We have before but end up withI’d love to see us do a national selection
Give it as a prize for some vocal contest or something - at least then we know they can actually sing live well and consistently
God remember it was between them and the Darkness
We have a sort of a selection in Ireland (well it's shoehorned into The Late Late Show, but when you see and hear the shortlisted six songs, you'd have to wonder about the other 200 or so entries. Bambie was my favourite this year but she was only third or fourth favourite to win. (Behind a Louis Walsh boy band and the most boring pop song I think I've ever heard)I’d love to see us do a national selection

I know some people don’t like the political discussion here but this is definitely going to turn into a propaganda thing for the state of Israelit makes it sound as if Europe is as behind Israel in their battle in Gaza/Palestine
I remember the one year recently where the format was having like 3 people doing a song in two different genres and the public voting for which person and genre to choose
My 1st memory was Irsael winning in 1979! I was too young to realise it was a contest but I remember 'Hallelujah' clearly!I feel like a lot of posters here have only been watching Eurovision for the last 3 years or soI say that as a veteran watcher since Gina G was our act - THAT was a stand out entry!
We’ve done that before in the past. Either where there were different artists performing a song each or there was one artist performing different songs and the viewers in both scenarios voted who or what song would represent us at EurovisionI’d love to see us do a national selection

I like the songs themselves.... its interesting to see a wide variety of different styles and nationalities,
But they need to redefine or clarify rules about staging... it should surely be about the song... not about the dancers or peculiar set. What on earth was Loreens performance last night about?
and the voting...stinks..... Olly didnt deserve nul points from the televote. And how on earth did the israeli performance score so highly alongside the Ukraine in the televote? Was Ukraine one of the favourites to win last night? Or was that just a popularity vote?
It seems faintly strange that so much of the European televote is so supportive of Israel ...... following on from the UKraine sympathy vote, it makes it sound as if Europe is as behind Israel in their battle in Gaza/Palestine, as they are behind The Ukraine in their battles against Russia. .If this is honestly the case why are there so many pro palestinan marches and demonstrations in the UK? And why are the EU so frustrated with the situation in Gaza?
Either way we never did very well out of itWe’ve done that before in the past. Either where there were different artists performing a song each or there was one artist performing different songs and the viewers in both scenarios voted who or what song would represent us at Eurovision
I haven't dared go near Twitter this morning, they make the thing into a hate fest and it's only supposed to be a bit of fun.The noisy minority are not reflective of the general public and the result across Europe reflects that.
I remember when they would pick an artist and then they'd sing 6 songs and the public would vote. That was back in the days when we used to do quite well.We’ve done that before in the past.

If I recall Sonia was pre-selected as our representative in 1993 and there was a programme where viewers voted which song she was going to perform at the contest. She ended up coming 2nd at Eurovision missing out on the top spot by 1 pointEither way we never did very well out of it
It was a better song than Niamh Kavanagh's to be fair.If I recall Sonia was pre-selected as our representative in 1993 and there was a programme where viewers voted which song she was going to sing to. She ended up coming 2nd at Eurovision missing out on the top spot by 1 point
Yeah, they need to go back to letting the UK public decide who and the song from a small selection.I remember when they would pick an artist and then they'd sing 6 songs and the public would vote. That was back in the days when we used to do quite well.
I think the British public should have some say in who or what represents them. I don't like the BBC arbitrarily deciding on our behalf. OK someone has to prepare a shortlist of singers/songs but if we had a TV show like the Swedish do and invested more in finding new talent I believe we'd do better. There's loads of talented singer songwriters in the UK who are not given a chance.
This is my all time favourite UK entryI loved this one … even though at the time I didn’t understand the lyrics
Michael Ball the same in 92If I recall Sonia was pre-selected as our representative in 1993 and there was a programme where viewers voted which song she was going to perform at the contest. She ended up coming 2nd at Eurovision missing out on the top spot by 1 point
