Okay so he's a washed up no mark whose band peaked years ago and has done nothing for ages?

Yeah pretty standard, we'll be bottom 5 again

[joeysteele]

He's great.
I like Olly.

His album , Nightcall, last year made number one in the charts.

He was absolutely brilliant in It's A Sin, a really emotional and hard hitting series.

I hope he will do well.
He's a good songwriter and performer.

Good choice in my view.
He could be very popular across Europe.

He’s not washed up at all, literally had a number one album last year, anyway..
It’s good to see someone who’s actually well known give it a crack, never thought that would happen again. I’m guessing he’s had some success all around Europe? I would assume so

[_Tom_]

Great choice

Good to see someone current and successful having a go.

I remember he was randomly a rumoured forerunner to play The Doctor a while back

He might shine yet tbf and become king of Eurovision.

[Nicky91]

…Olly is a total sweetheart …..so he’ll get lots of support, which is a great beginning…and the song itself is being/has been co-written with Danny L Harle, who has worked with some excellent artists …Dua Lipa and Charli XCX, so hopefully the song will be excellent also…he’s not the strongest live singer, but then I’ve only seen him singing live with other artists, not solo and the song will have been written to match his voice…good luck, Olly… those points are coming home, they’re coming……

I agree wholeheartedly with you Ammi

I think he has immense charisma in positive and good ways.

He on the BBC 2 years ago was the one who had the show seeing the year out and new year in.
He had Kylie and the Pet Shop Boys on it too.
It was really good.

His album Nightcall, has great songs on it.
Sweet Talker is a great song in my view.

I understand he has had success across Europe, I really hope he does well.
I think he's one of the most likeable people in show business.

Plus his acting and portrayal of Ritchie in Its A Sin, was in my view an Oscar worthy portrayal had it been a film.

He just comes across to me as someone who wherever he was, he'd light the atmosphere and room up once he walked in.
Really good luck to him.

Oh, and I think he'd have been an excellent Doctor Who as well.
It was kind of teased in Its A Sin but didn't come about sadly in my view.

To be fair
the support is needed in the Euro Nations
who hate Ginger Gays.

Please Note
It is fine to be Ginger Haired

It is also fine to be Gay.

[Nicky91]

we have many artists already so

and many bringing their A-Game for Malmo


UK with this big name act yes


Belgium who have a star of Drag Race Belgique Mustii (whose sound is very Hozier alike dark pop)

Greece going ethno again with big name star Marina Satti (likely a song in greek too, greek rosalia more like)

Netherlands with a song in dutch (confirmed yes but not sure yet if it also includes smth like Frisian dialect) in big name Joost Klein who scored hits in Switzerland, Belgium, Germany and currently his song Friesenjung recharted again in Ukraine and he already confirmed he's coming to the London Party


Czechia going with Aiko (half czech half russian) with her olivia rodrigo style entry Pedestal


Slovenia bringing big name operatic star Raiven in the own slovene language with an entry titled ''Veronika''

Who WOULD likely win for us in your view?
At least he'll throw himself fully into doing his very best for the UK.
That's for sure

Maybe he won't win, however who knows.
I just hope he does really well.

We can do, Sam Ryder demonstrated that.

[Nicky91]

i don't think our Joost Klein will win, as juries might attempt to destroy our chances

but we'll deffo bring the party to Malmo, with the Fryslan flavours


Joost teased his entry like ''as dutch as it can be, very modern but also with a nostalgic touch'' and the selection committee said about his entry ''potential to be a hit in the charts''

…of course, but having a strong support from the UK public, which I think he will…is a huge factor as well, Arista…as you know, support/encouragement etc and feeling the belief of people is a fundamental also of helping to be the best you can be…
