To be honest I think at this point even if we sent Adele to eirovision we would still end up near the bottom it's all about politics. The entry for us isn't terrible we have had worse but it's definitely not gonna score many points

I think we’re ok now. Sam Ryder proved that when we sent an actual good song. I don’t think politics plays too much into our position now, we just send awful choices that even the UK themselves hate, but we oddly expect Europe to love.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the one year we do well in over a decade is the year the uk is the leading public defender of Ukraine after they were invaded, even less of a coincidence that we were only beaten by Ukraine after they were invaded, it was most definitely politically motivated that year, more obviously than ever

I don’t think most of Europe would have cared or not about us regarding that, apart from Ukraine possibly. It was actually a good song and great staging. Proven by the year after when we hosted for them we did terribly.

It was a good song, but it wouldn’t have done nearly as well if it was sent that year in particular

I agree with this

…there are political aspects obviously also, that’s so true…but it doesn’t dismiss that compared to other entries, ours on the whole are fairly dismal and until we actually produce and enter a real contender/standout…?…we won’t know how highly the political aspect figures and factors into it because atm, we can rarely say…well ours was excellent, what the heck…!!!!!…you know…?…Sam Ryder did move up on the excellent scale and it was a good year for us….so I think that we have to stop looking at political and start looking at our song quality…

Eurovision.

[Time to Sleigh]

I didnt mind features as such anyway as long as it was featuring another big famous singer. A lot of songs that say ft are a duet anyway it was when the featured artist wasn't famous that was the issue

[Ammi]

…that wasn’t a gripe btw, I’m just pondering over the tricky bits of each round/theme…

[JingleJones]

When’s the next live show? Monday?

Yes Jones unless maybe Jake gets all the songs in earlier and brings it forward. Which would be great.

I don't think so we all have to rank the entries before someone gets kicked out

…I’m such an amateur at this game……but we can do the ranking first and then throw me out, I’m cool with that…

[Time to Sleigh]

And now that's just taken me right down a rabbit hole and km watching all the greasemania performances....then there was abbamania....and there was soapstar Superstar...lets dance for comic relief...Motown Mania
And Celebrity Stars in their eyes.....

We need a week like that....what can we class it as it would be so much fun!

[Time to Sleigh]

And the albums always seemed to sell so well too didn't they...I always remember them being in the Brittania magazine/catalogue. Gosh that's a throwback I doubt many remember!

[Time to Sleigh]

Where else could you watch chas dingle doing don't cha...what's that outfit, the chunky necklace and layered look is giving off the best of early 2000s vibes

[Time to Sleigh]

OK that's it the week after eurovision for week 4 the theme is Celebrity "Talent" Shows.

[Yuki Maru Hoshi]
