alw.jpgOh, why not? It’s not like anyone has a scrap of credibility left anymore. Webber’s possibly going to be chief judge on an X Factor-style panel to select the next Eurovision entry. His old friend Graham Norton will be hosting, so it might be fun! Who knows? Who knows.

Meanwhile, there’s a voting overhaul for the actual show to stop everyone voting for their neighbouring countries and hating on England all the damn time.


The overhaul is well-timed, and it certainly can’t make things worse… this year’s representative for the UK was former X Factor runner up Andy Abrahams — and he came joint last.

The contest has descended past a silly bit of fun and into the realms of gigantic Britain-hating bitch-fest in recent years, with Eastern European countries voting for each other and Russia and leaving us high and dry.

Eurovision bosses announced last night that this year countries won’t have all the voting power – a jury will award points and the public will have a vote, too. Will it make a blind bit of difference? Time will tell.
