Best song for the UK in years (although thats not really saying much :p)

[GypsyGoth]

Is this real?

[MTVN]

That's pretty good actually, we should do quite well this year I think

[Smithy]

Is this real?

Yeah, why? :p

[GypsyGoth]

Yeah, why? :p

I just never thought Blue would get back together.

[GypsyGoth]

But yea the song is pretty good.

[Niall]

Thats quite a good song. :shocked:

[Mystic Mock]

your joking right? the little countries just vote for there neighbours and vice versa.

[MTVN]

your joking right? the little countries just vote for there neighbours and vice versa.

Obviously I'm not joking, it's not that hard to do well if you put the effort in, we came 5th two years ago

[Mystic Mock]

Obviously I'm not joking, it's not that hard to do well if you put the effort in, we came 5th two years ago

the reason we came 5th two years ago was because we threatened to pull out because we was unfairly finishing in the bottom 5 every year when sometimes we should have won it.

and considering we put the most money in the damn thing,they was scared **** of us pulling out.

???? The country that hosts it pays for it

[Maia]

I love it! We've got a good chance of winning with that.

[Mystic Mock]

well clearly not because they was scared of the uk pulling out two years ago.

[Locke.]

I just never thought Blue would get back together.

They've been back together for a couple of years.

And Blue are going to win this.

According to wiki: "Since 2000, the United Kingdom, Germany, France and Spain have automatically qualified for the Eurovision final, regardless of their positions on the scoreboard in previous Contests.[33] They earned this special status by being the four biggest financial contributors to the EBU (without which the production of the Eurovision Song Contest would not be possible)"

I guess that's what he's talking about

I always thought the hosting country had to pay for it, that was always a running joke here when we kept winning (see Fr,Ted episode:joker: ) .........though I don't claim to be a Eurovision expert:laugh:

I think they pay for the hosting costs with the venue and stuff but not any broadcasting costs or something :shrug: I really dont know tbh :laugh:

[Benjamin]

Oh god, this is awful and we'll still finish in the bottom 5 yet again.

Norway for the win! Haba Haba :love:

[joeysteele]

I like the Blue song, the UK has put some dire songs in to be honest in the past few years, I really like Jedwards also(in fact I prefer Jedwards to Blues) and hope they both do really well, Jedward if they get through the semi final stage will be zany enough but also good enough to appeal to the wider Euro audiences so it could be more interesting this year.

We are one of the majort contributors of funds to the contest though regardless of who wins it,they have to finance the current contest but year on year it needs funding to continue.

There is bias between the countries but even allies dont help us either usually, Israel for instance hardly gives the UK anything yet we speak up for them endlessly and for decades France was always a hard country for the UK to get points from.

Hopefully this year there will be more of the middle range 7 and 8 points given to the UK and also Ireland that will help considerably.
Its still a fun thing,I enjoy it.

[KG.]

No we came 5th because they introduced a new jury voting system as well so the votes aren't solely based on which country gives the most points to the other, it's 50/50 with that and the jury's votes. We did crap last year, because our song was crap.

I actually quite like this one and think we could place highly again.

[MTVN]

The only country that we can ever rely on for points these days is Malta :bored:

[Shaun]

I smell a floating turd.

[Smithy]

The only country that we can ever rely on for points these days is Malta :bored:

and Ireland!

[Niamh.]

The only country that we can ever rely on for points these days is Malta :bored:

we always give ye points

Edit : Snap Smithy

[MTVN]

Yeah Ireland do give us a few in fairness, not as many as we give you though :nono:

[Niamh.]

Blue are too good for this third rate irrelevant competition. Winning it doesn't even do much for your career(that German woman who won last year is even back again this year so she clearly needs more publicity).

I like this but who the hell knows how it will do the voting is so unpredictable. Its not like the best songs always do well.

Blue reformed in 2009 just to do a tour...then split up again. Theyve got back together just for this euro gig as far as Im aware. Probably split again afterwards.

[Shaun]

"Blue are too good"


well that's another phrase I can add to my "this shall never be said again" folder.

[Smithy]

-wonders what else is in the folder-

[Shaun]

"The best thing about Jedward is", "The Cheetah Girls are underrated" and "Omah is so diverse!" are but three.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Its predictable.

That melody at the intro and through out the song is used in every fcuking pop song.

Think Alexandra burke "the silence" and iyaz "replay"

[Zippy]

"Blue are too good"


well that's another phrase I can add to my "this shall never be said again" folder.

and you probably do actually have a folder. For everything.

[Shaun]

:crazy:

He has a point though tbf, Blue have had 3 albums & 3 singles that reached number 1 as well as 8 other top ten hits. No recent British entry has had anywhere near as much success as that

Oh, so success defines goodness now? :bored:

The song is just a parody of everything around at the moment. It sounds like a Taio Cruz b-side.

This this this this this.

They've been irrelevant for longer than they were relevant to pop music, the song's terrible IMO.
