Englebert Humperdinck for Eurovision!

[sublime]

Good old Englebert, eh? At 75, he's only going to be Eurovision's oldest ever entrant.

It's certainly one way to make the UK act stand out from all those teenage Barbie and Ken types that usually grace our screens.

[I'm secretly hoping for a bit of Dad Dancing in his act, too.] :happy:

Always had a lot of respect for Enge as a very nice man. He does a lot for charity, especially at the Leicester hospital where I used to work. :up:

Love Enge! He was one of my mum's heart throbs and I grew up listening to him ~ I'll be cheering him on!

My mum's fav. Seems he is very big in the Eastern Block so hey the UK might have a chance this year.

 

[Marzy]

Looking forward to this.

Hell,he can't do any worse than the UK's recent entries,can he?

BTW We've got Jedward again :doh:

Well, there goes my reason for liviiiiiiing...........

Ahem.

Englebert is certainly cheesy enough for the competition. I'm sure he'll do a sterling job.

And look! He's 'freshened' up and is all ready to go. Bless.

I love the idea in theory, but I think the "irony" will be lost in translation and we'll do as bad as ever! Hope I'm wrong btw!

Engelbert has a battle on his hands in this year's Eurovision song contest - he will be up against six grannies who are to represent Russia.

Is Ireland's plan to have Jedward represent them every year until the rest of Europe gets so fed up it makes them the winners? :mysmilie_61:
