They say they have an image problem. This is an example of why that is so.

And this display of idiotism should solve it? We have ministers showing up in episodes of Big Brother. Who regularly participate in idiotic game shows. Must they really start to sing now? and how stupid do they assume the people to be?
Singing EU ministers. Maybe doing stepdance in the charts, too? Moderate the good-night-channel for the 4 year old? And they demand to be taken serious from politicians, gangsters and dicatators in rivalling countries, and nations that are much poorer in scruples to use violence and force? "Here comes the singing EU supermen, let's better behave or else we are in troble?"
Who knows, they even may be right. In Mars Attacks!, the Martians finally were killed and defeated by ill-tasted music. And yes, there was singing in it, too. So let's sing our problems and sorrows away, and fill the hearts of people with joy and happiness.
