Simon Webbe is upset about nobody being interested in 'I Can'

Blue's Simon Webbe has banged on a bit about what he perceives to be a lack of interest in the band's Eurovision single, 'I Can'.

Talking to the Daily Mirror, the 'Ride The Storm' chart­botherer expressed anger at the fact that the single has only been played 22 times in three months. “We’re trying to do this for our country and our country isn’t backing us," he said.

The single has so far not been playl­is­ted by Radio 2 — the UK's Eurovision station.

A BBC spokes­per­son countered that the station "has played the song across the schedule where edit­or­i­ally appro­pri­ate" and though not on the playlist at the moment, it "may be con­sidered, on merit, in due course”.

That 'on merit' bit has got to be bad news for old Webbo, hasn't it.
