[T*]

I'll get the national final dates up shortly

[Headie]

When is the UK one being chosen? Are they still doing a live final for the public to choose?

[Black Dagger]

Oh good. I was far too lazy to post all the songs as they came in this year. I forgot how much of a chore it is.

[T*]

When is the UK one being chosen? Are they still doing a live final for the public to choose?


They are still doing a national iirc but the BBC being the BBC, they haven't released much/any news on it :rolleyes:

[T*]

Oh good. I was far too lazy to post all the songs as they came in this year. I forgot how much of a chore it is.


I hope you don't mind :love:

[Black Dagger]

Oh no! I was tempted to do it again when the semi finals were announced but I don't mind <3

[T*]

Oh no! I was tempted to do it again when the semi finals were announced but I don't mind <3


thank you :lovedup:

[JoshBB]

I'll clue you on on some news since I've found a sudden obsession for Eurovision over the past two months.

Here are 7 songs the BBC have rejected: http://wiwibloggs.com/2015/12/30/rejected-7-songs-that-didnt-make-the-united-kingdoms-shortlist/113134/ (World Support Ukraine was good imo, but clearly not allowed because of the overtly political lyrics)

Also an SNP member of parliament has submitted an entry: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/snps-pete-wishart-fronts-band-7091786

[Shaun]

god i forgot how much i love petra

[Jay28jay2]

Eileen Daly should represent the UK ;)

[Black Dagger]

N5Pbnb7Y6AU

Ireland the second country to reveal their song. Belgium will be known on Sunday.

[EspeonBB]

snooze

[Shaun]

I've had more exciting bowel movements

[T*]

Ireland can bloody go shove themselves, unleashing their song when they please :hmph:

[T*]

The music video and the lyrics jumping at me is trying so hard to make me excited for it and like it but the song is just trash
http://gifsec.com/wp-content/uploads/GIF/2014/08/oprah-stare-gif.gif?gs=a

[T*]

Also it's sort of reminded me of Hilary Duff- Come Clean and idk why because that song is actually good

[T*]

OP updated

[JoshBB]

I quite like Ireland tbh.. it's really catchy after a few listens :love:

[Niamh.]

Our song is horrible

[JoshBB]

http://www.escunited.com/home/united-kingdom-eurovision-you-decide-26th-of-february/

UK National Final: 26th February - Held in the o2 Forum Kentish Town, and will be hosted by Mel Giedroyc. 90 minutes show. The six songs will be premiered on BBC Radio 2 on the 22nd of January.

The BBC will also broadcast the Eurovision Song Contest in Stockholm this year on BBC4 (ew)..

[Firewire]

wtf the final is on bbc4? a mess

[Pete.]

Screaming at BBC4

[EspeonBB]

I think the semi-finals are on BBC4. There's no way they'd put the final on BBC4 when it always rates well :joker:

[JoshBB]

I think the semi-finals are on BBC4. There's no way they'd put the final on BBC4 when it always rates well :joker:

I think the final stays on BBC1



Cassian Harrison, Editor, BBC Four, says: “I’m delighted that Eurovision: You Decide and both of the Semi Finals are coming to the channel this year. BBC Four is the home of music on TV in the UK, and as any fan will tell you, Eurovision is one of the biggest music events on the planet and is much more than just one night of TV, therefore it is only right that BBC Four is able to showcase Europe's favourite music TV event right here in the UK."

[zakman440]

An odd decision to put the national final and the semis on BBC Four to say the least (they'd be much better on BBC Two as that gets more viewers) but hey - at least we get to decide again. Now let's just hope we don't get another Electro Velvet in the final...

[MB.]

I think the semi-finals are on BBC4. There's no way they'd put the final on BBC4 when it always rates well :joker:

They usually have the semis on BBC Three but that'll have closed by the time they're on - although a few years ago they had a full series on Saturday nights on BBC One to pick who'd represent us (Jade Ewen) so one show on BBC4 is a bit eh

[Headie]

So are the entries revealed tomorrow?

[T*]

Why have i missed this all

[T*]

They really recycled the Eurovision greatest hits logo

[T*]

The final is still on One according to wiki

[Headie]

So are the entries revealed tomorrow?

Mess I forgot they are revealed and Feb 22nd not Jan 22nd

[Calderyon]

Finnish National Final will be on 27th February 2016.

Norway, same date.

[Black Dagger]

Belgium exist, Tom you are slacking!!

