Yes indeed, my wife said earlier tonight that if we'd only send someone like Maire Brennan (forgive spelling) or Bellowhead, we might finally stand half a chance; that we spend too much time trying to imitate other people's music instead of drawing on our own culture the way the other entrants do.
And it is hard to explain, isn't it, why such crappy songs and often ludicrous acts get so far in front of the genuinely good stuff, but that's Eurovision!
