# I'm afraid he won't, actually.
French alternative electro? Produced by a member of Daft Punk? Somebody with an actual career? No tarts in glittery dresses or overgroomed wimps? It's a bit too cool for Eurovision.

Also, Finland seem to have defined their national music as metal-type music.

a big enough chance, if they manage to convince one of the popular British acts of the moment to do Eurovision. Hype and promotion will get you a long way.

# I think the last time the UK entered something credible
was about 35 years ago or more. We seem to treat it as a way of humiliating ourselves in front of the rest of Europe.

Gemini??? I ask you...
