Re: UK

Could that actually be any worse? I say no. What's that thing Salmon Rushy had on him? It can now pass to old Pete Waterman. DIE! DIE! DIE!!

edit: definite last place potential

Re: UK

Fuck me sideways. It's even worse when you watch dork boy singing it on the vid. That has been written on the crapper by someone reading some shitty magazine. That's the depth of it. It's nothing more than a mobile phone ringtone tune from the bottom of the list that's stuck in his head and some seriously mind numbingly bollocks 'words' have been stuck on. If I was a terrorist, I'd fucking nuke Pete Waterman's brain. The west really is shit.

edit: I may have been too hasty - just watching it again in slo mo.... NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

edit: And he can't sing, clearly. I didn't feel the need to point that out but there you go. I did. He can't. He very badly; can't sing.

My god. It's like a really bad bit of the generation game.

edit: Years from now, children will be asked to express awfulness and the 'A' student will have a link to that video at the end of their paper.

Re: UK

And for once I really wasn't exaggerating. We'll have some fun opposing the UK this year. We got anything from France and Germany yet?

Re: UK

Germany yes. That's a back marker too!

France have chosen a black guy who sings like Sean Paul or Chaka Demus and pliers.

UK was 20/1 to finish last the other day.

Yeah someone went big on UK coming last I guess and brought the odds down.

I've been asking about France to Boyles and Paddy - neither are up for it at the moment. CHICKENS!

Re: UK

Really can't see France finishing last - I'd stay away from that to be honest. There's so much trash this year, France almost sounds good. It won't be last.

I asked paddies to get their odds up earlier tonight btw and they assured me they were on it.

Re: UK

No offense guys, but this is just plain horrible. 20/1 for last place was an absolute bargain, it will finish bottom 5 for sure.

Four strippers? And a guy who seems totally lost, with the brilliant move of putting his hand to his ear when singing "sounds good to me"? The song itself is beyond bland.

I realize a lot could be changed though. I read something about remixing the song, anyone know more about this?

Re: UK

It is definately being reworked - to what extent I don't know(there are certain rules regarding how much they can change it) but reaction was so negative that I'd expect something pretty significant.

Whether they have enough to work with to find a diamond in this dungheap is another question.

Re: UK



This is a 7 year old kid on Christmas day after opening his shit yamaha keyboard. Annoying to the extreme. It perhaps should be an extreme sport to listen to this lurid pile of donkey shit!

There will be yet another version of this released. It's got worse, so I don't expect any miracles from stock and waterman; their fee must be huge already as I doubt they remained their fuck-up for free.

Re: UK


New version better? What was now firmly based in 1991 has advanced at most to 1994!

As for the performance quality, well Josh has been utterly deluded into thinking he's singing a great song! This isn't even Butlins! This is Jerry the Saint at the Pheonix Club "C'mon sing it with me!"

Throughout the entire song it seems he's doing a tribute to Peter Kay's "Walking to the dancefloor dance!" It's utterly shocking regardless of the informal nature of the show!

Do the oooohs at the beginning remind anyone else of Jason and Kylie's "Especially for You?"

Re: UK

Just seen it. Christ almighty.

Next year we should just totally tell it like it is. Absolute change of tact. Roland Rat and Jeffrey Archer singing about farts or something. Or wheel in Keith Lemon strapped in to a Davros chair and there's no singing...he just sits there with his middle finger up to the camera for three minutes and then right at the and says, "that's for the French for wearing shite wooly jumpers." Wasn't Komp going to write a eurovision song, or was this it?
