Louis Walsh says BBC should AXE Eurovision You Decide - and get Simon Cowell involved
Louis Walsh says the BBC needs to axe the Eurovision competition it uses to choose the UK entry if they ever want to win it again.
Louis, 66, said: “The UK can win Eurovision again for sure yes, but it needs to be a group like Bucks Fizz or an old pop style song. They need a great writer. A lot of the great songwriters are afraid to put their songs in because the competition doesn't have any credibility where we are. Whereas in Eastern Europe they look at it as a serious TV show.
Asked how he really felt UK entry Michael Rice would get on, Louis added: “I think he is gonna do OK. He is not going to win. I saw him on Graham Norton last week and he seemed a nice guy and it seemed to mean a lot to him.
