Same. As far as I'm concerned, Tel's slightly drunken ramblings made it watchable despite the fact we all knew we would lose no matter what. No surprise he's gone, but it's very much the poorer for it.

I might give next year one last chance, but as far as I'm concerned unless something dramatic happens it'll be the final curtain.

The sooner the BBC stops spending the licence fee on this **** the better.

How can we find talent like Will Young and Leona Lewis yet churn out crap that the BBC does for the Eurovision.

Huh? What's the BBC got to do with the crapness? Eurovision itself is the problem here, not the BBC coverage.

If we asked Will Young or Leona Lewis to take part in Eurovision, they'd almost certainly decline (at least without a sizeable bribe). If they did, they's still get slaughtered by the bloc votes, and it'd do no favours at all for their careers as a result.

In fact, I'm surprised Andrew Lloyd Webber volunteered, but he has probably had a long enough career not to care now, and he won't be the one on stage on the night anyway.