[T*]

Branding to be revealed on Monday

[Headie]

3 ex-Voice UK contestants have formed a 'supergroup' and have just released their first song, which coincidentally is under 3 minutes, so there's rumours going round that they could be one of the 6 finalists for the National Final next month.

SEOVGeksGyE

They're called The Northenettes btw.

[Braden]

I liked Georgia and Sophie on The Voice, but I don't really remember Katie. Was she the one who sang True Colours back in the first series?

I quite like the song but I doubt it would do well at Eurovision.

[Braden]

alol at the slogan being 'come together'.

[Headie]

This was Katie from Series 2:

[Headie]

The beat sounds like Sax at the start so I'm here for it :clap1:

Apologies for being so slow! Will keep on top of this more, sorry!

MELODIFESTIVALEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNN SF1 is tonight.
I. Am. Excited.

[Headie]

Details about the UK selection show:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/proginfo/2016/08/eurovision-you-decide

Ahead of the 61st Eurovision Song Contest taking place in Sweden this May, six competing acts will take to the stage to battle for the honour of representing the United Kingdom at the world’s largest singing competition.
Broadcast live from the O2 Forum Kentish Town, London and hosted by Mel Giedroyc, this 90-minute UK Eurovision extravaganza will feature performances by the six competing acts before the voting lines open and the public are invited to choose the song and act that will represent the United Kingdom at this year’s contest in Sweden.

Current contest champion and Eurovision 2016 co-host Måns Zelmerlöw will also appear, to sing his winning song from last year’s contest, Heroes, plus former United Kingdom Eurovision Song Contest entry Katrina will also perform with the winning song from the 1997 competition, Love Shine A Light.

The six competing acts that will perform on the night will be exclusively revealed on the Ken Bruce show on BBC Radio 2 on Monday 22 February.

liking this song even though it's a bit avicii

[T*]

oh it's over

[Mystic Mock]

Has a Rock or Indie song been picked by any of the countries yet?

[Black Dagger]

Pretty sure that the Cyprus entry are a rock band. But they haven't presented their song yet

[Josiah.]

Melodifestivalen 2016 has the 2nd semi-final this week. Semi-Final 1 happened on Saturday, where 2 songs (Don't Worry by Ace Wilder and Constellation Prize by Robin Bengtsson) made it to the grand final whilst 2 others (Bada nakna by Samir & Viktor and Rik by Albin & Mattias) made it to the Second Chance round on 5 March. One song, "Himmel för två (Heaven for two)" had been disqualified on the 4th because it had been performed at the 2014 Moldovan National Selection Auditions round, however Anna Book (the woman performing the song) did perform it as an interval act.

Out of all 27 songs, my favourite songs are "Don't Worry" by Ace Wilder, "Faller" by Krista Siegfrids (Finland's representative in Eurovision 2013), and "Youniverse" by Molly Sandén (Sweden's representative in Junior Eurovision 2006). I really want Ace to make it to Eurovision this year, as she is the only one out of these 3 to have not participated in a Eurovision event (main contest or Junior Eurovision) ever.

Previews for the Melodifestivalen Semi Final 2 acts were released today - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtjAn2p1vvgj9vSnpm4N_6A

My personal favourites from this were Wiktoria, and also Krista Siegfrids (who participated for Finland in 2013)

[T*]

I thought Krista was hosting Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu Finland?

[Denver]

I hope Oscar Zia represents Sweden as its a song about his coming out

[T*]

It better be a good song

[Black Dagger]

Oh not here for that fag

[T*]

Omg remember when Krista was on BBBOTS

[T*]

Oh not here for that fag


:clap1:

[Black Dagger]

Omg yes that was so random lmao

[Black Dagger]

The Austrian national final read out one of my tweets that was a bit negative while the contestant was on the stage :joker:

[Headie]

Not your dragging going international
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CbCepuYWAAAnkHP.png

[Black Dagger]

They haven't bloody read any tweets about the rest. They've made me out to be a right monster. I can't find her on Twitter either to say sorry.

[Babayaro.]

to be fair, you are a bit of a c u n t on Twitter

[Black Dagger]

Did I ask for your opinion? No. Choke on a dick.

[Babayaro.]

someone is a tad stressed

[MB.]

:joker:

[MB.]

(that was me laughing at the overall situation, not encouraging Marc)

[Babayaro.]

For a minute there I thought you were laughing at something I said. Oh what a moment that would've been

[Black Dagger]

I'm perfectly fine and enjoying my evening thank you hun x

[MB.]

