Well done Josh - you did the United Kingdom proud

He gave the performance of his life!! He sang amazingly, it's just that shitty song.

we deserved last place thats what you get for spending £100

This is a shining example of why we need to change our selection process. Also goes to show that Gemini's 2003 result and subsequent failures were not due to the ridiculous notion of "post-Iraqi backlash".

Nope, just the usual wish-wash of songs. I liked your performer this year, but that is also all I liked.

Aaaand my prediction was 100% correct! He finished last! I didn't post it anywhere but right before the contest begins I said to my family that UK is going to finish last! I got witnesses! :twisted:
Welcome back to the bottom 5
Sorry but you need something totally different!

I totally agree.

The UK's selection process is a total stitch-up. One evening in February/March, for about an hour and a half, the BBC makes a few good-looking people sing karaoke, then some bozo from the eighties slaps a song in their face and tells them to sing it and the best singer goes through to sing it.

Lord Lloyd Webber, OK, but Pete Waterman? That's just... preposterous! SOOC oOX

Exactly what I wanted to point out...

United Kingdom CAN and WILL place high at ESC and even win it when they do put some effort into it.

I've seen the article in "The Times" whining about neighbours voting for each other and poor UK having no negbours to vote for them... that's crap IMO. You cant place high in ESC with neighbour votes, you need to win points from every country. Just like Germany did this year it's a great example.

 

[Margerita86]

Yes, let's see if BBC has learned it's lesson this year, but I personally doubt it.

Or Ukraine in 2008, didn't always get high points. But it got alot of small points which helped it land 2nd place.

Well, BBC and Waterman deserved last place, Josh not

 

[ESCGirl]

Well, THERE'S a surprise...we came last
Seriously the fans on facebook are FURIOUS...they are so mad with the BBC (not Josh though because he was great).

 

[Samb]

Aside from the fact that Josh has absolutely no personality?

 

[Deltage]

I guess it was deserved. Not because the singer of the performance though, the song was just so unoriginal. In fact I haven't seen the performance before and I thought that compared to the performance the song looked especially bad.

I would've been so happy if Belarus got last but Georgia was crazy enough to give it its 12 points. Seriously, I loved the performance and even the song sounds pretty nice. At least they got 10 points.

 

[thms]

great performance by josh.. douze point.. i still prefer the uk song to all the other finalists..

Unfortunatly most here and the rest of europe don't

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

I feel so sorry for him

I just want to give him a big hug! I dont want to think how he must be feeling.

 

[Samb]

If you want to know how he's feeling you could probably ask Scooch, Andy Abraham, Gemini.......
