If you were in a good band, would you want to do it?
Nope, me neither.

Cunobelin said:I read somewhere that the cost of Eurovision nearly bankrupted RTE and that the cost at present to the hosts is something like 12 or 13 million pounds!
Rob S said:...the whole of Europe are watching the clips before the songs which used to be filmed in touristy bits.
Mr Pig said:What good is that when the only people watching are people who never get out?
Rob S said:We're talking about Eurovision...not Star Trek!!
Mr Pig said:Same type of people, different age groups!
Mr Pig said:Anyway, the songs, who cares! I always thought the Euro no-vision was a joke. Britain produces some of the best rock and pop music in the world yet when it comes to this so-called song contest do we get the people who make them to make one for us? Nope. Almost certainly because high-level artists wouldn't want to be associated with the dross that constitutes this feast of the ridiculous.
It's a laugh. Who cares who wins?
llllllll said:Exactly. Why do people get so wound up by this? Bloc voting has been going on for years and years, yet every year people seem surprised that it's happened. Let's face it, Eurovison is xxxx. The acts that take part are not only xxxx, but wouldn't have a hope in hell of selling any records in the real world (if any part of the pop music business can be called real world) and every single one of them will be long forgotten by the end of next week. The only entertainment (and admittedly it's quite a lot) you can derive from Eurovision is laughing at how awful the foreign acts are (ours are usually awful as well, but that's not funny, just embrassing).
