The UK entry for this year’s Eurovision Song  Contest was chosen on Saturday night. The winning song was “Flying the Flag” by Scooch:

Hmmm, I’m undecided. Whilst I don’t doubt that this song is crazy Euro fun, is this the kind of thing that works at Eurovision anymore? This is important! They must do their country proud!!

Before the Making Your Mind Up show, hot favourites were Justin Hawkins and Beverlei Brown singing “They Don’t Make Em Like They Used To”.

This is kind of a fun song too, but gets a little bit high and screechy in places. And then only dogs can hear. And dogs can’t use the telephone to vote. And that’s why they didn’t win.

What I want to know is, why does this Making Your Mind Up competition always feature such has-beens? Justin Hawkins, Liz from Atomic Kitten, Brian Harvey…didn’t Scooch break up like 4 years ago? I suppose credibility is not a big feature at Eurovision…
