| Yes, you've heard of Wigan v Saints, England v Germany, Lions v Kangaroos
Now, not only will Engelbert represent the UK in the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest, but he'll be going head to had with Jedward for Ireland!
Turning the much-maligned but strangely compelling event into a must-watch, who's your money on?
Apologies for a new thread, but not only is the news earth-shattering, it's clearly not music so can't go in the music thread

Not even if they performed naked.
OK, maybe if they performed naked.

| At least we won't have to spend energy hoping for a UK win.
I can't remember a 75 year old bloke winning a recent Eurovision, so let's play it for laughs.
What should we dress him in?
Shall we have him dancing as well?
Shall we have grannies on zimmers as his backing group?
Will he come on stage on a mobility scooter?
Will he be a 'bad ass'?
I can't wait!
He can't do a lot worse than our recent efforts.
However, here he is below predicting his final score.
On second thoughts ... he's playing invisible darts.

Exactly!
At long last the penny has dropped, and we should enter into the spirit of it with with a newfound confidence.
For next year, can we have Freddy Starr resplendent in an Elvis costume, belting out "Rule Britannia" before leaping wild eyed off the stage to dry hump the leg of some random large blonde lady foolish enough to sit in the front row?
Britain at its best, and Johnny Foreigner back in the box!

| Yes, we are certainly finally playing them at their own game. And as a bonus, Hump can certainly sing, plus he specialises in the sort of schmaltzy ballads with big heartstring choruses that go down well with Euro audiences. Plus he's well known around the world, especially by tanning product manufacturers and hairdressers so has a big core support.
We should have entered Paul McCartney that year he did the Frog Chorus.

Has Ireland ever scored nul points?

Dunno, but bloody Jedward got 119 last year, finishing in 8th place overall.

| He should use 'Lesbian Seagull' as his entry. Have a look on youtube for it and I'm sure you'll agree.

He will perform a song to be penned by Grammy winner Martin Terefe and Ivor Novello-winning Sacha Skarbek, who co-wrote James Blunt's massive hit You're Beautiful.
I hope they don't make a James Blunt of themselves.

| I know Eurovision's a joke, BUT....
British singers, songwriters and groups have hits all over the world and write some of the world's best music.
So, why can we enter a song along those lines, instead of the usual crap we enter? We almost won in the year that Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote the song and appeared on stage miming the piano, which goes to show that it's WHO you enter into the competition, not what.
The best showing for years, so what did they follow it up with? Some spotty little get singing something written by Pete Waterman. FFS!!!
Imagine if someone like Robbie Williams or Kasabian entered. OK it won't happen - but if we then LOST, we could write it off for sure as being the political joke it is. Having the profile they have, though, they SHOULD win by a mile.

Because any halfway credible singer/band wouldn't be seen dead on stage at Eurovision.