Don't push it love

[Babayaro.]

why hasn't eurovision got its own sub-forum section thingy

[Black Dagger]

Because I have to push it getting discussed bar the semi finals and finals.

Who really gives a **** about wasting 2 hours watching Austria pick an artist bar me?

[Ross.]

omg has Lucas been recognised on the international stage

He's going to leave us for better things now </3

[T*]

Who really gives a **** about wasting 2 hours watching Austria pick an artist bar me?


um

[Black Dagger]

ARE YOU WATCHING? YOU TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT MELFEST LAST WEEKEND AND THAT'S FAR BIGGER x

[Black Dagger]

omg has Lucas been recognised on the international stage

He's going to leave us for better things now </3

I already have my bags packed tbh. Cya x

[T*]

ARE YOU WATCHING? YOU TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT MELFEST LAST WEEKEND AND THAT'S FAR BIGGER x


I was in Starbucks so I missed a lot of it :(
and I am not letting myself miss Melfest this weekend
Espesh now I'm on half term I can relax and watch rather than working and then going ****

[T*]

Bit freaked out with Italy's decision, I heard her song Battito di Ciglia when I was in Florence and got hooked
This is the second time I've stumbled onto a random European artist be it irl or on YouTube and they've been selected for Eurovision

[Black Dagger]

Hope she goes with her Sanremo choice. It's sensational.

Oh, Switzerland and Austria picked over the weekend as well, so they need updating :laugh:

[T*]

Those bloody Swiss/Austrians :fist:

[Black Dagger]

Georgia: Young Georgian Lolitaz - Midnight Gold
rpAHfm-2Smc

Switzerland: Rykka - Last Of Our Kind

Austria: ZOE - Loin d'ici

[EspeonBB]

I love the Austrian song :lovedup:

Denmark also chose a (bad) song too:
O_N8IDw3lcU

[Black Dagger]

Yeah, they went for middle of the road boyband again, last year worked so well :bored:

Anja was brilliant.

Bosnia will be the next to reveal their song on Friday and I'm expecting a hot mess.

[Black Dagger]

And yeah I quite like the Austrian song. It wasn't my choice though. My rankings so far..


Italy (if it's the Sanremo entry)
Switzerland
Spain
Malta
Austria
Georgia
Belarus
Albania
Belgium
Ireland
Denmark

[T*]

And now, a sim guides you through the new stage.
Jtmp-9DIJ5M

[Denver]

I'm not sure if its been mentioned but the 6 acts who are taking part in Eurovision: You Decide! Will be announced on the Ken Bruce show on radio 2 on the 22nd of Feb before Fridays event

[Denver]

http://www.digitalspy.com/music/eurovision/news/a783907/eurovision-song-contest-announces-huge-shake-up-to-traditional-voting-system/

The voting has had a major shake up.

[Denver]

Under the new voting the UK would have finished bottom last year and bottom 5 the year before however Blue would have finished 8th and Jade 4th

[Crimson Dynamo]

our songs over the last decade have been tragic in everyway

[Black Dagger]

Don't you ****ing dare come for Scooch.

[Nicky91]

rooting for Austria, Denmark, Belgium and Malta



Denmark has got the new Take That :cheer2:


Austria, wow what a nice happy song in french

[T*]

Maybe we have a chance with the new voting!!

[T*]

Wait so the new voting is melodifestivalen styled?

[Black Dagger]

Depends what we send tbh. King Alex and Queen Bianca would have been last if this voting was done last year </3.

But I don't really like the idea of it anyway, and I hate the spokesperson only telling us their 12 points. What is the point of having one.

[Nicky91]

Wait so the new voting is melodifestivalen styled?

yeah, no longer the 50/50 voting over juries and televoters


but now 100% Juries points, and 100% televoters points

so they both give 1 to 7, and 8,10 and 12 points

[Jarrod]

I like the new voting system. We might actually stand a chance at a decent rank this year.

[Denver]

I really don't trust the public to make the right choice

[T*]

Hopefully if this all goes tits up for us it'll put a rocket up BBC's arse

[Crimson Dynamo]

Don't you ****ing dare come for Scooch.

my ears are still recovering

[Black Dagger]

my ears are still recovering

Oh go and suck on something for landing!!!

[Crimson Dynamo]

Oh go and suck on something for landing!!!

tbf the brunette had great corks and she would deffo get it

so would the other one

:clap1:

[Denver]

This was apparently turned down?

