I understand that his family are not happy with Pete Waterman at all. Apparently Mike Stock wrote the song rather than Waterman. The family are angry that Waterman did nothing to promote the song once Josh had been chosen, and now apparently Waterman has ditched Josh altogether and has had no contact with Josh or his family since the contest. All quite sad really.
I saw an interview where pete waterman said something along the lines of i know we're going to do badly (whilst next to josh) but he also said i've not heard anything better.
TBH pete waterman is a rubbish choice of writer he's so 80s we live in the 21st century now!! Long past the days of puppet on a string and locomotion!!
Yes, Marko. All pics made by me. :-) Never been to Meteora though, but still on my list. But been to Rila monastery.
Yes Tohoshinki a lot!
One of my wishes is to see Popocatepetl in Mexico!

Are those pics from your flickr really taken by you!?
They are so professional and AMAZING!
You are really into islam culture and mosques! WOW great pics!
I have nice pics from Bulgaria (last weekend) , i have been to Belogradchik rocks and they are AMAZING, reminds me of Meteora in Greece, you have probably been to Meteora already!And finaly I have pics in nice weather from Vitosha mountain (2290 peak), I wanna climb 2900+ m (Rila mountain - the highest in Balkans), Olymp in Greece is close but it's still dangerous for me, I have to practice more!

@oxi allo karvuno
Now be prepared for a long reply by 'Alyson Wunderland'!
Our entry was so bad this year that i just lost all hope and became half Belgian and half Ukrainian for one night. One positive that i can take is that the last place was expected and therefore wasn't a terrible shock when the voting came along.
And i'd bet that those 7 televoting points for the UK all came from Ireland. I think the Albanian, Azerbaijani and Georgian points were all as a result of the juries doing.
Oh well, there's always next year...
Stock,Aitken & Waterman are just a disgrace for the art of music.
I'll never forgive myself for listening to their music back in the 80's ...LOL
Good luck with your future career Josh.
what can i say he has a good voice but the song deserved final place...i wich him all luck!
bad for him he has a nice voice and i like him but that song was just awful and dated i'd like to see him participate again and redeem himself with a better song
he did his best at eurovision.
Good For Josh 
Best of Luck to him in his future Career he is very talented!
Josh has a good voice for sure, but 'That Sounds Good To Me' was a terrible song! 
Pity that he didn't sang a much better song! :/
aww poor Josh even when he was being interviewed on BBC3 you could see in his eyes he knew he didn't stand a chance. to be made to feel that you have failed the UK is a lot of pressure for anyone and besides he isn't to blame Pete Waterman and Mike whatever his name is are to blame for giving him such a rubbish song!!
Togravus
Of course he will have one.. he is a charming guy with a nice voice, just he needs good composers. My reaction went more on the bar. Hoped that they had a great evening.
Felt sorry for Germany the other day in VM- they really did well this year!
I loved his song! It was my number 2 on the night
