Andrew Lloyd Webber has said he is worried that one of his Eurovision finalists may not cope well with representing the UK in Moscow. The composer said that if the public voted for the wrong act he " might not go" to Russia in May, adding: "I really can't be a miracle worker." news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7861547.stmwhat a drama queenie he is. i just hope sandie gets through. so there!! |

It's been sort of known for ages that he'd chosen his act from the start, I feel it will be the leggy one!

Dreadful song Andrew Lloyd Webber has written for our Eurovision Song Contest entry. All of the three finalists sang it tonight before the winner was announced. I don't think we stand a chance with this song!  |

Libby, thankfully I missed the final show but the result does not surprise me. I doubt the UK would have won no matter which performance was chosen. The Eurovision 'Song' Contest is more about political alliances than musical composition. Of the three contestants who reached the final I felt that the solo male had the best singing voice, and could normally hold a tune and a note.

Got this recorded as I was out shopping at the Trafford Centre - and just couldn't get away!  I do have it recorded but couldn't resist a peek at this, just as I thought - the leggy one! ALW is not a writer of songs for Eurovision, where the hell that idea came from I'll never know. Should have got Leona singing something written by a 'today' writer. Oh well, no Wogan (apparently), another load of tripe - we are still gonna be laughed at then! |

He didn't say i don't think Foxy! Having said that, he didn't seem too keen on Mark's songs last night. I thought Mark was brilliant all the way through, he just sang the wrong songs last night. Also his rendition of the "tripe" British entry for the Eurovision wasn't brilliant. Then again, he had nothing to work with, the song is absolute rubbish! I thought the twins were pretty good last night, much better than before.
Even if the song had been brilliant, we wouldn't win with it, it's all too political. The voting system is so biassed, it's a joke! I think Jade will be wasting her time frankly. It's a darn shame though.

Jade was brought in at the last minute by ALW as he was unimpressed with the quality of the singers there - that's your answer Foxy!!

My daughter and I had the feeling from the beginning that Jade had been put in it to win it, and she did. I had been hoping the twins would represent us, but has been pointed out, doesn't matter who it is, the East Europeans will still vote for their own. I could have sworn, though, that Lloyd Webber said he would only write the song once the winner had been announced, so I was surprised when the song was suddenly produced at the final for all three finalists to sing.

That's right, he did. All three had a totally different style and one song did not fit all, big con. Still say it's a West End show song though, and in no way right for Eurovision.

I heard that too Sushi. I agree too that the winning song sounds like a West End musical song, and certainly not suitable for Eurovision! Apparently Jade is destined to be placed last with NIL POINTS according to the critics today! Poor girl, hardly worth entering!  |
