Interesting that my UK entry which would have been Kylie's Dancing has been a relative commercial flop; anyone agree with me it would have won Eurovision for the UK or am I out of touch with the modern public?

I am not sure that it would have won Eurovision because it creeps up on you rather than be instantly catchy, which a winner needs to be.

by her own admission she is not a great live singer but some previous winners were not that great either on the other hand she does have charisma and a large worldwide fan base which could swing it,
it would have have made interesting viewing even more interesting and if she did have a go perhaps that would encourage other current uk established stars to have a go rather than old 60 year old plus has beens, i won't mention any names,
remember Blue had a go and they should have been top 10 or even top 5 but were "stopped" by the jury vote plus their presentation and performance could have been better on the night

And every other night!

Yes much though I love Hugh who, apart from now running the UK Eurovision contest is a good friend, his skills are making the most of the artistes he has (Billie; Martine; Blue) more than finding obscure hits (Ooh Aah Just A Little Bit; Who Let the Dogs Out; I Get Knocked Down...). I tend to be better suited to Eurovision; where an instant hit is more important than a lasting artiste. Having said that, our publishing empire did very nicely picking up an obscure Swedish artiste years ago with a song called Waterloo.
