Does Britain coming last in the Eurovision Song Contest mean that we are the unliked

[quackhandle]

The rest of Europe love to have their little dig at us for whatever reason (Iraq/being US's love puppy) however being last is woeful - you'd have thought we could gained more points than Iceland.

Anything other than last would be a disgrace.

The whole thing's a big lump of tulipe for tulipe musicians singing tulipe songs written by tulip composers.

The only country in Europe that means anything in terms of popular music is Britain, so there's no point in taking it seriously.

That's maybe the case, but Muse, Radiohead and Arctic Monkeys seem to be played to death on Dutch radio.

When was the last time a credible UK act (e.g one you might still hear on the radio) did Eurovision?

[NotAllThere]

Who could forget THIS classic?

I'm trying, believe me.

Yes, coming last does mean we are actually disliked even more than the Israelis.

What shocked me was that Malta didn't vote for us. Ever since the Siege of Malta they have consistently given us dix points.

All that has gone now.

The UK entry was absolutely dreadful, fully deserved to come last. It's all about entertainment, and I'm sorry I'd rather watch paint dry that Josh sing. As the German producer said after his protege won it's not the song, it's the singer, she would have won with any song. Josh could have sung the best song ever written and still come last.

don't tarnish Scotland's name, they love us over there and people north of the border care very much about the relationship with the rest of europe....

That sums it up really. If Scotland could enter Eurovision independently, then "Bagpipes on the Bonnie Shores" would be a sure-fire winner. Go for it!

We need a transexual yodelling nun next year. We might not win but we won't come last, even if there are no words to the song. It's nothing to do with the music and everything about campness and gimmicks. Countries that enter pretty teenage girls come mid-way. Countries that enter boys come last (in a totally nonsexual way, of course).

Maybe they remembered that we didn't help out at this Siege of Malta

Never. Credible acts don't do Eurovision, because they want to keep their credibility. That's what makes it the tulipfest it is.