I love this song it pays homage to the UK's Eurovision past and would have been a great song but probably not a winner.

hA6ScO9RUc0

[Black Dagger]

Meh. Not keen.

I hope this isn't the standard for the actual 6. We will know in 4 days I guess.

[Denver]

Wouldn't surprise me to see a act like Jedward as one of the 6

[Denver]

Also Jess Wright has quit Towie and said we would see her soon I thought it was meant by CBB or IAC but she has been rumoured for Eurovision :suspect:

[Denver]

Armenia have decided update it Thomas :fist:

[joeysteele]

Our song is horrible

You need Jedward back,:wavey:
Lipstick was robbed that year.

[Black Dagger]

Armenia have decided update it Thomas :fist:

The song isn't out yet.

[Black Dagger]

But a song that is... is Bosnia and Herzegovina xo
QBxMnUXUZiI

[Denver]

The song isn't out yet.

The song called LoveWave though :fist:

[Black Dagger]

Yes, but he isn't updating just artists/songs otherwise he's missing about 10!!

When is the UK one being chosen? Are they still doing a live final for the public to choose?

Heared the BBC are choosing it on the 24th but I am unsure if they will release it

[Denver]

So they are not all performing in our national final?

[Denver]

Heared the BBC are choosing it on the 24th but I am unsure if they will release it

No the national final is next Friday the public decide this year

[Denver]

Delta Goodrem is rumoured to be the Aussie representative

[Jay28jay2]

No the national final is next Friday the public decide this year

Should be interesting... First time this has happened for me, this is my 3rd eurovision so I hope the decision is good. After what happened to that group who got nil points I wouldnt be so certain to give the british public a decision

[Mystic Mock]

I'd rather a Hip-Hop Group over Engelbert Humperdick and Bonnie Tyler.

[T*]

They'd flop

[T*]

Hard.

[T*]

Unless it's like
Misteeq

[Nicky91]

I'm Team Ira Losco for Malta


she can sing anything, and she was runner-up back in 2002 for Malta with the song 7th Wonder

[Headie]

Apparently this guy is one of the 6 UK finalists:

[Denver]

We know the public will choose him :facepalm:

[Black Dagger]

When the other 5 aren't even known and we haven't even had a glimpse of his song. ok

[Denver]

You can tell he is the type of act they will love another Andy Abraham

This is on BBC 4 to combat exactly these type of voters dear

Edit: I'm a moron

yeah, i'm rooting for Malta this year, finally i can vote for Malta after last year when they didn't make the final, only just falling out 11th in the 2th semi final, where i couldn't vote, it was my favourite last year with Amber's Warrior

[Samm]

Iceland

Mp6gYJE3oLE

I use

[T*]

Iceland, Spain and Italy are my favourites however Spain needs to axe one of the backing singers because she's dragging Barei down

[Crimson Dynamo]

The six hopefuls weren’t supposed to be announced until Monday morning on Ken Bruce’s Radio 2 show, when their songs are played for the first time. Clearly Pateman got a little carried away with all of the excitement.
After the announcement on Monday, the UK act will then be chosen on Friday February 26 during Eurovision: You Decide, which will be broadcast live.

Iceland's first good entry since 2010 :clap2:

last year wasn't bad either, the girl was only a little nervous



who will represent Croatia do you think?

[T*]

Iceland is always amazing tbh

[T*]

Updates

[Denver]

Iceland and Malta are always great they are also the 2 most successful countries to have never won so it's time they was recognised

[Headie]

Idk whether to wait til Friday to hear all the songs or just listen to them tomorrow when they're revealed. I have a feeling the Friday selection show is gonna be really boring.

[MichaelTheYoutubeGamer]

im hopeing we pick a good song

[Denver]

Idk whether to wait til Friday to hear all the songs or just listen to them tomorrow when they're revealed. I have a feeling the Friday selection show is gonna be really boring.

I think only the artists are revealed tomorrow.?

[Black Dagger]

Nope. Songs as well. On the Eurovision website and R2.

[Denver]

Oh i read only artists i hope their are a couple of good songs in their :worry:

[Black Dagger]

Justs made the final of Latvia. He got 30% in an 8-way as well. He's so off to Stockholm :clap1:

[T*]

Ukraine have chosen I think!

[Black Dagger]

They have. It's dirge.

[T*]

I like how chilled it is actually

[T*]

[Ross.]

