According to reports, Andrew Lloyd Webber is to get involved with the selection of a UK song for next year's Eurovision.
It sounds to me like they're going to make the song selection programme a bit more like 'X-Factor'. The Sun quote one of these 'insiders' as saying: "Millions of Brits watch the Eurovision but always leave disappointed that we've done so badly. So next year we're going all out. Graham [Norton] has been drafted in to host and Lord Andrew will give his important input, possibly as part of a panel or as a mentor. There is likely to be a public voting element to it as well. Next year really could be the year Britain comes out on top".
Why that should make Britain come out top I don't know. The previously reported news that Eurovision bosses will reintroduce juries into the voting process next year in an effort to compensate for any political bias in the public vote is more likely to have an effect I reckon.
