This is like getting blood from the proverbial stone
Eurovision – Your Country Needs You!
Coming soon BBC ONE
To win the Eurovision Song Contest, you need a classic simple pop song with universal appeal. Who better to turn to than Pete Waterman? Programme Information's Tony Matthews talks to him about his plans to make the UK No. 1 once again.
Simple and easy are not the same thing, as anyone who has ever tried writing a No. 1 song will doubtless have discovered.
"It's hard enough writing a hit song in the first place, let alone a Eurovision winner," says Pete Waterman who, with more than 200 hits to his name, including 22 No. 1s, has come as close as anyone to mastering the art. "You need to come up with something simple and catchy, people think it's easy but it's not." That's why the BBC has turned to the legendary pop writer to compose the UK's entry for the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest.

That's just a silly idea.
I reckon Pete Waterman ought to enlist Charlie Higson 
That's just a silly idea.

That's just a silly idea.
How astute of you to have noticed
-- ^ it's ideally suited for EV then! Well, no sillier than ripping Cheryl Baker's and Jay Aston's skirts off

Malta have picked their selection for this year.
TIP: Never watch the full Malta Eurosong contest. It has 20 songs in it, everything is done on a low low budget and there is probably the same number of songs as an interval act.

All of Maltese TV is done on a very low low budget! Its wall to wall live TV with Presenters nattering to other guests and people off the street!
Glad to see they picked my favourite song!
