We gave the world the Beatles so why are we bad @ Eurovision

The song was called That Sounds Good To Me but it didn't to the Eurovision judges.

Our once proud musical nation became the laughing stock over the weekend when the UK`S entry for the Eurovision Song Contest came last.

The Competition was easily won by fresh faced German chanteuse Lena Meyer-Landrut,19, with her song Satellite, which has already been a hit single in Germany, Austria Switzerland.

Despite doing so badly, Britain's entrant Josh Dubovie remained upbeat describing it as "one of the best experiences of his life".

The Beatles came from a hippy culture that was derived from India, so no you did not give the world Beatles, they just happen to be British.

Hardly! :lol:

You've heard of the 'Mersey Beat' have you?

They may have been influenced by Indian music in their later years but they hardly 'came from there' musically...

"Jude" is German for "Jew".
