British MPs to tackle UK crisis — why it does so badly in Eurovision

Lawmakers in the United Kingdom, the country that gifted the world The Beatles and S Club 7, will seek answers on how to make the nation’s pop music more competitive on Europe’s biggest stage. The House of Commons’ Digital, Culture, Media and Sport committee will hold an evidence session in the coming months to discuss the process to select the U.K.’s Eurovision Song Contest entry, its chair, Dame Caroline Dinenage, told the BBC . MPs will examine what Dinenage called a “dismal record of achievement in recent years.” At this year’s Eurovision in Vienna, ‘ Eins, Zwei, Drei ,’ a synth-pop song from the British YouTuber ‘Look Mum No Computer,’ finished in last place with just one point.
