The Revelations - "It's You"
An eighties style Eurovsion song, similar to our entry "Love Games" in 1984. Good hand movements, but again, not sure it's catchy enough to impress the voters across Europe on the big night.
LoveShy - "Mr. Gorgeous"
Catchy, but not sure about this one. I know it's only the first one, but I have my doubts. That bit where they opened the shirts towards the end is an imitation of Bucks Fizz removing the skirts in 1981.
Rob McVeigh - "I Owe It All To You"
A good ballad, but it's quite tame, and could be the weakling in the song line-up. It takes something lively and catchy to win Eurovision.
Simona Armstrong - "Changes"
Below par, about the only word to have stuck in my mind there is "changes". Again, will this be catchy enough to stand out above other countries' songs? I don't think so.
To be honest, I'm not impressed with any of the four sung so far. I hope the remaining two will be better.

Tumble, you don't need to give a running commentary here, we've set up a chatroom for that.

I don't think we have a chance this year!

Well in summary the reason we never make the right decision is because the songs put forward are crap. None of this lot will beat the turkey, though Michelle Gayle is the best of a bad bunch.
The head to heads though were a bit pointless considering it only eliminated 2 songs out of 6. It's about time the "judges" realised too that the emphasis on finding a "Eurovision song" hasn't worked in the last decade, so just let the public judge the song - and who knows, sending a good song (if we were offered one) is surely worth the chance.
Most annoying though is the treating viewers like idiots in relation to the phone lines. The full screen lecture about your vote not being counted but possibly being charged before they'd even given out the numbers was very insulting.

And whose fault is that?
Well it's not the viewers.
Typical - hated this bloke ever since the X Factor and it's the one the judges didn't put through initially.

Why are our contestants so eager and happy to win? Surely representing the UK in Eurovision is career suicide.
