Oh I just read up
Good, I'm happy he gave it to Ann Sophie because if it was hi they would of been doing a Finland

[Black Dagger]

She's just as ****e. They couldn't have done worse than that mess they sent last year tbh.

[Braden]

Take your ****ing Bojana and shove it

:joker: :love:

I should really listen to the songs we have so far. I've listened to bits of Lativa's entry and really like the song/her :flutter:

They haven't qualified in a long time either.

[Black Dagger]

Yeah Latvia is my favourite so far. If they don't make the final I wouldn't be shocked if they withdrew for a couple of years. It's a really quality entry!

[T*]

Latvia is okay imo, one of the good ones this year

[Denver]

She's just as ****e. They couldn't have done worse than that mess they sent last year tbh.

I heard Ann Sophie was part of the girl group last year

[Black Dagger]

Ah I don't remember much of germany last year apart from being sad for Madeline Juno because she was my most played Eurovision song of the season outside of Conchita and the Linnets.

[T*]

She's just as ****e. They couldn't have done worse than that mess they sent last year tbh.

So a country that's half the world away from Europe and hasn't even picked its song yet now has a better chance of winning than we do. :umm2:

All things wrong with this years esc entry
s6r1tUhl1cQhttps://33.media.tumblr.com/avatar_a4eb37d1f107_128.png

The beginning and all the 'electro' bits are mediocre and sound like robot farts
The male looks like a sex predator
The dancing even isnt good
The violins can die, I usually love violins but they just destroyed the sound completely
The male voice sounds like something from an advert, in fact it sounds like the one of the soreen advert
Its basically jemini again
they make me want to self harm
the theme is disgusting
kill yourselves

[Black Dagger]

IM NOT ****ING UPDATING THE SONGS FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON GO AWAY

it's a hot mess and I love it for standing out over all this dull patheticness. But what a lost cause.

[T*]

dont even get me started on the DOBEBEBPAOAo bit
i cringed

[T*]

can we not start a petition or something

[Niamh.]

I actually like that :laugh:

[Black Dagger]

I actually like that :laugh:

Yeah on second listen I've fallen a bit in love with how catchy it is. The UK won't be happy unless Adele does it though.

i still hate it
its vile
the male voice is terrible and dull
it may be catchy but so was france's entry last year... and what happened to them?

Im a big fan

[Niamh.]

Yeah on second listen I've fallen a bit in love with how catchy it is. The UK won't be happy unless Adele does it though.

I love that whole style and era, makes me want to dance :laugh: Our song has grown on me a bit too, I was just too disappointed that Kat never got through to like it at first

This year Italy has the best entry. :love:

BBC: HURRDURR 1920S ELECTRO SWING ACT CATCHY!!!! DURRR

[Black Dagger]

Right cool you don't like it.

[Braden]

The BBC haven't taken Eurovision seriously for years :joker:

We almost reprieved last year with Molly, but they sent her along with a ****ty song which she didn't really perform well with on the night.

[Black Dagger]

A man who normally performs as a Mick Jagger tribute act will compete for the UK at May's Eurovision Song Contest.

Alex Larke, 35, from Hertfordshire, who performs with the Rolling Clones, is teaming up with Bianca Nicholas, who is 26 and from Kent, as Electro Velvet.

Their song, Still in Love With You, is an up-tempo electric swing track.

Last year Molly Smitten-Downes came 17th for the UK with Children of the Universe. This year's contest is in Vienna on 23 May.

The UK has only placed in the top 10 once since Jemini's infamous "nul points" in 2003, when Jade Ewan was fifth in 2009 with the Andrew Lloyd Webber written song It's My Time.

The last time it won was in 1997 when it was represented by Katrina and the Waves with Love Shine a Light.
Voice contestant

Bianca Nicholas, of Beckenham, was a contestant on BBC's The Voice in 2013, although none of the judges swivelled their chair round in support of her performance, meaning she did not progress any further than the initial heats.

She released a single in 2011 - Hold on to Your Dreams - which sold enough copies to enter the top 100 singles chart.

She has the serious genetic condition cystic fibrosis, which affects the lungs, and has previously spoken about how singing has improved her breathing and lung function.
Electro Velvet Electro Velvet is Bianca Nicholas and Alex Larke

Due to her affiliation with the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, she has sung in front of Royal Family members at charity galas.

Larke, from Welwyn Garden City, has performed around the world with his Rolling Stones tribute act, and splits his time between performing and teaching in a primary school.

Larke said: "I feel incredibly privileged and humbled to be representing the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, for this massively historic 60th anniversary event.

"We have a fantastic song and will work as hard as is humanly possible to bring the contest home and make our great nation proud. It's time to get this party started! See you in Vienna!"

The song Electro Velvet will be performing was written by David Mindel and Adrian Bax White and chosen through an open selection process which saw hundreds of entries from both professional and amateur songwriters.

Didn't know she had cystic fibrosis but still won't stop them from finishing last~

[MB.]

Why doesn't it surprise me that one of them's a primary school teacher?

[Headie]

Right cool you don't like it.

I said once that I enjoyed it but dont expect much after 2nd listen. If this year wasn't such a borefest I might have done 20 bullet points on it myself on how it's a mess.

The BBC take Eurovision very serious hence why they have organised a massive Eurovision concert next month for the aniversery

[Braden]

I meant in terms of the acts they send to represent us.

BBC know that Eurovision has a cult-like following, and it has (imo) been a legendary event for the past 60 years so they're obviously going to commemorate it.

