.....nice to see Malachi putting in a wee appearance as well ;) ::lol::

Don't think it's a typically Eurovision song. Oh well.. I can't say I'm that bothered about it...

Last year due to anti war feelings, the UK scored nil points at the Eurovision Song Contest. If we send James Fox across to Turkey, we will get nil points again and like Jemini his career will be blighted for life.

As we do not want that ignomony again, would it be better for James Fox's career and the honour of the UK if this country decided to withdraw from the contest until such time when a new Iraqi goverment can be formed and we can withdraw from Iraq?

We got 'nul points' last year because Jemini were out of tune and forgot the words. According to them, the sound man's fault. Ha - ha. That's not to say that politics didn't play a part in it, it always does, but Jemini were awful which didn't help.

James has the talent and ability to go far and even if he doesn't win he is not likely to score zero points. His fan base in Europe is growing and already he is being voted very highly in all the countries Eurovision polls.

i heard this song for the first time today and thought it was dreadful
it was 3 minutes of pure dirge, there was no catch to the song at all, i'll be suprised if it gets more than 10points at eurovision, then again it is the eurovision song contest we're talking about :-?

Some friends of mine made it to final auditions for Glastonbury this year. They are brilliant but there really was a problem with the sound so the mixing was all wrong and they ended up sounding terrible. Was a great shame.

However Jemini were pretty pants anyway imo :D

But this is the UK entry

In the current political climate, it would be unthinkable for any European country to award them any points what so ever. Especially as it seems the Americans and British are torturing prisoners for kicks.

When James get zero, he will be humiliated and ridiculed and his career will be over. No record company would touch him. He might just get a job stacking shelves for B&Q, if that.

It would be better for him if he withdrew and the UK pulled out of further competitions like this until well after the last British troop leaves Iraq.

I think the one from Finland will win, the one they are playing on the radio ALL the time. I wonder why they are playing that tho and not James... not very patriotic?
