Oh dear! It's not even teatime on the day of the MYMU announcement, and it looks like we're one down already. Sadly, it was my favourite too, based on the 30 second clips. Euro-anoraks and music detectives have discovered that Antony Costa's song, 'Beautiful Thing', has been available, as a download at least, by a singer called Michelle Lawson since 2004. It's even been performed on telly, apparently. This breaks the Eurovision rule, where the definition of 'new' is that the song must not have been commercially available before last October.

These things are supposed to be checked beforehand. Were the writers hoping to keep it quiet?

So bye bye Antony, it was nice almost knowing you. And bang go our chances of us picking up a few votes from Greece and Cyprus because of his family background too. Damn.

I think we'll have to support Kym Marsh now...
