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

[sasguru]

WGAS about Eurovision and the Europeans anyway?
Bunch of ungrateful twunts IMHO.

Suppose one advantage of not winning is that we never need to host the thing!

[fullyautomatix]

Why is the UK even taking part if they come last every time ?

Maybe it's because the mugs keep voting and spending the dosh.

We came last because our song was crap, written by two has been song writers who lifted it from the bin marked "Jason Donovan Rejects (1988)" and it was performed by a boyband reject with no identifiable stage presence.

Germany won becuase their song was written by a contempory writer, who is writing songs for current major artists, which was a number one in three countries and has had extensive airplay in most of the others. It was performed by a good looking 19 year old girl who could actually sing and had a back story to generate sympathy. ( She won a public competition to find Germany's singer for the competition ). Although admittedly she did come accross as a complete airhead afterwards but that may just have been the language issues.

Judging from the Boo'ing in the arena during the scoring it was the Russians who were the really unpopular ones there.

The song was written by a Dane, so the Danes won really.

Nearly correct:

American songwriter Julie Frost and Danish songwriter John Gordon. Some sources credit the lyrics of the song to Julie Frost alone but the official statement says that both worked on the music and the lyrics.

The German song was brutal, you could torture someone with that.

The Greece song was beyond brutal, I think it was top 10.

Bring back Jeux Sans Frontieres - we used to win that a lot.

Classic!

You're doing an excellent impersonation of someone who cares.

Why were they boo'ing the Russians? What have the Russians ever done to Norway?
