Just that really? Whenever it comes around each year theres so much hype, chatter and media coverage about it. But yet it's always made out to seem like 'Eurotrash' and a competition full of tacky performances and terrible songs.
The other day I was listening to the radio and the hosts were talking about Eurovision and mentioned how the U.K. usually places quite poorly in the competition, but that last year we (the U.K.) actually submitted a good entry for once and it came in second (yes I know the song and I do like it!). There was a discussion about how the panel who select the song are trying to choose better songs and artists to enter the competition with the aim to place higher in the results going forward.
Who chooses the artist and song entries each year, and why has the U.K. historically gone with such bad choices? What has prevented them from submitting a good song (equivalent to last years') during the previous years?
I heard the U.K.'s entry for this year on the radio this morning and while I don't mind the song, it sounds a bit dated and not nearly as good as last years song, although better than most of the previous entries from the U.K.
AIBU to not get the hype over the whole Eurovision thing?
