Why do we bother with this, any more.

Why don't we just send better songs? 

Spaceman would have won if Ukraine hadn't been attacked that year, it's not that we're hated, it's that we continually send awful music. 

[Trav Le Bleu]

Spaceman was an awful song with nonsensical lyrics.

 

"My navigation systems would search for other signs of life."

 

Well no wonder you didn't find anything, you're using the wrong equipment you hirsute moron!

It is true our tunes are generally awful but we'd probably fare better if we sent Scottish or Welsh acts instead of English.

The Celts are generally more popular than the Saxons in Europe

A pretty good reason if true to tell them to stuff it. Mind Sam Ryder seemed to do well recently

He had a reasonable song.  We have sent some utter utter crap over the years.

Despite, historically, having ravaged most of it, unlike the Saxons.

No Space Man slander on my watch. 

 

It's not only the best song the UK has ever sent, it's an all time Eurovision classic banger and I'll fight anyone who tries to come onto my small hill. 

[Foxdiamond]

Talking about song quality regarding Eurovision is ironic with notable exceptions. Even when the UK won it winners like Sandie Shaw and Lulu rather despised the songs compared to their other material. If Eurovision was simply about the best song and performer the show would be far less overblown though probably less popular

Some wizard of FT should be able to do this, surely?
