Revealed with hardly a blaze of glory on red button and i-Player: this is it! So is it going to carry all before it or sink without trace?

As this article points out, it's not really anything to do with being in Europe.

Oh dear, it's awful Still, it's better to do badly with a bad song than do badly with a good song [which is what happened last year sad].

I really love the song and it's not often I say that about our Eurovision entry! Agree with Annodomini though. The right staging will be vital

It's certainly got us talking and divided opinion nicely!

If this song wins Eurovision I shall eat my one and only hat!
But, nice song, catchy. Who knows? Anything can happen on Eurovision.

It's a very forgettable song but a well produced video with a jolly dance routine (though I hate the chap's fake American accent). Even though mediocrity characterises Eurovision, I'd be surprised if this got very far.

I always used to watch Eurovision - it was just a bit of light hearted fun. It has become ridiculous now that you can almost predict who will be giving their top marks to whom.

It has always been the case that most of the songs were dreadful but there used to be one or two that were quite good. I lost heart with it when Andy Abraham represented us. I thought his song was OK - a lot better than some - and he sang it really well. I felt so sorry for him when he came joint last, with, I think, about 6 points. I don't usually bother now.

Love this years UK entry by Electro Velvet, "Still In Love With You". IMO best song we have had for years.
