I kind of heard this when my radio alarm clock went off this morning. I thought I'd dreamt it or mis-heard. Maybe next year we'll go for Cliff, then Bucks Fizz! The Irish have got Jedward again.
The whole thing's a farce, tone deaf people voting for their next door neighbours, I'd prefer it if we actually did put forward a dead bloke to do it. Davy Jones gets my vote.
Not necessarily next door neighbours but they are laughably cliquey! Germany always give top marks to Turkey and vice versa. Serbia always give top marks to Russia. Sweden always give top marks to Norway and vice versa. Nobody ever votes for France coz everyone hates them. Spain always give top marks to Portugal and vice versa. Belgium always give top marks to Luxembourg and vice versa. Bosnia always give top marks to Croatia. Albania never get any points coz it's always the same act; some goat herding peasant dressed in wellies and sheepskin playing the pan pipes. .....and we always think we should have won having actually come 34th with 8 points.
He could sing this, at least we might get some points from Spain.. [video=youtube;F4s__QO9kG0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4s__QO9kG0[/video]
I like the way the BBC article goes from saying something like it's over 40 years since he's had a top 20 hit, to quoting someone saying how good it is to have such an internationally recognised star agree to represent us without there being any irony.
