I think we should enter a serious act next time. You know, a well known band from the UK. Of course, very few people would stick their neck out for that, but I think it would be an interesting experiment to see how we fared if we put forward someone well known.

Hmm, that probably still wouldn't work.

Like when Javine went. She was quite well known and she didn't do very well. Then again, the song wasn't great, IMHO.

I think if the song is great and the act delivers it well... political voting or not it would do well. Scooch was just awful. As were Dervish (the Irish entry). They weren't the worst.. but neither deserved to do well.

Everyone keeps saying Scooch is very Eurovisionesque... but the song that won was totally different to Scooch. Just because you're camp and cheesy doesn't mean youa re going to do well.

The likes of Jessica Garlick were classic... and deserved to do well. She had a great song and she delivered it well. Why can't the UK choose something like that, instead of the stereotypical 'Eurovision song'? Cyndi would have been a much better bet than Scooch, IMO. Especially if you look at recent winners... very similar to what she did.
