Why is the UK entry for Eurovision consistantly crap year after year?

Question

I know the rules state that the song must be new and unreleased, but for f***'s sake our entry this year is a perfect example of our entries for the past few years. Have the UK coordinators of the eurovision entry never heard of myspace.....and infinite archive of unreleased NEW music, most of it crappy but still so so so much better that these Easyjet rejects we're stuck with this year. Sandy Shore, Cliff Richard, Bucks Fizz....... our history is littered with these tragedies apart from Dusty Springfield (later sang Son of a Preacher Man). I feel I am not alone in this query.........

Someone here missed the point of the question.......fool

Answer 1

I guess they are either trying as hard as they can to AVOID having to host the Eurovision again, with all the cost that brings, or they just don't care about it and don't have enough ambition to send something decent to the contest anymore. And then there's always the possibility that good artists just don't want to go to the Eurovision out of fear it wouldn't be good for their career (the Eurovision seems to have a bad reputation in the UK). I think it's time the UK sends something better to the Eurovision. They are one of the countries that always goes straight to the finals without having to qualify first and it's not fair to waste that elite position on such crappy songs year after year.

Answer 2

The english dont want to host it cause it costs too much
