[icy17]

in 2002 UK was third in draw with the host country Estonia

[euRUSSIAns]

The first statement was Russia in 1994!

UK lost in Eurovision 1982!

Sorry, the last victory was the UK in 1998 (Katrina and The Waves) (ESC history).

12 years before Russia (USSR), what are you talking about politics?

[euRUSSIAns]

elton john ... the beatles ... leona lewis ... queen ... etc ... - This is great!, But with the 1998 UK can not win the Eurovision!

Today was Elton John - and all this?

You lose for 10 years !!!!!!!!!!!

You can not sentence Europe for 10 years!

Russia and the policy is not to blame - UK can not offer interesting music and songs for the whole of Europe!

[euRUSSIAns]

Webber chose Charlotte - what do you wear?

It can be like in Europe? You are serious?

UK saw a small stone in foreign eyes, but in his eye does not see a big piece of the mountain!

[Misslucy000]

JADE 2 WIN!!!!

[zingostar]

Jade to eurovision

[euRUSSIAns]

1982 was the last year for the UK!

[euRUSSIAns]

UK will never win Eurovision, Webber - songs that you chose will never be the First! Your songs are interesting only UK because you Sponsors ESC. If Russia is a sponsor - Eastern Europe will always be a winner, Western - NEVER!

1991 was the last year for the UK!

UK has long been a loser and the last in the voting lists, and you all understand and live with this idea long ago!

[norway4eva]

Your a lovely person clearly.

[SteAndKel]

UK cant win eurovision because of politics... but in the normal music industry... the UK is one of the most successful in the world.

elton john... the beatles... leona lewis... queen... etc...

[Mattymate08]

it actually sounds like someone is being STABBED in the audience after Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber reveals the results, it terrified me when i first hear it!!

[heartxcage]

I am so sad that Damien didn't get through. Personally, I thought he was one of the most talented singers. He did have a few things to improve on like "stage personality" and movement/energy but he was good at singing. Charlotte does have the image, but that's it. I really don't think she can sing and I think that Lord Webber made the wrong choice because I can't see her moving on. At least he doesn't scream when he sings like Charlotte. Anyways GO BRITIAN! Good luck. x

[coojio]

And your opinion matters over Andrews....NO ...;)

[heartxcage]

Well it doesn't matter now does it? She's out. She should try again next year and get better!

[Anjiska]

I don't know why they didn't choose that blond girl who was singing Fields of gold. Was her name Ketty? She had adorable color of the voice and that sweet shy pose :) And was somehow different.Just cute in every way ^_^ Anyway,this is just opinion of someone from Balcan block ;)

[jdaler]

Shame Declan Galbraith didn't enter, he already has a large fan base throughout Europe. He would have a real chance of winning. John

[tvtimes]

UK will finish near the bottom again so whats the point, only way we might get maybe a top 10 finish if we send recognised singers and no more reality tv singers. when will the BBC wake up ?

[Nieluch]

does everyone hear squicking pig in a back?

[zingostar]

Jade can save the UK from embarrasment..

[coojio]

Aww mr Clunk chill out, go n have a game of GOLF....pmsl ;)

[Clunkfizzer]

Ark at her checking my profile!!!! You after a date or what...think on!!!

[workingclassbum]

Does anyone care? Eurovision only exist so we can laugh at foreigner without feeling rascist.

If we want to win we need to get the must unbeleivble shite metal band whose lead singer dresses as a 68 year old woman and plays a kids toy guitar.

[245thegreat]

haha and your not even fucking english you dirty immagrant, get the fuck out and learn english before getting illegally shipped.

[workingclassbum]

Except that I was born in England to English parents and lived here my entire life. Fucking twat get a life.

[coojio]

Its soo funny when u look at the peoples profiles who comment, says it all really, neither should of been bottom 2, Both good, but as Andrew said she is extroadinarily GOOD !!

[Clunkfizzer]

And you may want to try and spell properly before you pass comment...as you are 'extraordinarily' bad at spelling!

[thesparklyfairy]

Rubbish.

