Yes but the most horrific thing Zooloo, is that I fear not only will the competing contestants have to battle it out, but inevitably have to battle out their every move in a Big Brother style house again.
Now, this of course will be just after Christmas when the pains of X Factor and their obvious December number 1, would normally become ripples in a pool and fading away and sadly, it looks like another one will then start for the Eurovision "battle".
Had the contest been in the UK next year, I would have a completely different view on this, all I can see from what they appear to be planning here is more people humiliation in the name of entertaining the public.

Although I don't like the X_Factor thing the idea of broadening EV out to include the public isn't such a bad idea.
I have no other suggestion on how to get people to engage (re-engage?) with it.
...oh ...except enter a very good song
But trying to give a tired format a new lease of life by using another tired format... hmmmm... dunno

Love it!!
Did this board not say some rules were being broken here?
Take a look at their Eurovision Blog which includes -
'This is a fantastic opportunity to have your own music heard across the UK and to be recognised by a vast European audience which could open the door to a number of lucrative offers in the future. For further information on entering, please visit the BBC website at www.bbc.co.uk/eurovision Closing date for the competition is 5pm on 21 November 2008.
The competition is being advertised nationwide so it is expected there will be a huge number of applicants. However, all singers and soloists who apply and email Rob Saunders at rob@deucemp.com with your telephone number, a link to your songs and video footage of you singing will have their material sent directly to the producers of the show for preferential listening if deemed suitable.
