The UK Sends Us To Sleep With Two Boys & A Guitar
Let’s be honest, the UK sucks at picking a decent song (Or talent) to represent them in Eurovision. With that in mind, I would like to remind you on a few of the worst UK entries I can remember participating in Eurovision:
- Jade Ewen — It’s My Time: What a bunch of meh?
- Daz Sampson — Teenage Life: Chav-tastic
- Bonnie Tyler — Believe In Me: Block your ears and remember the good times
- Engelbert Humperdinck — Love Will Set You Free: Worst decision ever!
But with a new year, we hope and we pray that the UK will finally get their act together and produce something amazing. To build up excitement, the BBC opened up to the public with a national vote and 6 songs to choose from.
So let’s get cracking and let's run through my favourites and find out who was the winner.
UK | Eurovision: You Decide
(Ranked in order of my favourites)
#3…. Nope
#2… Really?
#1… Serious!?
What a bore fest. It was either country folk, coarsely sung ballads or guys in suits. BTW if you haven’t watched the trainwreck that was the national finals click here. So after nothing spectacular, let's talk about the winner.
Overall Rating: 3/5 Engelbert Humperdinck’s
What does it sound like? A cute indie pop number with a lot of softly strung guitars and claps.
Stand out moment: When Joe stares at the camera with his beady little eyes.
How will it go in Eurovision? It’s one of those songs that allows you to get up from the couch, grab another wine, beer or Eurovision inspired plate of food and come back not missing much at all.
How can UK win Eurovision in 2017? By sending an Australian, because it worked last time!
