Advantages: Great show

Disadvantages: Outdated and unfair voting system

OK, so this is a show you watch just because you watch! Just like Christmas, it comes around every year and it's kinda traditional to watch it, good or bad!

The GB entry for the last 2 years was absolutely BRILL and didn't deseve not to win!

Eurovision is a fabulous forum for seeing what kind of music our European (and other) neighbours can come up with. It gets better and better and at last we're seeing some proper music and not the crappy naff stuff of a few years ago

Having said that, the voting system needs a total revamp. Just because some countries in Europe don't like things the UK may have done, they don't vote for us any more. How childish is that? We could have Shirley Bassey, Elton John and Steve Wonder all onstage together and they STILL would't give the GB any votes, so under the present voting system, there is no point in the UK entering as they won't get a fair hearing. Why not open the votes completely to the GENERAL PUBLIC and then we'll find out for real which is the true EUROVISION SONG?

Summary: Despite the above, I wouldn't miss it for the world!
