Woe Is Us!!!

I'm sitting here smiling to myself at the thought of the scoring at the Eurovision Contest tomorrow night.

Isn't it marvellous how many people are stating that we will get "NUL" points because of Brexit.

We seem to find an excuse every year for the banal, crappy entry from Britain receiving such low scores.
Why can't people accept that the scores are low because our entry song is usually and simply because it is so dire.

I think this year's entry is once agan rubbish! what do you think?

SG, I think l watched the programme when they chose this year's entry.
The song must've been rubbish as l can't remember the song or the artist!!
The song, obviously wasn't catchy enough?!!
Good Luck, anyway UK. I think you'll need it!!

Have not watched it in it's entirety since ABBA won in 1974.
The best interval performance has to be Riverdance, truly unforgettable.

This is the first time I've heard our entry and I can't see it doing very well at all ..... it's too repetitive and 'samey'.

Boredom in the extreme is the Eurovision Song Contest, we certainly won't be watching it, besides which it is to do with politics not the quality of the songs.

Re: Woe Is Us!!!

No i wouldn't say that Brexit had anything to do with losing, i think it's because the singers we put in for it are unknown so they don't get a chance. If i ever watch it, it's always half an hour to the end to check where we stand.,
