Be grateful you're not the UK or Germany and know that youre pretty much guaranteed to be near the bottom no matter what song you send. Thankfully the UK doesnt need the eurovision to get global musical recognition...unlike most of these other countries. Even though its always just some one hit wonder with no credibility or longevity.

UK doesnt even take Eurovision seriously. They know that they make great music and dont need this recognization. I think they are just a honorary member and give other countries space to show what they can do. Imagine if they really went in, noone would have a chance.
Russia is in very hard position, the bias is very clear (in both ways - pro and anti, so it kind of outweights), but they keep submitting solid songs.
Ukraine, similarly like Austria with Conchita won only thanks to controversy and politics.
I'm not even joking.
His performance gave me life tho I'll admit
