi pens Armenian Eurovision entry

 

[Djmiles]

I like it. Will do a lot better than most people think.

No, unfortunately we can't as we are considered one of the 'big 5' who doesn't have to qualify!!

Most people think we will get zero.

So as long as either the Irish or Belgians (the only nations that ever vote for us) give us a sympathy point, we will be doing better than expectations.

I believe not, as we are one of the countries that pays for it (unfortunately )

Only just got that. V. good!
The UK is the only country so far that has realised the whole eurovision is an elaborate joke(at least as far as I can tell, maybe some of those scandanavian entries are too subtle for me) . Others will catch up eventually.
Only one way to go in my opinion:

Hilarious choice and ludicrous reasons behind it... there was some " expert" stood in HMV saying " This is a good choice, Bonnie has a large following in Eastern Europe and is renowned for her power ballads etc etc. "

Pretty much the same was said about Englebert last year, when will we ever learn.

 

[Gullster]

She has had to withdraw, been found that she is 60% hoarse.

 

[Kumquat]

Jesus Bonnie Tyler? They can do better than that. She's *ahem* totally shit for the part...

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

If they allow Kazakhstan to enter Eurovision will Borat be singing their entry ?
