Boo. Not available from Amazon US. But 24 of 70 tracks are UK? that doesn't include "Sing Little Birdie"? Track list: www.nowmusic.com/albums/now-thats-what-i-call-eurovision/ And no "Party For Everybody" from Russia - major miss. And I don't see Celine Dion on the track list either - . |

Yeah they've included some truly dire UK entries on this. James Fox, Nikki French and Lindsay Dracass? Why not just put Josh Dubovie, Andy the Binman and Jemini on it and be done with it?!

I can live without Andy The Binman and Jemini but Dame Nicky and Dracass are complete legends. And Josh DuBovie was the best entry we’d had since the #iconic Samantha Janus. (Both notable omissions on this CD). Great times. |

I am going to be in absolute heaven when this comes out. Some of my all time favourites including Bobbysocks, Alex Rybak and Teach In.

Looks like this year may have plenty for Graham Norton - if only we could get his live commentary in the States

I don't have a winner out of that lot. And that depresses me.
The whole thing has lost sight of what made Love Love Peace Peace so spot on. The crazy isn't crazy enough. The great songs don't even get entered. It is all too processed. Too considered.
Balkan ballad? Tick
Twenty-something man trying too hard to be sexy? Tick
Song trying too hard to be quirky? Tick
Someone trying to make rap and/or rock work for Eurovision? Tick
I was hoping for an explosion of joy and hope this year after last year's sad mish mash of ballads trying to be Arcade. But no. We have got more of the same.
I am contemplating not watching for the first time in decades

But can UK finish on the left? Will the UK get Ireland’s 12 points? Can Malta really afford to host?

We will not do well. No matter the quality of the song, our recent and current history with many European nations will make it unlikely for us to gain many votes.
Which is deeply unfair but inevitable
