    Why can't we just enter a pop song? It's basically what Denmark did and they won easily.

    For such a musically rich nation, we do send a load of dross to Eurovision. Not one song in the past 5-6 years i've enjoyed.

    I wonder if one direction entered where we would end up?

    True. The last 2 years the winners have been up to date electro pop, the sort of stuff Xenomania could knock out in their sleep... Find some easy on the eye female, aged under 30 and hey presto.

    Surely we would increase our chances of not winning Eurovision if we had to qualify through the semi final stages like the majority of other European nations? Why on earth do we bother paying to automatically qualify for the final?

    Read somewhere someone calling for Simon Cowell to get involved and run a Britains Got Talent style show. Obviously the winner goes to Eurovision instead of the Royal Variety show. I definitely think that could work.

    We don't. We are one of the five major contributors to Eurovision, which is involved in broadcasting mainly sporting events, although the only thing other than the song contest you might know about is the new year concert from Vienna. As one of the main contributors over all, a spin off of that is that we automatically qualify for the final. Whether that's a good thing or not is another matter... :-)

    Is it too late to say I liked Malta's song? political ding dong with Russia is hilarious. Imagine Cameron getting the hump with someone because they didn't vote for us (mind you, that would be the whole of Europe!)

    Quality song McBobbin...comedy songs are not easy to write although some think all my songs are a joke :-)

    We all know it is a joke of a contest, but to be so convinced that a neighbour should vote for you just because they are a neighbour, shows that corruption is so much a part of their everyday lives they actually publicly get the hump when it does not work. I am aware that the circumstances involve a cock up between votes cast and what the jury awarded, but it's still farcical.
