Worst song of the night if it was them for me, don't even know how that can qualify as music tbh, but hope you enjoy the show, Reykjavik is a great place to visit. that was them! that was their most "commercial" number, if you didn´t like that, you certainly won´t like the rest of their songs!!

Indy_Bones 441 Posted May 19, 2019 Just now, Daz Sparks said: Did you hear our song? It was utterly bland and deserved roughly what it got.... b*gger all. No way was it the worst song on the night though, and that's the point that sticks in the craw somewhat. I have no problem with accepting our entry was very run of the mill and absolutely not deserving of a win in any shape or form, but to suggest that many of the other entries which were pretty dire as being significantly better than our entry is a complete joke.

I can guarantee you're right about that HIWEM! I can't handle anything that employs 'Death Growling' or similar to convey lyrics, it just hurts both my ears and my sensibilities and offers zero musicality to me. It's kind of tricky when you work alongside someone in a truck all day and they thoroughly enjoy that sort of thing as well! 'Classic' screaming such as Ian Gillan from DP is no problem (Child in Time is just amazing), but the more modern sound which appears to be someone strangling a bear just doesn't cut it for me tbh. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwindonCanary 455 Posted May 20, 2019 They said The Eurovision Song Contest is a non-political event and Madonna had been made aware of this." So was our song really the worst of them all ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stop having a competition to select a winner and just appoint a top act, if they can convince anyone to do it, of course. No pop lite acts. Something like Kasabian or Foals.

Trevor Hockey's Beard 520 Posted May 23, 2019 Maybe we should all get a vote on this, a sort of Leave or Remain type thing, perhaps with publicly voted representatives also having a say, and maybe, or maybe not, the final say. Maybe we could get a second vote on whether we agree with the publicly voted representatives; or not. That way we'll still be in it in 3 years time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiwiScot 1,418 Posted May 24, 2019 We need to support Australia as thats as close to a British winner as we are going to get. Or maybe get a Scottish person to sing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted May 24, 2019 European music apart from the odd one or two has always been sheeite. They might be alright for classical type music and a bit of sculpture and art but popular music is dross. They will never be able to produce good music until they realise not everything in life is happy and smiley. Its us miserable boogers in the UK that produce the best stuff. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
