This year? Surely not again...?
I am a terrible person.
This week, the six shortlisted acts for the UK ticket to this year's Eurovision in Belgrade (unless the event winds up being moved somewhere more politically stable before May 24) were announced, and it includes Southport's own Aimee Kearsley as one half of electro-pop duo LoveShy.
However, much as I like the song Mr Gorgeous (a surprisingly contemporary contender for the BBC final, which tends to be crammed with very dated pop) I have to be honest and admit that my vote in the girl band category of Eurovision: Your Decision on March 1 will be going to vocal harmony trio The Revelations, with the groovy Motown pastiche It's You.
I know, I'm terrible. I should be tied to the end of Southport Pier so the seagulls can peck at my malfunctioning ears.
There are six contenders in all, but these are the only two songs known so far. Michelle Gayle and Andy Abraham might have something rather fab tucked up their sleeves, you never know (I'm still not too sure about the Joseph and the Maria).
Want to judge for yourself? You can hear the songs on the group's MySpace pages:

Feel free to disagree.
