Bluerovision

Ok, let's move away from fashion for the moment because it's time for a bit of cheese. What better way to properly embrace the music equivalent of the smelliest, strongest Camembert than by talking about the Eurovision Song Contest.

Last month it was announced the UK entry will be by boy band Blue who will be singing a song called 'I Can'. Ok, sounds promising so far doesn't it? Until you hear it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y54uuEcMYj0.


And thus here are some reasons why we won't be winning the Eurovision Song Contest 2011:

1. It's not bad enough to be good; it's just bad

2. It's instantly forgettable. I've listened to it three times and couldn't sing it back if I tried. That's a sure-fire way to test how good a Eurovision song is

3. The lyrics: It’s like rain falling down
Drops of pain hit the ground
I can’t speak
There’s no sound when you’re gone


Drops of pain hit the ground? Come again?

4. It's a sad song in a minor key. In other words, drivel

5. Sweden's entry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nfx0OMM2u0A

Maybe 2012 will be our year.
