Jetro Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 What do you think? I really like Eurovision Song Contest. I am also very aware that many people find the music there absolutely atrocious. Being an open Eurovision fan, I've heard tons of critisism. But really. It would have been so amazing if Muse were to participate. For the United Kingdom! Since they are very well known in Europe, they would score lots of extra attention beforehand. Then, they would write a killer-3-minute long tune, and would have rocked Europe with it, winning the contest, and become known to every child, father and grandfather who watches Eurovision but have no clue about Muse. Muse also loves a good scene show, and that's an area Eurovision is really good at. I sometimes imagine they playing United States of Eurasia, and that they recieve a bunch of 12 points. (The rules would have to be changed slightly because one cannot perform on instruments in Eurovision, and we know how Muse reacts to that.)

LyraSilvertongue Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Is this a joke? Yes, Muse should appear on Eurovision if they want to kill their career stone dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze015 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Doesn't Eurovision work by a committee in each country picking a bunch of songs and getting the public to vote for their favourite? Sandie Shaw absolutely hated Puppet On A String when she won it. It would only add fuel to the Muse = Radiohead thing as Radiohead was only prepared to do Eurovision to promote Kid A.

Not when every other year has been a bad year We did make an effort for a while but whatever the quality of the song, the votes are always politically motivated, at least in part, so why bother? I haven't watched it for the last few years so I don't know what's been happening anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nohopeinfear Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 It's a political cluster fuck. No fucking way would I want Muse to go anywhere near it just so they can get "Nil Pois" Seriously, in the current light of international relations, even the BEST band in the entire UK would struggle not to be in the bottom 5 and that's just a fact.

I'd say 2009 is an example that this isn't true. Otherwise, like this year, they've sent cringeworthy acts well worthy of bottom 5. Shame there's no decent footage of Terry Wogan commentating on Eurovision, would get some idea how it's seen in the UK, as he used to get drunk and rip into everyone There are lots of them on Youtube! He is well-known for all of us who's a bit into Eurovision. It's so cozy when he introduces Bucks Fizz in 1981. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