That girl can't sing. Is he deaf?

The whole thing is a joke, i hope we come bottom again.

[sasbabeuk]

We won't win even if we do have a good performer. We all know that countries vote for they're friends and neighbours so we ain't got a chance.

[Mephiles602]

I bet other countries are going to complain because Lord Andrew has been bribing country ambassadors. :P

[67hob]

somehow I doubt that

[Gr33nMamba]

This whole contest is a joke right?  Who are these people?

If were taking eurovision seriously we would send in a established proven artist. But we dont. No one cares.

[Misslucy000]

JADE 2 WIN!!!!

[TicTac2]

EUROVISION IS NOW 50% JURY

no one seems to realise that, ALW timed it well because that will help us if everyone's continued complaints about Eastern bloc voting are actually true.

[elliecoffey]

I didn't think Jade was even that good. She blatantly couldn't even hold her notes and seemed breathless at some points. I'm glad charlotte is through though.

[KillParadise89]

i love the lord, he rules

[rhys21kipling]

another way for TV to get more money out of the English public, this is a joke.

[helenloc]

Damien had the best voice in the show. Have to accept that he didn't get the votes but for ALW to save Charlotte who was clearly out of her depth is a disgrace.

[mellowNdark]

Is someone being brutally murdered in the audience at the end??

[wingebag]

Whatever. It's pointless for us to enter anyways. The only way that we are gonna get anywhere near the top is when all the western countries stop circlejerking and actually judge on the songs

[sweetiecandykim]

what was the song that the girls sung?

[sugarplum33]

Damien was loads better than Charlotte

[zingostar]

hey guys the competition is already over...

Jade Ewen is the best choice for the UK.. she is 100% ready for eurovision and look the part!!!..

Jade Ewen to eurovision!

[KillParadise89]

dude i agree with you. Have we always chosen people for euro vision via television heats

[crazzer123]

No way

[Clunkfizzer]

What a disgrace!! The old man ALW has really lost a grip... Damien should have been top 3 no doubt, may not have won it....but come on! The british public are clueless not voting for him above the band of freak looking guy's the ginger one and the 2 dizzy blondes!

[lisapy1132]

my god who was the squealer in the audience?

[CyclopsIsMyHero]

Bollocks. ALW makes me cringe.

[ibz2ibzcp]

Empores of soul sould heave went FFS

[ishiticecubes]

i totally agree, if we end Emporers of Soul people are gonna be like "Andy Abraham #2 much?" and we're gonna end up last becuase soul doesn't go down well in ESC

Jade has the best star quality IMO she has to go to Moscow.

[Bille994]

OMG Charlotte or Emperors of soul should have gone! Damien was one of the best singers T.T

[soundofwaves]

Damien should of definitely gone through -no question about it!

[mrcrackerfeld]

webber should get be allowed to be in charge of a nuke missile and say"give uk a point or we'll aim it at your country"

[Reklawniks]

Charlotte was really weak. Damien is much better, although he probably couldn't win Eurovision. Jade and Emperors of Soul seem like the only ones that could win both the UK vote and Eurovision itself.

[joyzaphinemusic]

i agree, Damien was a much better singer... but I can see why it was them in the bottom two

[matty1072]

Yeah, I agree he couldn't win eurovision, he isn't eastern european!

[NonMatchingUnderwear]

1. Webber is pretending he will write the song, when he is paying an American woman to do it for him!

2. Jade is blatantly a plant, she was pulled in as a 'last resort' at the end of final audition round and suddly became the big star!

3. Why the hell did Webber let Maria through, who can barely sing in time, against the amazingly powerful singer Damian? He must fancy her or something.

4. And they wonder why we don't take this seriously when this is the top talent in Britain?

[matty1072]

We don't take it seriously because it is not a serious competition it is completely rigged. Roll on a Baltic victory!

[stoatythesecond]

I don't really think it matters 2 hoots who wins this, or who wrote the music, the Eurovision has never been based on talent and it would be no surprise if we still appeared in the bottom 5 which would make ALW look like a bit of a tosser really. Andrew Lloyd Webber may have talent coming out of his ears, but you've got to admit as well, he's a wierd loooking bugger.