But most importantly when is the actual final of the whole shebang

It seems to be missing from Tom's OP

Lucas would never

[Denver]

Tom is giving me Olly and Caroline teas hosting this thread

[Nicky91]

listening to radio 2, now revealing the 6 songs


first one

Joe & Jake - You're not Alone

[Nicky91]

the moment when you think a old rose royce song is for eurovision :hehe:

:joker: :joker:


awkward :facepalm:

[Denver]

Joe and Jake sound cheesy as dog **** tbh I actually hate groups who name themselves like that

[Denver]

Actually it's Joe Woolford and I ****ing love him

[Denver]

#2 Bianca - Shine A Little Light

[Nicky91]

Joe and Jake sound cheesy as dog **** tbh I actually hate groups who name themselves like that

but now the song from Bianca sounds good, Shine a little light on me

[Denver]

So far I'm impressed with the BBC

[Denver]

Bianca's song is co-written by the wonderful Leona Lewis

[T*]

Oh my god I missed it

[Nicky91]

Third song is by Dulcima with the song When You Go


so far i'm also impressed by the BBC :)

[Denver]

#3 Dulcima - When You Go

[T*]

I'm not impressed but Biancas is quite lovely

We're not going anywhere with any of those 3, however...

I guess a poppy energetic song like the likes of Say Yay by Spain or something like Icelands entry is going to be too much to ask for

[T*]

Stage presence is also going to be a problem with any of these 3 (except bianca maybe) for the fact that they're dull looking and Jake and Joe look like they don't even want to be there

[Crimson Dynamo]

just not another "molly"

:facepalm:

please

[T*]

just not another "molly"



:facepalm:



please


It's honestly looking that way with these 3-however I did like Molly but except maybe Bianca these guys are just strumming their guitars slowly and singing extremely easy to reach notes, it's all very very dull

[T*]

Jesus Christ is it 1996

[T*]

It's alright
I mean
It sounds SO outdated though

[T*]

Actually I quite like it
Even though it sounds a bit
I don't know
U2-ey??

[Denver]

I hope Mathew doesn't win

[T*]

I don't think it'd do well though :unsure:

[T*]

What the **** does it bring to the table?!

[T*]

How does it attribute anything
This is all quite messy

[Denver]

Bianca is the best bet but I like all of the first 3

[Denver]

This one is the one I love it

[Nicky91]

Bianca's song for me as well so far

[T*]

THIS IS GOOD

[T*]

She can sing!!!

[Denver]

Can we cancel the live final and just send Darlene please

[T*]

Oh my god I'm so ****ing happy

[T*]

For the love of god vote for them

[Nicky91]

now 2 songs for me

Darline's song makes me so happy :dance: :dance: :cheer2:



but Matthew's song, way too outdated and dull :facepalm:


and Joe and Jake's song way too cringey and cheesy for me

[T*]

I'm so damn pleased

[Nicky91]

For the love of god vote for them

yeah, i can't vote from the Netherlands of course


so on Friday i'll sit and relax during the show



also a performance from Katrina & The Waves :)

[T*]

[Nicky91]

[T*]

Spanish people are attacking me

[Nicky91]

Spanish people are attacking me

lol, what did you write? :laugh: :joker:

[Denver]

Can the public get it right :worry:

[T*]

lol, what did you write? :laugh: :joker:


That we had a chance because of Darline :laugh2:
The Barei fans are pressed!!
I literally just launched my Eurovision fan page on Twitter too :laugh2:

[Nicky91]

Can the public get it right :worry:

best choices so far are Bianca or Darline



but thankfully only the public decides, and not the experts who gave us Electro Velvet :joker:

[Nicky91]

6th UK song Karl - Miracle

[Denver]

I'm not sure on this :think:

[Nicky91]

I'm not sure on this :think:

i think it's Karl Michael from The Voice UK? not sure :think:

[T*]

Song 6 was meh

[T*]

Yaaaaas darline though omg

[Black Dagger]

Darline, Karl or Bianca. Ta.

[Denver]

i think it's Karl Michael from The Voice UK? not sure :think:

No it's Karl William Lund (sounds Scandinavian)

[Nicky91]

No it's Karl William Lund (sounds Scandinavian)

well his song sounds a little bit dull


Darline is really easy to listen to, catchy beat

[T*]

My Eurovision Twitter is @RTV365 if you would like to visit!

