UNITED KINGDOM 2013 - Bonnie Tyler - Believe In Me

[Leydan]

also on a side note. I bet if america was in the eurovision this would be their entry.

Land of dreams from that discover USA video.

It would be interesting to see someone from Wales or Scotland perform a song in Gaelic or Welsh with traditional Celtic style music. This would be also interesting as it would be the first time a UK entry has not been sung in English and the style of music would be very original too.

 

[Jeansy]

okay maybe that was a little too far
Also does anybody have some direct contact info with bbc eirovision team about getting a more detailed breakdown of the votes?

 

[Terry]

You could send them a message to BBC Eurovision on Facebook or send a tweet to @bbceurovision. Not sure if that would help unless you sent an email to the BBC itself who may be able to forward your message.

 

[Jeansy]

Done it now, but thanks for your help

Oh look what I found

Eurovision: Little Boots keen to represent the UK after Bonnie Tyler flops | The Sun |Showbiz|TV

Ignore those snobbish comments at the bottom..

Just listened to Remedy and it is an amazing song. I wish I knew of Little Boots sooner, this kind of song would be amazing in Eurovision and I hope the BBC listens to her call and get her entry submitted right away. She would have a whole year to write and produce an awe-inspiring tune so the BBC should do this right now instead of waiting till March next year.

oh wow. What a great idea. I so hope they choose her, that's if she wasn't joking.

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

OH NO PLSSSSSSSS

I dont want any more of these internally selected artists, we only get crap results! Big national final please for the love of God!!

 

[QwaarJet]

Little Boots would be really good. I'm all for internal selections if they get it right. It's not as if involving the British public has been very successful either.

exactly. We have been issues since 2003, they only started to internally select in 2010. Don't get me wrong i would love a Melodifestival thingy national final. But there just isn't enough public support out there for it. To most people Eurovision is a guilty pleasure never to be mentioned in public to a soul.

Though it's not like they've ever been given very many songs to choose from either, as well as them being unexceptional in quality.

 

[GermanBango]

You'll may hit me but I actually liked Bonnie's performance

 

[Mrm]

You'll may hit me but I actually liked Bonnie's performance

Me too, I wrote that immediately after I came from Arena, my both aunts and Mum liked it too! She deserved more..

Your signature is too nice!

We're totally in a difficult position as UK Eurovision fans. We have British talent out there, we have people who clearly love Eurovision as usually 10 million tune in (more than most highly populated countries), we have a fantastic Eurovision record (not that that means anything anymore), yet every year we come up with some under par, mis-judged shite. Even when we get it right with Andrew Lloyd Webber, the song is dated and not modern Eurovision material. If Jade Ewen had entered in 1994 she probably would've won.

If I have to point a finger it's to the BBC, they're clearly out of touch. I bet my life they chose the jury voters for 2013 - all over 60 or so I heard. Eurovision is a young competition these days, it appeals to young voters, not old jury judges with bits of cobwebs stuck in their ears. I reckon that ITV should take Eurovision on even if it meant adverts. Look what they've done with Britians Got Talent and X Factor, they totally smash it every year. Simon Cowell would'nt touch it with a barge pole but I can imagine a record producer would breath some youth in to it.

We have so much talent in the UK, A perfect UK Eurovision entry would be something like Domino by Jessie J. Upbeat, cool, appeals to the masses. There must be some current artist out there who is willing to take on Europe? I wish Girls Aloud would've done it with Something Kinda Ooooh. That would've been perfect.

Please please please BBC, if you are reading this, poor some cash in to our entry and make the UK proud again and use our rich resources!

ITV would turn it into an X-factor style show and they'd do their own thing and make it even worse. Splash! would be a prime example, a great show ruined by ITV making it even cheesier than it already was. You'd see no change moving to any other channel other than them making a bigger farce. The BBC put effort in with regards to Jade & Blue. They can do it, but when entrants such as Engelbert & Bonnie appear, they don't need to put in heavy amounts of effort to get 9m ratings. The BBC aren't fussed about the score, just who tunes in. Eurovision is turning more popular, it's discussed more the semi's are being watched more it's clearly on the up. But from the BBCs background why bother spending loads of resources when they have a free alternative appear? It's their cheapest night of TV a year from a business perspective why put in more effort than necessary. If the BBC actually wanted to win, we'd see one straight away, hopefully with someone such as little boots announcing that, we're more likely to have more recent artists ask to represent the UK. If they ask/offer it's free for the BBC to just accept it.

 

[IanP]

I'd say ITV would be more concerned about viewership than BBC. I'd say it's a fact actually. I just think that maybe ITV would breathe some fresh life in to the competition. Bring is some young blood. I understand many people loathe ITV but I think they would bring a more relavant entry to the competition and a younger audience.

 

[cassio]

7 million viewers from a country who is known all over Europe as a country who hates Eurovision
I find that pretty funny

 

[angry]

Please please please BBC, if you are reading this, poor some cash in to our entry and make the UK proud again and use our rich resources!

Are the members of MUD still alive? you could send them :-) I thought Bonnie was drunk, she was soooo bad.

But now serious, I would be more than happy to give well-deserved 1200000000 points to the UK and join your Party Esc 2015. Looking forward to it!
