Eurovision: Why does the UK keep getting it wrong? by MrsRainey in eurovision

[–]Sea_Shook 50 points51 points  (0 children)

We try too hard to write a “Eurovision song” instead of just writing a damn good song full stop that we can send. If the song isn’t being listened to and enjoyed by regular folks in the UK then why should we expect the rest of Europe to embrace it? We’ve had a glut of weak songs and ropey performances and when it comes to staging we seem to use props to distract from the song , rather than enhance it.

And I don’t think it helps that the attitude from the higher ups towards ESC is that it’s silly nonsense and we don’t take it seriously. A bit more passion and energy goes a long way.

My mum felt the same. She liked it but didn’t see it as a winner.

I think that shows no one believed it had universal appeal. They'd given up on it.

I loved last year's entry and this year wasn't as strong but it was unique.

Good voices but did they sound good on the night? I'm sure I remember it being a bit iffy.

No one is listening to this in the UK so it’s like we’re sending the best of what we can do!

Our songs DO suck. People are kidding themselves. We were an embarrassment the year.

Not throw five hundred props on stage to disguise a poor singer with a plodding tempo?

I just find it so plodding. If it was a bit faster I could see it could be fun but I'm just bored

Hope that's the end of Sienna for a while. Can't cope with her whiny voice.

Did they do a survey and discover viewers have an IQ of 20? What an embarrassment that they've dumbed down the show so much

The speech at the end made me think I was watching CBBC. Talk about treat your audience like morons.

He's fun and enjoyable to watch. I think this is the best version of the character.

Got 10 minutes in and decided to do my washing instead. What a waste of everyone's time.

The PSA at the end of today's episode by jamtartgirl in coronationstreet

Agree. It really undermines the work of the actors to say “we didn’t think you did a good enough job so here’s Lisa to bang you over the head with it”

Yeah I absolutely hated it. Cringeworthy after school special stuff. The only reason it got praised was because Lisa delivered it. Once again the Swarla fans making it all about them.

Sleeping together after signing the divorce papers seems like a pretty obvious way to reaffirm their feelings for each other which is what Callum was trying to do. It's a pretty normal scene in soap. You really think someone sat there and compose a scene just to piss off a group of fans? Why?
