Justin Hawkins is entering Eurovision

With Morrissey announcing that he will not enter the Eurovision songrwriting contest, a new bright spot has appeared. Justin Hawkins, former lead singer of The Darkness will be vying for the opportunity to be the UK's choice in the contest.
Hawkins is attempting to start a solo career, after leaving The Darkness to go into rehab. Admit it, as cheesy as The Darkness may seem on the surface, they kicked ass. They were a satire of a genre, yet possessed some serious chops.
If Justin can come up with anything half as catchy as "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" or "Get Your Hands Off of My Woman" (recently covered by Ben Folds), he is a shoo-in.

No Moz for Eurovision

Rumors were swirling a few weeks back that Morrissey would be the British contestant in the annual Eurovision contest. For us non-europeans, Eurovision is an annual songwriting competition in which each country enters an act to perform. The contestants are usually really cheesy, bubble gum crap. If Morrissey were to enter, it would've been pretty damn cool.
Unfortunately, he is not. The main reason for his change of heart being that he didn't want to be part of some lame-ass reality show in which Britain's choice would be determined.
