It’s official. The UK have completely given up on Eurovision and are now treating it as a massive joke.
Why else would they send this cheesy hot mess of a song performed by a Mick Jagger impersonator and a reject from The Voice?
I can understand that they were hurt last year, after putting in a huge effort with Molly – and receiving lots of positive vibes – only to crash out on the big night. The "everybody in Europe hates us" line once again got its regular Eurovision outing in the British press.
But do they really think electro-jazz is the way to win Europe over? Have they accidentally teleported back to 1999, when Lou Bega was dominating the charts? It’s all very puzzling. Even the local press is embarrassed.
I think it’s a worrying time for the UK’s participation in Eurovision. After the results of the recent elections and with an EU referendum on the cards – Electro Velvet sadly won’t be doing much to enhance pro-Europe sentiment in the UK.
