One suggestion I heard on the radio today was to run it in a kind of masked singer kind of way, have the acts disguised and not reveal which country they are from so you are voting blind.
An even better suggestion was to axe it!

So surprised its not on Channel 5 Sandwiched between endless back to back repeats of "Cant Pay..."
As I understood it, the BBC now choose the song. We (the public) used to choose from a number of possibilities. However, we can still have the best song - but won't win thanks to the politically biassed judging.
I am so surprised that they haven't gone down the route of getting the viewers to phone in with their vote - that would then reap in huge financial rewards for broadcasters.

Yes surprised they haven't cashed in with that idea. We all know that the public wouldn't mirror the vote countries end up giving.

The family does watch this so I will be seeing some of it, yes not as good/funny as it once was, no Hungarian nose flutes anymore and no Terry Wogan.
The UK may do better this year, is the rumour anyway.
There was a rather good Polish entry a few years back, milk maids I recall ..............!

I thought the milk jugs were particularly interesting.
