We’re only 20 years past Justin Bieber’s debut and the advice to upload covers to YouTube is already outdated. Celine Dion got famous at Eurovision 20 years before that.
That’s like defending sending cassette demos to radio stations lol
Dutch entry is chosen by a committee and they tend to score much higher as the UK (at least the last decade or so). So maybe just switching to a different committee would be enough. But i’m all in favour of national contests, sounds awesome.
Isn’t it because the UK entry is chosen by committee? Have a national contest where the winner is chosen by popular vote. Problem solved, no?
No, it’s because any UK act decent enough already has access to much better publicity than the ESC.
Lame excuse. Australia doesn’t
Eh… ESC is how Celine Dion got famous. Obviously doesn’t happen every year, but clearly it is seen as a possible launch vehicle for careers.
