Eurovision Song Contest - did it show Pete Waterman and Mike Stock to be 20 years out of date?

Was the song written for the UK by Pete Waterman and Mike Stock (Stock Aitken Waterman) typical of the rubbish they wrote and produced around 20 years ago ? It seemed to have exactly the same beat and feel of stuff they did in the late 80's





If so, why did UK not get a song writer with a contemporary style instead of these old dinosaurs ?





Why not get someone with some song writing credibility like Bono (listen to something like 'sometimes you can't make it on your own') or Duffy (listen to 'Rockferry')|||someone compared it to rick astley





it wasn't that bad, everything else was just much better





lord infamous 鈾?penguins f.c., lol... yes :)|||The UK needs to have proper critically acclaimed writers writing its Eurovision songs, and Waterman and Stock do not fit that description, and wouldn't have done 20 years ago. We also need to stop asking the public to vote for a song for Eurovision. The public should not be trusted to get such important decisions right. You give the public a vote, and people like Boris Johnson end up with important jobs.





If the UK wants to enter soppy ballads (which have a realistic chance of winning Eurovision) then they need writers like Andrew Lloyd Webber. If they want to enter modern pop songs (which also have a realistic chance of winning) they need modern successful writers like Max Martin. It is very rare that anything other than those succeed in Eurovision, acts like Lordi are a one-off.





I agree with the p.Rick Astley comparison.|||It was almost as bad as the one with the 4 air hostesses several years ago
