Eurovision Blues

With respect, Monty Python's Eurovision was another time another place.
Although, yes, there is the occasional wildcard along those lines.
France's entry can only be excused because it's also their World Cup anthem. And then only with a little generosity. And yes, they did better than us.

UT - ringers are a common factor in Eurovision.
We've done it too (Katrina and the Waves).
Cyprus tried it this year with a Welsh chap, but he was obviously tainted by the UK fail-magnet and they didn't finish much above us
