You introduced me to that song in Helsinki last year, JK. I remember plugging it to any delegate prepared to give me the time of day. It would make a credible entry for any country, and with the right arrangement and a big stage performance, would stand a definite chance.
I imagine plenty of other good songs were rejected. I get the impression the BBC use music experts to choose the songs, but not people with any clue as to what it takes to win a song festival, which is a very specialist area.
If you're listening, BBC, I'm available!

Here is the song I wrote specially for Eurovision - rejected, of course.

And let's not forget the terrific Joanne May song "You stayed away too long" i think a Don Black penned track. I tell you what - i'd take that ahead of any entry we've had since Katrina!

I've just listened to the clips. Very uninspiring. I expect Changes by Simona will win. Some glimmer of originality in that one perhaps.
Yodel, You stayed away too long, All Time High, Only the women know, I need you, One gift of Love, Crazy. Just a few titles off the top of my head, from the JK era, which would have walked this year's selection. There are many more.
At least the Irish have attempted something different to take on those Eastern Europeans, with that bloody turkey!

Forgot it was up against the Canadian entry that year, hehe. Point taken. Shame though, it was a cracker.
