JK2006	I'm afraid I go for incompetence over conspiracy every time when it comes to the BBC and when we won in 1997 and the media said the BBC wouldn't want to pay to host it, I offered to buy the rights and stage it myself. No, no, no, they cried. Hosting Eurovision makes the country a fortune in ticket sales, merchandising, restaurant and hotel endorsements, travel and tourism boosts... never under estimate the potential profits. If I'd stayed in charge, Eurovision would have become the BBC's X Factor/BGT.
HitMaker	I seriously wonder if the BBC wanted to stage and pay for the contest in 2011. Apparently Katie Melua offered her services but was turned down. Personally I would stage a contest with 2 semi finals of 12 and a final of 12 unless a big star could be persuaded to compete.
Michael	Have to agree with you. I can't remember anything about the song or the singer. What were they thinking when they put this one together?
david	my thoughts on this year's UK results- We are constantly looking for excuses as to why we don't win, as if we have some divine right to win Eurovision. Until last year we blamed so called political voting by Eastern Eurpean nations, then we came 5th which weakened the case for that argument. Add to that the fact that last year Norway won, and this year it was Germany, neither of which are Eastern European. So now we look for a new excuse- ah yes, everyone in Europe is anti-British. I have lived in 3 European countries outside of the UK, one of which is an Eastern European country, and have experienced no anti-UK feeling. We had a very poor entry this year, yet again. That is the reason we ended up last.
Prunella Minge	I gave up when that racket with the strobe lights was on. Was it Turkey? It was lousy TV I thought, and gave me a headache. At least that saved me from enduring the 101 examples of 'Can we first congratulate you guys on a FANTASTIC show?' I wish the Beeb would drop this outdated tosh.