[GypsyGoth]

I think the song is pleasant, kinda a big risk though.

[zakman440]

Apparently the guy who wrote our song also co-wrote the Jim'll Fix It theme :worry:

Oh, and the Birds Eye Waffles ad which sounds very similar.

Do you love it Trumpet. It's from your era.

Am I the only one who heard the UK entry and thought it sounded like this:
?v=UJNxqXQKjfY

[Braden]

I've just listened to Estonia's entry, and for some reason it reminds me of the Heartbeat theme tune :joker:

I really quite like it though.

[Daniel-X]

UK's Eurovision acts have been piss poor since Jade Ewen back in 2009. My friends parents every year without fail have a huge Eurovision party every year though so I'll still be going even though I doubt I'll be backing the UK.

[Mystic Mock]

The UK has got a **** entry this year, only potentially beaten by Finland, France, and Hungary.

Molly was a lot better for us last year, it's just a shame really that she choked on the night of a really good Eurovision.

[Brother Leon]

Terrible song. My support goes to Spain for obvious Reasons.

[Mystic Mock]

De Gea is god isn't he Brother Leon?

At least we can always be in the final no matter what.

We need to do something fantastic, being average just won't do. Europe expect so much from the UK and tbf we never really deliver. The UK have some of the worlds most successful artists but when it comes to Eurovision nobody wants to take part.. I don't blame them tbh.

To win we need a song that extremely stands out but yet is creating trends in the music industry.

Ireland's entry is really good this year but tbh i feel like Europe argue the same point when it comes to Ireland, they say you just don't take it seriously anymore. I mean Dustin the Turkey was an absolute joke to say the least. Dustin for you was like Scooch and Jemini for the UK, europe feel like we are just taking the piss

Dustin is a national treasure I'll have you know :nono: Personally i think our problem the last few years is we've been trying to copy the previous years winner which is pretty stupid. I don't mind our entry this year but it wasn't even my favourite of our finalists so that's not a good sign :laugh:

[Loukas]

National treasures just don't work for Eurovision. Basil Brush and Orville are national treasures to the UK but if they represented us at Eurovision it would be a joke :laugh: Dustin may be a national treasure but it came across as a joke to Europe

Sweden favorite to win, Australia on 4th place, Finland on 5th place, while UK is at 11th.

I recon the the Top 5 will be -

1. Sweden
2. Latvia
3. Slovenia
4. Italy
5. Australia

[Braden]

The Swedish entry is pretty good but I'm pissed at him having a past with anti-gay comments:

I hate the UK entry! Absolute shyte! The Oz entry has no chance of winning either, if it does it will only be to piss off the rest of Europe. lol The winner this year for me is Russia.

If the UK couldn't get into the top 10 last year then we certainly won't with this mess this year.

[Mystic Mock]

Ireland's got a nice entry this year, but it will get lost in the crowd I feel.

The running orders from both semi's are out

Semi Final 1

Semi Final 2

The UK will be voting in Semi Final 2! Which in my opinion is the better semi :spin:

[Loukas]

I have a feeling the UK are going to do better then most of us think, i guess it doesn't matter that much if the British public like it or not. It is the rest of Europe (and Australia) that are voting anyway!

Most of the feedback has been quite good tbf.

I think it's good that a large majority had low expectations when it first came out, because we could unexpectedly do really well.

Unlike Molly last year where most people had high expectations then got a pretty crap placement.

Also, Israel's song has been in my head the past couple of days. I really hope it gets through the semi's <3

Nigella Lawson will be reading out the UK's Eurovision Song Contest 2015 voting results

Nigella Lawson is representing the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest, but not in the way you're thinking.

The 55-year-old will deliver the voting results live from London on Saturday (May 23).
She confirmed her role in no fewer than three languages, responding to a fan in English, French and German.

Asked if the rumours were true, she wrote: "Yes, it's true. Oui, c'est vrai. Ja, das ist wahr."

Electro Velvet are heading to Austria to represent the UK. It was recently announced that they will wear specially-designed LED costumes for their performance of 'Still in Love with You'.

Still haven´t watched any of the entrants. Decided to leave it for the actual showing nights and judge them then.

Dreading of our entry. And at this point i´m pretty certain that it will go to the live shows, but on there it will get slaughtered. (Based on what i have read)

They are also airing all the shows live on eurovision.tv

Neither is Australia and yet they´re in the contest and can vote for entrants/even win it.

Logical next step is to involve New Zealand, USA, Canada, Japan, India, Middle Eastern countries and African countries step by step/little by little. And then eventually rebrand/rename it and call it World Vision or Global Vision. Or Tellus Vision.

Yeah, but if you allow Canada, you will have to allow the States...

and they would win every time :nono:

Thats not a guarentee its a possibilty depending on how Europe take Australia

[Black Dagger]

Australia will be top 3.

[BBfanUSA]

I wonder if that will work in Canada :think:

regardless, I found a link for BBC3 and BBC1 that does so I should be able to watch... if I can get my appointments for the day done on time :fc:

I live in the states, I think it works for everyone regardless of country.

Australia will be top 3.

Guy Sebastian is amazing. He won the first season of Australian Idol. He better be.

[Jamesy]

I'm sure there's some deep meaning to the staging although they look like a bunch of hipsters trying to be cool and 'different' with the moves and all :laugh:

[Braden]

I think the stage/special effects are a little off-putting to how much of a good song this is :(
