When did Eurovision evolve exactly from being a reasonably entertaining evening to a complete farce (from a UK entry point of view)? I refuse to believe that most of the entries submitted by the UK over the last few years are the best we can come up with.
Get Graham Norton out of the picture for a start and let's have a proper Britain's Got Talent style process going. It's becoming embarrassing and it doesn't need to be this way at all.
Well - they used to have a pre-show show to select the UK entrance. It's how acts like 'Scooch' (the awful airline parody song) were chosen. But the UK audience and voters do like to take the mickey (a la Boaty McBoatface) so the acts were always poor and they did away with it.
This is funny if you havent seen it yet from a few years ago in Sweden. This parody is already so much better than a lot of serious entries!

Why do Eurovision still allow the UK to enter the competition? Clearly the British public have a humorous disdain for the actual competition and revel in the absurdity.Original Post Deleted
Perhaps it is a long term plot by the Republic of Ireland to send the UK humourous hosts to shape the nations irreverent individualistic approach to this competition that should be about instilling national pride in a co-operative way?
Clearly Iceland should have won

Apparently the top ten songs were written in a minor key. The bottom four were written in a major key.
The UK was both written in a major key and sung off key.
