JK2006	Ah, just to clarify (I made most of the rules and know most of the rest of them due to running the UK end when we won - and had hits and decent entries)... Acts can have up to 6 people in them and not all have to be on stage. So a four piece CAN have two offstage backing singers - and why not? Much though I loathe the Scooch song and all it stands for, you cannot criticise them on this. And I still think Cyndi would have been a far better entrant. And the best song by a mile was I Can - ruined by so many silly mistakes.
GLEN	Hear Hear Anthony. I'd have to go as far as saying this is the worst ever UK entry. Beggars belief how people could have voted for it. Not only was it the worst of the 6 acts, it was up against the best of the 6 in the sing off (Cyndi) and our moronic brain dead televoting public still couldn't differentiate between class and crass. Hope it scores nul points, would be so richly deserved. I hear also - front page of paper today that they didnt sing live and used off set backing singers - other performers have complained about it.
Bemuso	It suggests the TV voters can't read or use a computer... which figures.
Anthony	The musical taste of the UK public is certainly brought into question. However, had the BBC ensured six quality songs, then they wouldn't have had the option to vote for such drivel. This would never have happened in JK's day.
Bemuso	Not being a Eurovision historian I'm approximating... but didn't we always do better with an experienced music act rather than one of these pop confections? Where is its audience? Where is its market? Where is its appeal (outside the UK couch potato waistland)? It's guaranteed to score lower than Daz in Europe, with its risible choreography and dumb chirpy composition. Meanwhile I think we're safe in saying that Europe will vote (for each other, yes, but...) for a music act with some kind of musical ability... and not for this primary colour window dressing. It's an insult to the real musicians who put the effort in. I'm sure the votes on Saturday were from people who never watch Eurovision and still cherish the old Bing Bang Bong days. Rubbish. Wogan doesn't help.
