I used to really enjoy it, but the UK entries are just so shit (and deliberately so).

It's so obvious what makes a winning song: Katrina and the Waves' Love Shine a Light was just a classic, classic example. I believe it's still the most successful win ever (in terms of the margin it won by).

Yet year after year we pump out dross. I don't think people realise that Eurovision requires two things: (1) cheese, (2) good cheese
