In the United Kingdom this contest has always been seen as a big joke and that is especially the last 10 years when the results hasn’t been that great for this big music nation.
The UK pre-selection is an even bigger joke than the Eurovision itself, it’s a mix of totally unknow artists and crap songs most of the times. Last year UK came on 16th place. How is it possible that a great music nation like United Kingdom can’t come up with a deasant song? Perhaps one of the reason is that no normal artist would like to be ridiculed infront of millions of tv-viewers during the national selection.
This year the UK entry is called Flying the flag for you performed by Scootch. First time I saw this performance and heard the song was in 1981 when Bucks Fizz won with Making your mind up, please please the contest has actually moved on even though people of the United Kingdom don’t get that. This is rubbish and another 16th place is in reach.
My grade: 1
