Maybe that's why 'name' artists don't get involved any more?

At least I'm not... quite.... as ashamed about this year's entry as last year's monstrosity. ottocazzi: yeah, I don’t think I’ve ever been “proud” of anything in Eurovision apart from Terry Wogan taking the piss with his voiceovers…

I love this song. I wonder why countries aren't sending "well-known" or proven artists like Sebastien Tellier more often? Link to the Tellier video.
