Blue to represent the UK in Eurovision
 

*sigh*

Great news

I think I want to nick Jedward :joker:

Blues not as funny :(

This could be quite good, were Blue ever popular in wider Europe??

omg!! i love blue!! -used to listen to their albums on repeat when i was younger-

No idea :/ I was never a fan. Had the odd bop along to 'All Rise' but that was about it.....

I know they were pretty big in holland ...so this will be interesting
tho it all depends on their song I guess, if it's good they might even win it :eek:

We are actually going to win, All we need is Elton John now

I imagine their song will be Take That-ish.

This is getting worse and worse AKA better and better.

oh dear

Blue are epic.

All Rise >>>>>> One Love >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Any Other Country's Bollocks.

Why don't we just pull out now and save ourselves the embarrassment. :bored:

At least it's kind of a half-credible entry, they could do well

We might have Jedward,I'd love to have fecking Blue.

There are plenty of other british artists 10 times better than them. :bored:

Florence + The Machine are just one of many examples.

If they wanted to have a successful comeback, they've made a mistake doing this.

Course there are but they're not willing to do it, Eurovision has become such a joke now that we just send in a gimmicky act every year - Daz Sampson, Scooch, Andy Abraham etc. We tried for one year and did pretty well with Jade Ewan but then I guess we couldnt be bothered next year and just put in another nobody who did crap, at least Blue have actually had a fair bit of success

I disagree; Jade Ewen was looking set to do alright and then joined the Sugababes which was a pretty smart career move; you have to bear in mind that while no other recent UK Eurovision entry has done well off the back of it - none of them did that well taking part in it, and were meant to be gimmick acts in the first place. Blue should do well if they have a good enough song, I browsed Wikipedia and they did have some success across Europe so people will remember them and might be more inclined to vote for them. I'm quite excited now!

We did well with Jade because she put the effort in to go travel round Europe to promote herself a bit, to the extent that she was more well known around Europe than she was in the UK prior to Eurovision, which is exactly what you need in a Eurovision entry because we can't vote for our own act. If Blue remind people in Europe they're still out there and have an alright song, they'll do well for sure.

Oh I didnt realise she'd done that, it was amazing how we went from being right down at the bottom for years up to fifth, I've heard Blue have been or are going to do a fair bit of promotion around Europe so they could easily do quite well

Not a big fan of Blue but if they can give us at least a chance of winning Eurovision then I am all for them :)

Yep.. Jade Ewen came 5th in Eurovision I think it was a few years ago.

Blue could possibly get into the top 5 too! Good luck to them. I hope the song's good!

I hope Jedward represent Ireland too. Would be epic. I also agree that they have to promote themselves all around Europe before May 14th.

I shouldn't have said successful.. more, being taking seriously.
