Terry was able to call where at least half the 12 points were going each year. Now the jury has been brought back it isn't quite as bad but it has been years since the best song has won.

@madabbafan I've thought for some time now that rather than the voting being anti-uk, it was more of an anti-wogan campaign. I mean let's face it, Wogan used the opportunity to take the piss out of the proceedings and the presenters of the show. You remember his comments about a couple of the presenters (Danish I think they were) about 10 years ago now. He called them 'Dr. Death and the tooth fairy'. I remember it very well. I must admit it was bloody hilarious, but didn't go down too well!

Of course there is a strong political element in the ESC but various studies have come up with some interesting facts.Firstly,to win you have to get points from practically everyone,not only from your neighbours.And secondly,there have been 14 different winning countries in the last 14 years.Wogan seems to forget that the uk 'buy' their ticket to the final and this doesn't go down well with most of the other countries.

Remember his comments regarding the Danish (I think it was) presenters a few years ago, calling them 'Dr. Death and the Tooth Fairy', which I thought was extremely funny! I heard after that comment that the Danes refused him entry into their country (whether that's true ot not, I'm not sure). It may not be a coincidence that as soon as Wogan left, then voting for the UK improved enormously!

"The british industry is brillant" Not in my book, and even less at ESC , they send kitch every year (mainly because their musical industry is also kitch, based on American music mainly), so they should not complain. that's a dislike from me.

@crazyboyxx Agreed, the British music industry is brilliant, though I think Finland and the U.S have damn good music industries too, Finland is the fastest growing at the moment. The U.K music industry shall decline I think in the next four years as the government invest less into it, which is a shame as U.K is one of the greatest countries for exporting its art in whatever form it is.

@BigEricHunt David Icke would probably have come across as sounding a lot more down to earth if he had not gone on a rant about "the Royal family and other world leaders being shape shifting reptilian aliens" I saw that interview and at first I found it interresting and thought yeah this guy has an interresting theory, but when he started spewing that side of it, it kind of just made himself sound like a paranoid nut case...

Andy's song was shit though.

[BigEricHunt]

Wogan. Now you've established that an international conspiracy can dictate the result of a pathetic "light entertainment" song contest, perhaps you can open your eyes to the really important decisions around the world and see that David Icke's illuminati claims weren't so "preposterous" and "outlandish" after all....?
