This is an overview of the performance of the UnitedKingdom in the EurovisionSongContest since they first took part in 1957, the competition's second year.
It should be noted that while the EurovisionSongContest is taken quite seriously in some European countries, it is seen a more of a joke in the UnitedKingdom, mainly due to the alleged "political/regional voting patterns".
In 1999 the rules changed and the UnitedKingdom (along with France, Germany and Spain) are automatically allowed to participate irrespective of their recent scores because they are the highest-paying European Broadcasting Union subscribers.
After a brief trip to the heady heights of fourth place in 1985, the UK slumps back to the safe region of 6th or 7th place (see 1982, 1983 and 1984) in 1986.
The song "Runner In The Night" by Ryder fails to wow judges and it only received 72 points overall.
Gina G Gina G is of course best known to Eurovision fans as the UnitedKingdom representative in 1996 with Ooh Aah Just A Little Bit which came eighth in the contest, but was a number one hit in the UnitedKingdom, and a big chart hit throughout Europe.
The song titles and composers are expected to be revealed towards the end of next week, and the songs will be heard on a variety of programmes on British television over the coming weeks, as well as on the BBC website.
Last years song, as songs go, was well written, performed and produced, the problem was its the sort of song that will never win again.
Nicki French, UnitedKingdom’sEurovisionSongContest2000 participant, came to Cyprus this weekend as a guest star at the second semifinal of Cyprus’ “A song for Europe”, which was held on Sunday, February 12.
Performing live her Eurovision entry “Don’t play that song again” and a dancing version of “Total eclipse of the heart”, Nicki impressed the audience and the viewers with her energy, her sparkle and her undoubting dynamism.
I think the UnitedKingdom was very unpopular at that time, as it is now, and the song could have been quite usual for the contest.

Trivia: During the first song, the Spanish entry, one of the sound technicians forgot to turn on the prerecorded sounds used in the song so the performance had to restart after the mistake was discovered.
