Daz: Automatic Article
The big question on everyone lips right now is, of course, exactly how annoying Pete is going to get over the next 13 weeks - we're backing Imogen by the way. Mainly because she's very pretty and we're very shallow, but we do have deeper reasons than that: She's got a lovely Welsh accent too - but for those of you who aren't entirely focused on Big Brother, you may well be wondering whether Daz Sampson has any chance of winning Eurovision tomorrow. We've torn ourselves away from the live coverage just long enough to ponder this ourselves, and here's what we've come up with:-

- The songs ace! This has got to put him in good stead. It's catchy and, as we've pointed out before, naggingly familiar in a isn't-he-ripping-off-the-chorus-from-somewhere kinda way. We've nearly worked out what song it reminds us of, unfortunately the only lyrics we know run "Na-na-na. Na-na-na-na-na-na-na. Na-na-na. Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na." and Google is proving to be remarkable unhelpful with only that to go on. Never mind though, it's vague familiarity should help it on its way to victory. However...
- ...it's a rap song. And hip-hop is not a genre that's exactly set the Eurovision world alight in the past. Remember Love City Groove? No, of course you don't. Mind you, they didn't have as good a tune as Daz. Or...
- ...schoolgirl dancers. Which is one of those ideas that doesn't sound quite as pervy on paper as it does in it's execution. Still, it's likely to provide an attractive counterpoint to the fact that...
- ...Daz is a balding man in his thirties and, if we remember our biblical stories - and we don't, frankly - Sampson only retained his strength while his locks were long and flowing, not while his slightly odd shaped head was visible and the only thing more distracting than his all-over denim combo. Of course, he may not exactly possess what we believe are known as 'leading man looks', but at least he's not...
- ...Dressed up in a troll mask. Actually, we're not sure if that's a pro or a con. We think the Finns might be in with a chance.
