Engelbert Humperdinck for Eurovision!

[Johnnytheboy]

Apparently Engelbert Humperdinck (aged 76) has been chosen to represent the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest.

Is this a good thing or a WTF thing?

[DocJock]

More of a WGAF thing surely?

Arnold Dorsey. Was he that easy to forget?

That'll teach those Eurotypes to give us null points, this should get our own back on 'em! - hope Engelbert goes on in pubsinger crooning mode..

[Wacky Racer]

Great idea. Engelebert is a fabulous singer.

Might as well try something different, although with the usual "political" voting he won't stand a chance.

One more reason for me to get out of Azerbaijan for the month of May

Can't wait to hear the Azerbaijani presenters attempts at pronunciation.

[Baryonyx]

Who cares?

[Funkateer]

He's a purveyor of top quality easy listening for these more enlightened times.

Its a F***ing Joke,all the young british talent we have,and they go back to a 75 year old.Might has well have used Cliff Richard.

Usually wouldn't be bothered, but Englebert is from Leicester, so that'll do for me. Surely if we really want to give everyone else a real struggle cuddling, we'd just get Led Zep or The Who to blow them away (not that either of them would do something like Eurovision, FFS Ireland have entered Jedward, again!)

It is a joke and we may as well take the p*ss out of the daft competition.

So, Cliff's turn next year. Wheel out Des O'Connor in 2014. Status Quo in 2015, and on and on....

I think Norway should put someone like Dimmu Borgir up.

Well I've never forgiven him for keeping Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane off No.1 in 1967. Git.
