Eurovision 2015 10 Years, 3 Months ago

Australia announces the singer but not the song. They really haven't got a clue, have they? Any country. The essential is the song. Yes, the singer matters but it's very much secondary. Still, for me, my best Entrant was Just A Little Bit but Gina G was not good enough as a performer so I got Katrina, who was wonderful with a less good song, Love Shine A Light.

No clear winner yet (unlike Sweden with Euphoria and JK £700 richer) but a couple I reckon would be good bets. Actually a much improved collection of entries; several top of 2nd division. After I've placed my bets (small ones, great odds) I'll let you know my punts. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

I fear it will not be the United Kingdom. Horrible song. Sad that the presenter hadn't done his Eurovision revision. Jemini were not the second duet to enter for the UK. They forgot about Bardo and "One Step Further". Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

UK entry not too bad but very derivative and like a million other songs. The kind of song that would have been in our final six but would not have been chosen, I suspect. www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=electro_v...t_the_united_kingdom Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

I thought I didn't like it, then I couldn't get it out of my head! I think Pearl Carr and Teddy Johnson were the first duet to compete for the UK with Sing Little Birdie. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Classy and yes, a touch of One Night In Bangkok (which I think we publish)… a very similar melody and hook to many, many songs. Not entirely original. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

OK my £20 went at 16-1 on Slovenia (pretty good) and £10 at 33-1 on Cyprus - Elvis Costello sings Sam Smith, but rather good. That's not yet having heard all the entries. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Bardo were hot favourites to win in 1982 in Harrogate (no really Harrogate in Yorkshire). They deserved to win it ahead of Nicole with a little peace. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

"UK entry not too bad" No, it's dreadful. Sounds like the Charleston. Dave Mindel's a nice bloke and it's par for the course that this type of traditional songwriter would fit with the selection methods of the BBC. Zero chance and, pitifully perhaps, null points.

I think it's one of the better ones since my era ended, though worryingly unoriginal. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Watching the traditional TV interviews (BBC Brekkie this morning) brings nostalgia for my time in charge with Love City Groove, Ooh Aah Just A Little Bit, Love Shine A Light, Imaani and others. You can see, looking back, how my route was "find the song" whilst others since have chosen different ways.

Once the BBC sees sense and makes me Director-General the first thing I'll do is cancel our involvement in this godawful annual vomit of naffness. I will then instruct the Controller of BBC One to replace it in the schedules with an annual BBC live concert by a top British star or group who actually have talent. Oh yes, and I'll cancel Casualty, too, but I can't give away any more at this stage.

Apart from the fact it's nearly a rip off of Fat Sam's Grand Slam .. I love it. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Well spotted PB and there are several other virtually identical songs - it's quite fun but sadly yet another No8 or so. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

There's quite a buzz for a track called Heroes that's in the Swedish national final tonight Saturday. It's not bad but nowhere near as good as Euphoria was at the same stage a few years ago; I put £100 on Loreen then and won £700. To these tired old ears, Slovenia's entry is better and I like Cyprus as an outsider. If either of them win I make £340.

Horrible start but gets better. I think the video helps it a great deal. Certainly better than the UK entry. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.
