it's part of an alternative culture that I don't need to get involved with. Non-binary model Jamie Windust.

I'm sure many people including David Bowie were doing "non-binary" many years ago, before the term was invented!

The song itself was not too bad and apparently the lad is a nice boy. But that isn’t enough when set against other countries’ entries. Someone summed it up as being that we are selecting the sort of artists and songs that might have come from X-factor or BGT. That level of amateurishness and unoriginality is simply not good enough for Eurovision. We need a rethink / reboot. I'm not sure ot matters, we could enter Mickey Mouse or robbie William's or any professional singer writer and we'd still come last.

never mind brexit and all that political nonsense. historically the UK has been the most successful country on this side of the pond in writing and performing pop music. then Eurovision came along and the second-raters in Europe used to play our success down out of pure envy. now we don't even bother to field decent music because no serious musician wants to get involved in such a puerile 'competition'..... not really a competition at all actually.
................. well, that's my take on it anyway.

We did used to enter well known acts, and we did use to win. My take on it is that the Uk then started to look down on the whole competition and laugh at the other entries. Obviously this resulted in the rest of Europe getting their own back.

The song wasn't that bad, as Eurovision entries go. Thing is, to win, you have to appeal to the visual side of things. If you want to win such a competition, you don't enter a fat chav wearing a motorbike jacket. OK, he had a couple of beauties dancing around him at one stage but he looked completely out of place with them.
