Did anyone else read the list of UK contenders? It's made up mainly by failed contestants from reality TV talent shows. The six acts competing to represent the UK at this year's Eurovision Song Contest have been revealed.
Former EastEnders actress Michelle Gayle and X Factor star Andy Abraham will sing for the chance to perform in Belgrade on May 24.
Reality stars Rob McVeigh, who appeared on Any Dream Will Do, and Simona Armstrong, a finalist on How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?, will also compete on Eurovision - Your Decision, the BBC's two-part Eurovision Trial.
The lineup is completed by a pair of girl groups, The Revelations and LoveShy.
Eurovision - Your Decision, presented by Terry Wogan and Claudia Winkleman, will air on BBC One in March.
Only the four most popular acts from the first programme will progress to the second, with the winner being selected by public vote.

I love Rob! He's a talented guy and a fantastic performer. Brilliant live. He took loads of stick for being a builder that people didn't see on TV but he just smiled and took it on his chin.
GO ROB! ;D

We got 14 as far as I know, and because they did it alphabetically if more then one country had the same score, we came last. Although technically, it was joint last with 2 other countries.

Usual load of poo! Great for a laugh though. ;D
Quote of the evening from Sir Tel: Over enthusiastic screechy presenters - 'let's have a paaaartay!!!' Sir Tel - 'I wouldn't go to this party even if I was on my death-bed'
Best bit: French entry singing in English!
Worst bit: Having to explain politcal neighbour voting to the girls who thought it was a real competition!
Best song: ?
Worst song: All of them!
Strangest presenter: Swedish points announcer (wtf)
Roll on next year *yawns* . . . .

Was the Swedish one called Bjorn or something like that? I think I actually saw that one. He was very weird.
