# Our entry was legit terrible though.
Terrible in every way.

The singer was fat, ugly, out of breath, out of tune and uncharismatic.

The song he wrote had terrible lyrics compared to people writing in English as a second, third, or fifty-fourth language.

The song he produced had no energy, no delineation between chorus and verse, no hook, nothing catchy about it, and was tinny.

FFS, we have a richer history of music production than any other European nation, we have every advantage in terms of talent pool and expertise to draw on, yet here we are, outclassed by Moldovan music tech graduates who refuse to read past the second line in their cheapest available rhyming dictionary, outclassed by all the joke entries, outclassed by literally everybody else.

We don't take the ESC seriously, then we get upset and paranoid every time we inevitably lose. Other countries send their best, understand their audience, and compete to win. We send our worst (eg. X-Factor runners up, washed up ravers, hasbeen/neverwaspub singers, Sonia and fucking Jonathon King). We insult the audience. We don't compete.

We deserved our double-zero as much as we've deserved all our low scores in recent years. Hopefully this will wake up the UK committee and we will see a return to form next year, but I say something like that every year, and the UK committee is still sending 'ave-a-go pub singers with the song they made using Kelloggs Rice Crispy eJay/Playstation Music 2000.

# B...but we sent BONNIE TYLER and still came back empty-handed!

# Not quite so empty handed, we came 19th place with 23 points. It was shit, but infinitely better than what we submitted this year.
Even the last place losers that year got 6 points more than we did this year.

If I was feeling uncharitable I might suggest Tyler was in the hasbeen/neverwaspub singers category, along with Humperdink and, ironically, Katrina & The Waves.

# Israel's song was shite, but at least it was produced and staged well.
Ours was mixed using Tomy technology and our choreographer was a potato.
