Personally I wanted Malta to win, because it was the only song aside from maybe dubstep Dracula that I'd put on my iPod.
As for our pitiful effort in the UK, I don't know why no one has bothered to look at our history and see that almost all our victories are with catchy pop songs, not pompous ballads. The winner is almost always something marketable, either in clubs, charts or TV, and the UK have done nothing that ticks any of those boxes for years.
I think they should start making whoever wins X Factor every year automatically enter Eurovision the next; god knows their careers don't go anywhere most of the time, anyway.
Failing that, we should just send Rylan every year, he is practically custom-made for Eurovision.