[Denver]

Apparently Karl's song sounds Swedish influenced but I don't get that

[Nicky91]

Apparently Karl's song sounds Swedish influenced but I don't get that

me neither :conf: :conf:


my favourites:

1. Darline

2. Bianca

[Crimson Dynamo]

Karl William Lund: Miracle - jesus wept that is fkng awful

[T*]

LT what did you think of Darline???

[T*]

OI

[JoshBB]

I ranked em:

1. Dulcima - When You Go (hated on first listen, really warming to it though)
2. Joe & Jake - You're Not Alone
3. Bianca - Shine A Little Light
4. Karl William Lund - Miracle
5. Darline - Until Tomorrow (although could change depending on live performance)
6. Matthew James - A Better Man (just yuck tbh)

[Crimson Dynamo]

Darline: Until Tomorrow - yes if we want a bland country song with god awful lyrics we will call you love

:yuk:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Matthew James: A Better Man - :sleep:


Do these twats watch eurovision and see what wins?


:facepalm:

well i like Darline, Bianca and Dulcima


Matthew James, a dull and outdated song, could've been a hit in the 90's

[Crimson Dynamo]

Dulcima: When You Go - has a good chance, its catchy and its current

[JoshBB]

Nothing is quite on the standard of Ukraine's NF last night though.. this was my favourite:
.
-Lo1O80fLVI

[Denver]

Isn't Ukraine sendin a political song about Russia? Then it will be disqualified

[JoshBB]

Isn't Ukraine sendin a political song about Russia? Then it will be disqualified

It's about the mass-deportation of Crimea in 1944 I believe? I think she's able to send it though because she is passing it off as a personal story relating to her grandparents. If all else fails, she can just change the lyrics to 'lasha tumbai' :laugh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Joe and Jake: You're Not Alone - its ok but its not special enough to be top 3 in the big comp

[Braden]

I think Miracle is the best song.

I like Darline but doubt they would do well at Eurovision, and I want to win god damnit :fist:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Bianca: Shine A Little Light - dull

[Denver]

I think Miracle is the best song.

I like Darline but doubt they would do well at Eurovision, and I want to win god damnit :fist:

The UK are a long way away from winning we need to look for a top 10 and build on it the problem is each time we get a high placing we spend the next few years dropping down the table

[BlankSpace]

I'm late :( where can you find the songs?

[Crimson Dynamo]

I'm late :( where can you find the songs?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0070hvg/clips

[Crimson Dynamo]

It really is between Joe and Jake and Dulcima

[BlankSpace]

I'm loving Mircale by that guy, listening to the others now :)

[BlankSpace]

My personal rankings:

1. Mircale
2. Until Tomorrow
3. Where You Go
4. Shine A Little Light
5. You're Not Alone
6. A Better Man

[Braden]

Joe and Jake's song sounds really familiar. But I quite like it.

'I come a lot when I'm with you', is that the actual lyric they sing or is it just my hearing?

[Braden]

At first I thought Shine a Little Light was a little boring, it reminded me of the ballads some of the females sing from other countries that don't even get through the semi-final.

BUT! I actually grew to like it towards the end. It's quite catchy, and could be really nice when performed live.

[Loukas]

Dulcima is the best of a bad bunch imo, quite disappointed tbh

[Braden]

I'm quite indifferent towards Dulcima. I like that they're quirky, but I'm not sure if they're right for Eurovision.

[Braden]

A Better Man is so. ****ing. Boring.

I actually think a lot of people would vote for it though.

[Denver]

Darline is our only chance of top 10

[Braden]

Darline's song is enjoyable. But like I said, I don't know if it will stand out at Eurovision :(

[Braden]

Miracle is great. I really like Karl's voice :)

So after having listened to all of them, this is my ranking:

Miracle
Until Tomorrow
You're Not Alone
When You Go
Shine a Little Light
A Better Man

[zakman440]

Had a listen to all of our submissions, here's my ranking:

You're Not Alone > Miracle > Until Tomorrow > When You Go > A Better Man > Shine A Little Light.

Most of these submissions are very average though tbh. I didn't really want Joe and Jake's to be the best but it is imo (though it does sound a bit like A Head Full Of Dreams by Coldplay (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMCvZtl8vMU) so that's probably why I've ranked it so high).

[T*]

Darline's song is enjoyable. But like I said, I don't know if it will stand out at Eurovision :(


I honestly think that it'll do well
Just look at the Netherlands' entry in 2014
they were massive

[T*]

Miracle sounds like a sloppy take that rehash and I think it'd tank and do another Josh Dubovie
