Well, Georgia sure missed a chance at an excellent placing with "Shine" in 2010 with a messy and over-the-top performance.

2But surely the song was just nice/pretty without that? I thought most of the wow factor came from the staging. I think it came third or something in the semi-final right? And 9th overall? So it did pretty well for itself anyway. It was never going to win~ :3

Bonnie seems to be a bit naive. Strange considering her experience. I think this song will end up in about 18th position. When will the BBC learn that it's not ok to just get on stage and sing a nice safe song. They don't even seem to care that Bonnie's vocals are all over the place. Too much nostalgia and not enough people in charge who know what they are doing. Employ some people from SVT to select our Eurovision song. The BBC can't cut it.

As much as I think the BBC are crap at ESC I wouldn't want a load of tut from G:son or Kempe either.

How To Win Eurovision is basically a show about how crap Eurovision is. It illustrates the attitude which is exactly why we don't win any more.

That programme was 2 hours of ****. It was ignorant, xenophobic, racist and transphobic rolled into one giant ball of bigotry. Once again showing the complete shambles that is the BBC Eurovision team.

Glad I can't receive BBC3 over here, then.
I wish Bonnie all the best next Saturday

The program wasn't that bad it was pretty much the same as the Olympic one they did last year in the same cynical format. It focused far too much on the don'ts
It was an individual production, not many of the actual delegation made it Gemma the web producer was in the credits. Though light hearted I think some things can be gleamed at one department being critical of another.
- Those at the top have not got over Blue not doing better and I think they were half expected to be given the win
- They actually said the recent entries have been utter crap
- They were apologetic to Josh in what he was lumbered with.
- For the first time the Iraq War was not blamed for 2003.
- They recognise a big name should not equal a good placing unlike the actual Eurovision pickers
- Also they admit the staging of the recent entries of the UK have also been bad.
- This production said more effort was made in the past entries compared to today.
- They pretty much said Eurovision won't get wider interest unless the lyrics improve which I agree.
Yet as they looked at the wrong things to do at eurovision this production was saying if these things did not work the first time, then why the hell did the selectors think it was right to go down this route later on with a worse version of the original that did not work?

The "tut" that you mention won the contest last year and was a smash hit across Europe and beyond. I'd take that over our recent efforts.

Well unless she sings a completely different song then we have no chance of winning.
UK - Bonnie Tyler - Believe In Me
Bonnie is wearing street clothes so we're expecting something different for the second rehearsal. She using a microphone stand throughout the first chorus and then starts walking towards her band on Stage. The Stage is orange, yellow and red. The last chorus is being performed on the catwalk where the wind machine comes into play. Vocally it sounded really good though the volume is way too low in the press center.
MATT: She sounded great so we don't have to worry about a Humerdinck repeat. Since she didn't really dress up she seemed a bit out of place but we'll know more for sure next rehearsal
