The Saturdays on Eurovision: Your Country Needs You!!

The UK (after disasters year after year in Eurovision) has decided to do a talent show in the vein of Idol or the X-Factor to make sure the country has its say about who ends up going to Eurovision. This has disaster written all over it...especially with the group of Karaoke amateurs dug up by the producers. Don't worry there will be more on this later and many laughs to go along with the info. The program's only redeeming factor (other than being hosted by the very funny Graham Norton) is that it featured a performance by The Saturdays! They performed "Up" for some reason instead of their current release issues...but I'm not complaining since it is in my top 10 favorite songs of all time list! The performance was pretty much SPECTACULAR! It actually featured dancers and the girls dancing a bit more than is customary for other UK girl bands. I'd say with this performance they are pretty much ready to being cracking America. Enjoy the performance and the mini interview with Una and Frankie below!

ahm, look now, Mr. BJ, they did some sort of heat in 2005, which gave us the legendary Javine--"Touch My Fire (Can you Feel the Heat?)"

but yea, since then their entries have been pretty shit. it's nice to see that they're bouncing back with the reintroduction of jury/text mixed voting though.
