Much as I love him, I think he'd come unstuck. He's not wacky enough for the Lordi vote, but he's also not naff enough for the 'boom bang wicky wacky bam' Eurovision style. Unless he pulls some Johnny Logan weepie out of the bag, i think he'd only do well in a few countries.

Maybe not. But just imagine 'The Queen is Dead' blasting out across the whole of Europe. Although I'm sure they'd have to come up with some new material. Anyway, just the Mozza on Eurovision would be fantastic even if he doesn't come in the top ten.

"How come the country that is THE best at pop music in the world (i.e. us) keeps on sending shit like this to the Eurovision? 7) We should send Morrissey." - Swells

Still, always next year to look forward to.

Come on everybody!

"Asylum seeker in Fubus
He's ghastly and he's vile
Oh drape me in a union jack
While the skinheads shout Sieg Heil."

Well, he's always been a big fan of Sandie Shaw. Maybe it's always been a secret ambition of his.

If he does a cover of "Puppet on a String" barefoot, he deserves a landslide victory

At least if he is doing a eurovision song the odds of me actully having to hear it are very very low.

that is basicly turning a frown upside down though.

I have to strongly disagree. Boz Boorer is not Johnny Marr and never will be. Too fat for a start.

i've just read the BBC article - the quote that they atribute to him ("I was horrified but not surprised to see the UK fail," he said. "Why didn't they ask me?") i now remember were his actual words at his wembley gig in december

I think there should be a play-off between Morrissey and Leo Sayer. Whoever wins gets to represent us.
