Oh dear.....just heard our song...IMO it's not the best and it doesn't stand a hope in hell of winning......the following is pasted from media site(s)....
Simon Webbe said (via BBC): "We don't see this as career suicide even if a lot of people will see it that way. It's a great way to show we are a live group and we are back after 10 years."
Duncan James said: "We felt quite privileged to be asked. How many opportunities do you get to represent your country?"
The song is called 'I Can,' and features the potentially embarrassing line "I've never lost anything quite like this."
The boys will perform it in public for the first time on 'The Graham Norton Show' on Friday night (11 March), as part of the preparations for the event itself, which takes place on 14 May in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Blue are hoping to be the first UK act to win since Katrina And The Waves conquered all in 1997.
Blue will be competing with Jedward at Eurovision, as the Grimes twins are representing Ireland.
The UK came last in 2003, 2008 and 2010.
James said: "People always say the UK aren't particularly liked in Europe and we don't get the points, but they're trying to change the block voting so it becomes less political."
Lee Ryan disagrees, arguing that the reason for the UK's poor performance is much simpler: "It's nothing to do with being English. It's because we haven't put a good song in for a long time."
IMO this song is not a 'Euro-type' song and will only accelerate the UK's decline into Eurovision obscurity....
....however Iron Chris has been our Eurovision forum expert for the last 6 years, so I could be totally wrong.....