[xxmaterialxgirlxx]

only ireland give us points lol..oh well.

[dop37]

What a joke. Damien is heads better than her. She just resembles Webber's ex Sarah Brightman.

[LegoTwistedfairytale]

terry wogan was really really good at the eurovision, shame he left but i understand why,

[Lamondism]

"your country needs you" what a lot of crap

[robaitchyn]

MARK TO WIN

[rctycoplay]

damien couldve won eurovision another bad choice for the uk great just fucking great were never goin to win

[ellieroxyoursocksoff]

terrible choice damiens sooo much better than charlotte!!

[GoInAllWays]

Q: Why save Charlotte?

[zingostar]

jades songs with trinity stone are great... found them on youtube:)..

jade to eurovision!!! vote vote vote

[Dansnobody101]

eurovision around now is crap, i don't see the point in watching something we are going to fail at.

[boomchilds]

A cave troll is writing a song for Europe.

Great!

[zingostar]

jade Ewen is a star and she will win!!.. its already over guys..

[InTheLittleWoods]

Terrible choice, really was...

I'm just waiting for UK to loose at Eurovision then see his face, he'll be gutted LOL!

It's all down to politics which sucks really :(

[jsam93]

Why does everybody always say "its all political" right on cue? Last weeks episode hit the nail right on the head- we treat something that is taken deadly seriously everywhere else like a complete joke! Our acting like big sore losers makes me ashamed to be british

[InTheLittleWoods]

Well when it gets to the point (last year being the point) where Wogan says the results of almost every countries 12 points before it's announced. There's something at a whack there? lol

I'm not particularly bothered if we win, i just enjoy the really random and quirky music that comes through it :)

[jsam93]

The reason that terry wogan knew which country would give their points to is because in over 35 years of commentating on the esc, hes been to pretty much every country in europe and knows what the general concensus of each country likes musically

[stoatythesecond]

Lol, and you think it isn't political? Hahahaha, haven't you listened to Terry Wogan over the last few years? Ireland always voting for England and vice versa, Germany & the Netherlands have both given at least 10 points to Turkey in all 6 Eurovisions from 2003 to 2008. There's loads more but i'd run out of space. Do you really believe that Germany think Turkey's song is that brilliant every year? Lol, pull the other one! The reason the Brits dont take it seriously is because its nonsense!

[jsam93]

How on Earth is germany voting for turkey political? The last time germany and turkey were political allies was 1914!

[ufuk99]

there are millions of turks living in germany. they vote for turkey.

[jsam93]

There may be millions of turks living in germany but they are vastly outnumbered by the native germans who vote for the songs that they like

[NonMatchingUnderwear]

Yeah, becuase the voting for Russia last year had nothing to do with the fact they are the sole oil supplier to ALL the countries that gave them full marks...

I bet they'll win again this year, if everyone in Belarus hasn't frozen to death already.

[jsam93]

No, Russia won last year because it sent Dima Bilan, the Russian Robbie Williams whos an absolute superstar in the Soviet and balkan nations, to sing a song written by Daine Warren (whos writing our entry this year), who wrote "If I Could Turn Back Time", "Unbreak My Heart", "Because You Loved Me", "Have You Ever?", "How Do I Live?", "Nothing's gonna Stop Us Now", "I Dont Wanna Miss a Thing", "There Ill Be" and "When I See You Smile" among others, and produced by Timbaland

[shonjoST]

oh excuse me... but "Diva Bilan" is not a superstar in Balkan... if it wasn't for "eurovision karaoke contest", we wouldn't known for him... but he's nobody and nothing here on balkan... i'm from croatia btw... you can't hear his song anywhere in croatia... and that's for the sake of entire nation of croatia if you ask me... :-P :-D

[jsam93]

Dima Bilan is that unknown in croatia that croatia still gave it points

[OMGyoumakemewannaLOL]

eurovision is so lame
