Andrew Lloyd Webber for Eurovision
Posted Mon 20 Oct 2008 1:25PM BST by Mitch Carter in The Guestlist
Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber is set to compose Britain's entry for 
the Eurovision Song Contest 2009. The composer will write a song for the winner of Your Country Needs You, a BBC television program in which musicians compete for an audience vote.
After a string of disappointing entries into the competition many have called for an experienced hand to break Britain's run of poor scores. Previous Eurovision losers have included X-Factor's Andy Abraham who finished joint last in 2008 and Jemini's entry Cry Baby which famously received "null points".
"In my life I've never shied away from the impossible and this looks like the biggest mission impossible of all time," said Lloyd Webber in a statement on Saturday.
Controversy was rife at last year's Eurovision final with seasoned presenter Terry Wogan complaining about the political nature of the voting.
Can Sir Andrew win it for Britain or has the political voting got out of hand? Have your say below.

It was just a complete farce from start to finish.
His music is loved all over the world so it should get points.
Let's hope britain can pick a voice to suit the song.
If anyone can do it,he can!!
Good Luck Andrew ,may you be Inspired!!
