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.

Couldn’t have put it better myself !!

Excellent !
He’s one of my favourite celebrity people in the whole world !!

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.

Perfect post !!

He’s had such a traumatic life …

Two amazing documentaries about his life and troubles thus far ..

We need a Rock Song
with a Live Rock Band:



The Drummer needs 2 Bass Drums.


A Lead Guitarist gets a 1 min Cool Solo

The Keyboard player gets a 1 min
solo on a Modified Mini Moog


The Lead Singer
also starts a cool Acoustic Guitar Intro

And a conga player on 4 Congas
Starts playing as the Acoustic Guitar Intro has gone for 25seconds


That's a Winner

Any idea what the song would actually sound like though?.. having a rock band does not make a winner.. there’s been plenty rock bands on it over the last few years and most haven’t won

I think we stand a fairly decent chance with him. Europe loved Sam Ryder and I think they will like Olly Alexander even more

Thank you Zizu.

Yes, he has you are correct.
I just love how he appears to be the warm and genuine guy he clearly is.

Definitely, he'll give his all to Eurovision and I really hope he does extremely well.

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
Nearly two years ago now and that was his only album since 2018?

All the more commendable that he scored another number one with it.
It was only last year.

He's done extensive international touring in live performances and the UK too.

He is an acclaimed actor too.

His success both with his former group and now solo, plus his other projects he does, acting and songwriting to name 2.
Cannot really be fairly denied.

Admittedly, there'll be those who simply don't like him of course, that's fair enough.however he plans his projects with care and the releases of his music too.
Which have all proved and still do, to be highly successful.
So well done to him I say and good luck in Eurovision.

An album every 3 years is about average these days .. are you also suggesting that Coldplay are an irrelevance ?

He’s done acting and collaborated with Pet Shop Boys , Jax Jones , Kylie and Elton John over the last couple of years

Well clearly he is held in high esteem by many on here so I will bow to your greater knowledge and I hope you are right that he'll do well

I thought Mae Muller would do well so what do I know

I mean as a super fan who has had to endure some of the worst entries known to man and for us to be getting a double 0 less than 5 years ago to even have a credible, commercial artist representing us is wild and exciting for me. What’s even more fantastic is not having to endure 6 months of rumours.
