Your Country Needs You!
Your country is stupid!
Despite being a camp old fart, I have no real interest in Eurovision whatsoever. Tonight, however, the TV got switched over just as Your Country Needs You had started so morbid curiosity led to us watching it. The program itself was truly unremarkable other than watching Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber struggle to be comfortable in front of a camera, something that he is clearly not cut out for.
The song that he has written was a pretty good tune that should be well received at Eurovision but the deliveries by the remaining finalists were a bit ..................... um ............ not sure how to describe it. Mark has a good voice but didn't really do anything spectacular. Jade is a Mariah Carey/Leona Lewis wannabe and sang the song exactly as we expected incuding Mariah style warble bang on cue. This is Eurovision on X-Factor!
The Twins on the other hand were perfect Eurovision with the harmonies and dual vocals lifting the song from ordinary to extra-ordinary.
Unfortunately the public are stupid, they have been fed far too much X-Factor tripe and so were drawn to voting Jade into the winning spot. It was a total travesty and I have no doubt that with Jade rather than The Twins in the hot seat, Great Britain will once again fail spectacularly in Moscow.
