[QUOTE="dankargo, post: 1071318, member: 402329"] Eurovision is no longer the cheese-fest that a lot of the public, especially in the UK, make it out to be. It was the case a decade or two ago but its changed dramatically since then. There's a lot of ignorant people out there who will dismiss a song once they find out it is linked to the contest, even if its pleasing to their ears. I'll never forget a great example in 2014 when the Dutch entry made its way into our chart and playlisted by Radio 2. It came on the radio in the warehouse and a colleague shazamed the song, as soon as he saw 'Eurovision' on the single artwork, he was no longer interested. I follow the contest in the same way I follow the World Cup, I listen to the entries as they are selected and stick some money on those that I feel are 'under the radar' with the bookmakers. I can honestly say that this year in particular, there's a large majority of songs that I would class better both musically and lyrically than what you'll find in our mainstream charts. [/QUOTE]
