How excellent is Bill Bailey<\/a>?<\/p>\n

For those of you saying\/thinking, “Actually, not very,” go and get a brick to hit yourself over the head with, or even better a compass… then watch this clip. It’s his love song<\/a>… a slice of brilliance.<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

Clearly a genius. Sensible now?<\/p>\n

Right, Bill Bailey has announced he’s going to enter next year’s Eurovision Song Contest<\/a>. He’s a wonderful musician<\/a> and it might just work. Although I do worry that he’ll ruin his reputation but he’ll produce something magnificent I’m sure.<\/p>\n

The citation below links to the full entry on his blog but:<\/p>\n

What the public wants, the public gets. And it seems that the question on the lips of the nation at the moment is: “Will Bill be entering Eurovision?”<\/p>\n

Well thanks to the demand created by online groups, Bill has decided to put himself forward for the next contest<\/a>. And being the man of the people that he is, he’s going to let you choose his entry and will be working on some new songs which you will have the opportunity to vote for.<\/p>\n

So if you’d like to see Bill step onto the Eurovision stage to the accompaniment of Terry Wogan<\/a>‘s wry commentary, and deliver a great UK<\/a> entry for once, then keep watching the website<\/a> for your opportunity to vote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
