    No, it’s because any UK act decent enough already has access to much better publicity than the ESC.

      Eh… ESC is how Celine Dion got famous. Obviously doesn’t happen every year, but clearly it is seen as a possible launch vehicle for careers.

        We’re only 20 years past Justin Bieber’s debut and the advice to upload covers to YouTube is already outdated. Celine Dion got famous at Eurovision 20 years before that.

        That’s like defending sending cassette demos to radio stations lol
