'Phantom Of The Eurovision'

God Help Us!
The Lord has been asked to pen next years Eurovision entry for the UK in Moscow.
The whole thing will be done thru Lloyd Webber's favorite medium of selection -YES a reality show!

Saw the ad on TV yesterday and peed.
He really does love this telly lark.

ARGH!! Can't watch this! It says "Not available in my area"
aka another country... bloody BBC!

The broadcast was very funny indeed! And made better at the time because that there was to be a broadcast was announced with such deadpan seriousness as well.

But although Eurovision is a bad joke, it would be nice to at least have an entry that is not so excruciatingly dreadful that one can't watch.

And for once, a certain degree of public participation is not so entirely inappropriate. It is just that in recent years ALL the options have been awful. What is less than impressive about this latest effort (if I have it right) is that the collection of potential performers this year will get picked from videos sent in. So another motley crew of inappropriates is on the cards. Look who they picked last year, and that was with some level of choice!

It's quite sweet that someone with such a terrible face likes being on telly so much. It's like one Jim'll Fix It I saw where they sent this kid with no legs to go to Leeds United and kick a ball about the pitch on his pretend legs.

I am, however, a little pissed off that we're not going to have proper heats.

Didn't they move from jury voting to public voting (when that became feasible), in part to try to get away from the political voting in the first place?

Oh dear are we still bothering with Eurovision?

Ok, found it on youtube... my gawd! It almost made it seem like Bin Laden was going to take over the UK or something!
He was really compassionate, more than McCain... Lord Andy for President 2008!!

In the lords first line he says people of britain something, something! the line should be: People Of Britain i need a slap for this is my craziest idea ever and how does anyone think this is going to work ! i respect the lord for his fantastic musicals but i must say i think the lord has finally lost it !

i don't mind the 'auddtion' prosees being open to the public, at the end of the day talent is talent, and i gess it's a good platform for new talent, it just the whole reality tv thing, it makes every thing so...ummm...i dunno...is degradeing the right word? And i'm not always shure 'the public' makes the right destion

sorry for bad spelling :)

Well it can't be any worse than the sh~t we usually put up (Jemini and Andy Abrhams?! I had to google to find out who they are/were!).

Though I'm still quite upset that we didn't send a heavily pregnant baby-pink-lyrca-clad Jordan along a few years ago...
