The Eurovision song contest is such
a joke nowadays. Firstly, the participants now include Russia, and even
Australia so that the organisers can receive extra money for the television
rights. It seems to be hosted in Eastern European countries which is very
worrying considering the trouble on the borders of these countries; and where
do they get the cash to host the event anyway? Apparently, the UK is the fourth
biggest financial contributor to the competition, yet the other countries
seldom acknowledge this when it comes to giving out points. Secondly, the
artists all seem to be acts that no-one’s ever heard of. Why not ask a
commercial artist who’s had a chart-topping hit to produce something for crying
out loud? It’s great that we now have a national competition where the public
can have a say on what our song should be; but why aren’t we relying on our
award-winning talent? Our last entry was made up of people who had failed to
win a TV karaoke competition. Well done to Sir Terry Wogan for highlighting the
farce that it is.
