At least he knows how to sing a song properly & it seems we've all heard of him.
Up-and-coming young singers? No better than 5th position in 10 years & without Googling, I'd challenge that you'd struggle to say what most of the recent entrants are up to now.
Englebert beautiful voice. sell out concerts worldwide, why would he want to put himself through Eurovision. All political voting, Ireland putting Jedward on again, obviously don't want to win.
I know he has millions of fans, but I really think this is stupid. God help us all if he sings one of those awful sloppy ballads. Should say he was popular in my time, but I was never a fan. Cant bear to think of that awful last dance and release me songs. Just my opinion.
