General Chat

Apparently the thought is that he has been chosen because he has a huge fan base not only here but all over Europe. I didn't realise until I read about him how well known he is.

I know Suzanne - do it myself every day :-D

OH can you imagine it,
Engelbert bounding onto the stage like a 20yr old,false teeth flying out and sliding along the floor while hes singing PLEASE RELEASE ME ,LET ME GO. :-D :-D :-D

Haven't read all this thread, but it could've been worse imo . . . . .

Cliff or Tom, yuk yuk yuk :-P

I think Englewotnot is old enough to be my son :-(

cant stand the bloke, or tom jones..........both allegedly fled the country to the US to avoid our taxes.

dorsey admitted at the time that he took the name " Englebert Humperdink" as a gimmik


the name of a real composer and musician!!

Bob


mind you, he CAN sing so I guess that theyve tried all the young hopefuls and got nowhere so one of the old farts cant do any worse??

even i only just remember him to he honest x

:-D Joy.

Do you know when I broke the good news of Eng at work early this morning only two people had heard of him (we have a wide age range where I work ) and thought I was telling fiblets :-D

The jedwards were Irelands entry last year or the year before I think.

Teresa

CLIFF bork

he is even old enough to my dad

Florence go sit on the stool..

poor Cliff prancing about..........well on second thoughts you sumed him up in one.......a Muppet ........ :-D :-D,you are let off...


I dont watch it anyway nor ever have done...

Stray, he's probably on the very long begg.....sorry, casting, list but turned it down.

i dont watch it, last time i watched it, was up in sunderland at my friends and we got "nil poi" lol


oh but id love to see chubby brown sing for us, hahaha

I think they have difficulty getting anyone to represent the UK.
No disrespect to Engie but flying a 75 year old in from the USA???
Was Katie Price in the running one year? :-0

could be be far far worse...a duet


Cliff an Engle,,,,,,,perish the thought,

75 !!! ye gods, his voice must wobbling like an old worn out cello,

Wasnt one of my favourites, but he cant do any worse than the last few representatives we have sent.

Yes, take a bow! Well done.

Must admit that if I ever hear it now, it gives me a shiver :-(

Douze points pour moi though ;-)

Bingo.

Poor little chap was mortified when I told him the circumstances. Don't think he's sung it since!

Moors murderers?????

Mum used to be a fan of old Humpo, I have memories of his crooning shattering the peace of a Sunday afternoon.... :-)

A little inside story about Joe Mcelderberry.

His xmas album contained a rendition of Little Drummer Boy. I was at a venue where he was performing and was speaking to him afterwards just after xmas. I asked him (and the compere David Kid Jensen) if they knew what famous criminal trial that song had featured in.

Does anyone else know....?

:-) :-)

Does anyone actually watch it? Or more to the point, will anyone admit to watching it? It makes big brother look like advanced university challenge.

You could have chubby brown and joe mcelderberry doing a duet of o sole mio for all the good it will do. Its a foregone conclusion - greece will get the sympathy vote and israel will come last cos they will have bombed iran.

:-D :-D :-D
