This is what British people think should win the hearts of Continental Eurovision voters but it never will. The trouble is UK does not take the competition seriously, sending kitschy trash because "those quaint silly Europeans like that crap anyway". That's not the right attitude!
Well, the reality is that there is a huge gap between modern musical cultures on the British Isles and the Continent. In terms of quality production and hit songs, the whole of Continental music industry is worth about 2,8% of that in UK and Ireland. Bearing that in mind, it is easy to understand why the British feel so tongue-in-cheek about the indomitable Balkan "nay-nah-nah", self-congratulatory Germanic pop trash and Slavic drag queen entries that their cousins across the Channel keep gleefully churning out, year after year after year.
To win the ESC, you MUST believe in the crap you sing and it MUST show. Unti you learnt the importance of that, you will always bring home "nul points". Farcically gay acts like Scooch of 2007 just won't do, how could you ever expect the Euro-public to take to this colourful spit in the face?
