No 'nonsense' from Webber


In an interview for the UK TV listing magazine, Radio Times, Andrew Lloyd Webber, composer of the UK Eurovision entry for 2009, has made it clear that his song will not be a 'silly nonsense song'. Asked if this means there will be no boom-bang-a-bangs, the Lord said, 'Sadly no'.

This comes as welcome news here at Eurovision Express. Don't get us wrong - we love traditional uptempo Eurovision songs as much as the next fan, but Scooch's disastrous result in 2007 clearly shows that it's time for the UK to enter something of quality.

The UK begins its quest to restore its Eurovision pride on 3 January with Your Country Needs You. We're looking forward to seeing just what ALW has got up his sleeve.
