Well I couldn't believe it when I heard that the BBC had unilaterally chosen
EH shock

What makes you think it's about the song, jingl?

wotsamashedupjingl Mon 26-Mar-12 17:17:21

I think the song needs to be heard several times to 'catch on'.

And that can't happen on the night.

I do NOT think the Russian Grannies will win!!!! grin

I do hope they don't attempt to glamorize them for the big night!

I think the Russians will win too, I won't be watching it but a good cause is worth voting for.

Have you seen the Russian Grannies? They are the Russian entry and are trying to raise money to rebuild their local church. Somehow I think they will be the winners!

He gives me the creeps. He used to work for my father and would sing all day rather than work! Apparently the bookies have made him 3rd favourite to win!! confused

As most other countries dislike us ,they won't vote for us so we are never going to win.
It is unfair to blame the singer or the song even the very best song and artist will not get votes from most of Europe sad

Engelbert Humperdinck
As a senior citizen I really do want older people to get opporotunities, but he does seem to be of a diaster waiting to happen. surely he has had his glory. We have so much musical talent in this country, I think it is only right that we should give one of them the chance to present us. Or am I not hearing/seeing things to clearly is it all going in one ear\eye and out the other
Never mind he might wear the Union Jack.
