Why would any singer want to risk any sort of career to enter a competition where we continue to get no points based on political voting. We should do what the Germans did this year and have a song taking the piss Maybe something on the lines of the spitting image chicken song or the like

Our song was fucking wank, that's why we got nil points.
We don't take this contest at seriously as most countries in Europe.
We should send a rock group next year, mix it up a bit.

We could send Oasis and it would make no difference. The die has been cast. The only chance is if it gets turned into the Masked Singer format where no one knows who or what country the singer represents.

Is some achievement to score 0, especially for a country that churns out so much crappy pop that Europeans buy.

Maybe we need a Scottish flavour next year Eurovision used to kickstart or compliment a career. Now it’s the kiss of death

Erm written by award winners performed by singer song writer it was a good catchy tune However he had so much against him Brexit the government mess on covid vaccines and the fact we are hated in Europe because of our politicians Think we either need to pull out or have a joke song sung by one of the rotten singers off I hear your voice Song called why bother what's the point it's got to political

Maybe its just because most of these countries have different tastes in music outside of Sweden (Abba, Ace of Bass and Roxette) and Germany (Scorpions / Rammstein) cant think of any of them who have produced a musical act worth anything for more than 1 song or album.
