Yet Another Embarrassing?"Nul Points"? For The UK?

[EmmaMary]

Why oh why do we ever bother to enter the Eurovision Song Contest when it's always a complete and utter embarrassment coming last with "nul points".
Perhaps we should just throw the towel in, give it a miss, and finally admit that we haven't any decent songwriters/performers left here in the UK.

We should pull out, we have never really played the politics game that the other countries play.

you can nearly always say who will get max points from certain countries, even a few years in advance.

We should simply pull out and drop the money going in to televise it.

that would hurt.

[wankiam]

i agree, especially since we aren't european anymore

[EmmaMary]

We were entering long before Heath condemned us to the EU (Common market).

[wankiam]

yes i know... it was a brexit joke. anyway apart from the fact Europe hate us its also the case you dont stand out by trying to copy their crap... whether you like drill/grime or not, we produce the best rap in the world right now but instead of showcasing that we send yet another generic pop song to the popularity contest. its those that stand out that tend to win... rmember that heavy metal band or the bloke in a dress?

[EmmaMary]

@wankiam I simply couldn't agree more with you.

[Jessica405]

Many of the entrants are not European! 🤣🤣🤣

[wankiam]

@Jessica405 yeah like russia and isreal, i know. it was more a subtle brexit joke ;) i voted remain by the way

[Jessica405]

I think that, having trawled through our collection of music from a bygone era, one of the best we did was 1961, when a duo called the Allisons came second. I can't find our copy of the single, but here is some info:

For what it is worth, I think the winner was crap!

[weysally]

because it seems like its not so much about a song but how they dress these days
and all rubbish to me

[jshm2]

You're confused.

The UK has been getting zero for a while. It's little to do with the song or performance. It's more political and interpersonal.

[ChrisMaster69]

@jshm2 we have been scoring low due to politics etc but only zero twice.

We have crashed in to last a few times.

Am I the only one who has no idea what we are talking about lol
I dont watch much TV.
Whats happening now?

[FlatsRunner]

It wasn’t a bad song but the boring stage presence and the amount of really good stuff meant it got lost and forgotten very quickly.

We didn't deserve any points, our offering was garbage.

It cannot be a lack of talent so the problem must be with the people choosing the acts.

[msc545]

It's just nice that you compete - winning is not necessary.

[Jessica405]

I agree, but it would be nice to get at least "un point"!🤣🤣🤣

[msc545]

@Jessica405 Yes indeed, but remember the Chicago cubs...

[Jessica405]

I don't know them...😕😕

I was confused by the video. I thought the guy from the Weeknd had had plastic surgery and then was paid by Disney to promote their next theme song.

[PeterCharie1991]

The last best songwriter we had was freddie mercury
