In response to the MTV presenter ("why doesn't Britain send any of their big international acts to Eurovision?") Do you think any of our international acts would even dream of going near Eurovision?? If you asked Amy Winehouse, Adele, Coldplay, Radiohead, Lilly Allen, etc... to enter the contest they'd just laugh in your face.
With regard to the alleged subterfuge within the ESC voting system, anyone interested in a full and frank analysis, please put "Why the Eurovision bloc voting theory is bogus" into a Google search, and all will be explained.
Terry Wogan is a Pied Piper who plays a nice tune - but it isn't one any of us with a mind going on would be well advised to follow.
And when you've done that ... put "Wogan is the only celeb paid for Children In Need" into a Google search - and decide for yourself if Terry Wogan is an honorable man, with an opinion worth listening to.
Why don't you fuck off and take your ignorant BNP crap elsewhere, and I can assure you having been around most of Europe DOES NOT treat this contest as serious as people like you love to think and what the hell gives you the right to think British is always best, nob'ed?
Whats so funny is that the whole of europe really take this event seriously. It shows just how sad they are. We send our worst and most laughable musicians there on purpose. I think its time to send them Cliff Fucking Richard. That twat will go down well with the tasteless Europeans. When i was in Russia they just couldn't understand why i thought the event to be the biggest pile of shit in history. To them it was like the Olympics or something bigger. They need to see it for the joke it is
No, he resigns because there is no such things as a fair vote anymore. Scandanavia votes amongst itself, Germany and Turkey exchange niceties every year, the Eastern Block keep it in the family, the former USSR the same.
The Eurovision has always been a joke, but when you can predict the result before hand (as we all did in 2008) it seems a bit pointless having the thing at all!
all i can say is, is that at least the EBU have listened and have brought back the juries system. And that we (UK) have a good song writer for next year in Andrew Lloyd Webber.
That's your only retort "virgin"? you're the cowardly twat, posting unfunny one-liners of insults such as "faggot" on others videos. And it couldn't be more ironic you calling someone names like that considering you're from Hartlepool and who your poofy former MP was.
The UK have a problem in that almost all the other songs have been heard twice by Saturday night so have more resonance in the ears of the audience. The other acts (except Spain, France, Germany and the hosts) also have rehearsed / performed their song on that stage 10 times by the Saturday night compared the UK's 6. When the UK is also automatically in the final every year, why should other countries vote for them. The system is unfair and biased towards the UK, France, Germany and Spain.
Having said that, neighbours do vote for each other. Not just in the East, but in the West as well. The problem for the West, is that people in the West are voting for the East as well so the East is always statistically more likely to do better as a result.
Do you seriously think if Believe was sung by Andy Abraham that the UK would have won? No of course not... However do you also think that had Dima Bilan sung Even If he would have won? Probably not either, yet he'd have come much higher than last!
then, why didnt spain, france, portugal, iceland, netherlands, belgium, switzerland vote for UK if they are from western europe?
reason is simple: they didnt like UK's song this year.
so, dont be pathetic and send some good song. your last good song was from 2002. I liked song from 2005 but Javine was bad on stage. She didnt perform well, so that's reason of her bad placing.
This is unbelieveable! Why is there even a dispute over this? It is obvious that most of the countries near eachother vote for each other! This is no longer a song contest! It is a political joke! Even if the UK entered our best artists we wouldn't win beause nobody votes for us anyway!
Terry Wogan is 100% RIGHT! Good for him! I think the BBC should pull out on airing it as well!
and people dont wote for naibours ONELY those who thwy like and i woudnt be suprised that UK starts talking something like that cause they always stay on the top3 bad songs
OMG; did u think u could have won with this song and always UK makes fun of other songs exept theyr song , if would send some songs like cyndis last years than u would get to top 20, because europe didnt like your song u dont have to start crying and drop out of the contest
It doesn't have a heart in the British public! We just watch it to see if we can beat France or Germany, thats the only chance we are ever going to get. Its just a laugh listening to crap songs.
Do you think England would get any favours off the likes of Scotland then? i think France would probably be guaranteed 12 points every year if the UK split up. Serbia had a civil war recently with countries that are voting for it Scotland still got a problem with English for a battle fought 700 years ago ffs!
you are an idiot... you break up yugoslavia and complain that there are too many countries now... we wanted to be united but the world didnt so in a sense IF what u say is true (which is not) u are suffering for it. Serbian culture is good with music.. that is why they get far every eurovision.
Majority decide. It was Western Europe that split these countries and made so many small ones, to control them. Yugoslavia alone has 6 countries. Old Soviet U. god knows how many. How about you let go of Scotland, Wales, N. Ireland and let them all vote for you. Serbia the most hated country in the Balkans, gets top votes from the countries they invaded on CNN and BBC.
Well Ireland won all seven times by a jury system not a biased televote system as it is now and most of the Eastern European countries have only entered in recent years Russia's debut 1994 i doubt any of those Irish wins in the 90's would have won with the present voting system.
Of course, now they are all upset cuz Russia won. God forbid that Russia should be best at anything. But it's Russia first time to win isn it? When Ireland was wining (7 times bdw) there was no complaining. Hypocrisy and prejudices towards everything Eastern as always....
Yes there are neighbor countries voting. But what do you expect britian to what your bring out are all these crap singers who sing stupidest song's. Ever if you want to win get someone like Robbie Williams to sing.
I don't remember the Brits or Europeans being so dark. I guess neither term means white anymore.
This is 2 tonics neither are white but your supposed to act like they are because of the label. Why not tell it like it is instead of the fakey labels.
Yes, it definitely could be so. Do you know british history? They invaded India, China, Afghanistan, and many other countries, killed and robbed, and suddenly pretend to be aristocratic and clean. We call it hypocrisy and many other bad epithets.
Several differen't rules. Also the country was taken over long ago when the Bank of England was created by non-Brits. "they" you don't even know who they is but as far as Anglo it's not much of an Anglo country anymore. But you probably like the rag heads that control it and also control Europe now don't you?
