The British band Blue, who will represent the United Kingdom in the Eurovision music competition, is expected to politics aside and to talk about the contest only by the songs and "taken a long time." Team members presented this week the song I Can, with a primary desire, namely that the British never again hear the rhyme has been the norm in recent editions: "United Kingdom, zero points; Royaume-Uni, zéro point.
" We like to say that Eurovision is not a matter políticaEl band member Simon Webbe was confident in regaining the crown to the music of his country, where the event is experienced as an entertainment 'kitsch', in which the most interesting is to listen the sharp comments of the narrators of the BBC on the songs, the choreography or the costumes of the artists.
"We like to say that Eurovision is not a political issue that has to do with music. And what music does is a large audience of people from different musical genres," said Webb, who claimed the playful element of competition. "People just want to have fun tonight and hope that politics does not get involved", said the singer, referring to the obvious vote-trading that has occurred in recent years, especially among the countries of Eastern Europe.
Teammate Ryan Lee hoped that benefits them the new voting system, in which scores are calculated taking into account equally the preferences of viewers and those of the professional jury in each country. I Can is a very pop song, very catchy rhythm and lyrics, which Ryan described as "powerful and very strong, and perfect for Eurovision." The group hopes that the event, with a potential audience of 125 million people, to relaunch his career.
