[Denver]

The fact its Radio 1 suggests it's someone relevant?

[Denver]

Why do I feel its JLS with their randomly timed comeback?

[Black Dagger]

You can't say relevant and then say JLS sis!

[Denver]

You can't say relevant and then say JLS sis!

Well teenage girls lapped them up when they were last releasing which they will probably hope happens again

[Morgan.]

Why do I feel its JLS with their randomly timed comeback?

Didn’t they say it was because it’s 10 years since their first tour that they’re reuniting?

[Barry.]

Oh can't wait.

[zrc]

If it ain't Baga, DDC and Blu (which it won't be) then I'm not interested.

[Barry.]

If it ain't Baga, DDC and Blu (which it won't be) then I'm not interested.

That would be fun.

[MB.]

Gaga's doing Eurovision to promote Stupid Love and you heard it here first!

[LaLaLand]

Apparently it could be

Mabel

[MB.]

Apparently it's

Mabel

Come Outside icon :love:

[Denver]

It's not Mabel

[Denver]

We are all expecting the likes of Tulisa/Paloma Faith/Foxes/Leona Lewis when it will end up being someone like Shellyann or Megan McKenna

[LaLaLand]

Lady Sovereign's highly anticipated comeback? Or Jentina as a curveball!?

Nicola Roberts AS Queen Bee!? :joker:

[Black Dagger]

If it ain't Baga, DDC and Blu (which it won't be) then I'm not interested.

As much as I love the frock destroyers it's a disaster waiting to happen.

[Black Dagger]

We are all expecting the likes of Tulisa/Paloma Faith/Foxes/Leona Lewis when it will end up being someone like Shellyann or Megan McKenna

Nobody in the world is expecting Tulisa

[Barry.]

Nobody in the world is expecting Tulisa

Was Going to say. Only you luv.

[Denver]

Seems like the last couple of posters are tone deaf jealous people

[Mystic Mock]

Knowing the UK we'll probably pick someone who's lost their voice, or we'll pick a decent singer but the song is terrible like what happened to poor Lucie Jones, SuRie, and the guy from last year.

[Nicky91]

it won't be Mabel, she wouldn't risk hurting her career lets be honest


it'll be someone who got nothing to lose anyway, so also not megan mckenna since a esc flop would make her career dead and she doesn't want that either, and we all you're gonna flop since it is the uk after all, no one votes for uk

[Black Dagger]

Yawn

Lucie Jones had a great song and she did quite well :oh:

[Nicky91]

also if i were to be an artist, and bbc would ask me

my answer would be no thanks


i mean i'm not gonna let myself be stitched up by some random oldfashioned cringe ballad :idc:

with bbc artists got nothing to say themselves, no artistic freedom which is a known fact


so even if its mabel, she'll be stitched up with outdated ballad

[Crimson Dynamo]

EXCITED :amazed:

[Firewire]

Mabel is BMG and her tour breaks in April

It’s a big move but can’t see it

[Nicky91]

Mabel is BMG and her tour breaks in April

It’s a big move but can’t see it

Mabel is nice

but if you want a solid artist, performer

https://www.bmg.com/de/artist/rick-astley

:flutter: Rick Astley is at BMG :flutter: :flutter:

one can only hope, Rick to slay a bop like Austria had in 2018 :love:

I know who Rick Astley is.

[Nicky91]

i never really support UK, but i would give my support then with all honesty :love:

[Mystic Mock]

Lucie Jones had a great song and she did quite well :oh:

Imo Lucie could've broken the top 10 or even top 5 if the song was as good as her vocal on the night, the song let her down in my view.

It's 2020 luv.

[Denver]

It's 2020 luv.

Me when I'm a doctor and someone wakes up from a coma and asks what year it is

[Nicky91]

It's 2020 luv.

so what, i don't care about 2020 music :idc:

[Shaun]

5ive are coming

[Barry.]

Steps next reunion?

[Black Dagger]

so what, i don't care about 2020 music :idc:

I do when I actually want a modern sounding contest and not being transported back to 1992. Cheers.

[Marsh.]

I thought that was the fun of Eurovision? Dated cheese?

[Denver]

We need to send something like a Dance Monkey

[bots]

Cliff Richard to make a comeback?

[MB.]

I do when I actually want a modern sounding contest and not being transported back to 1992. Cheers.

see also, considering we sent Electro Velvet to Vienna in complete earnest: 1922

[zrc]

Russia sent TaTu one year, so we should give everyone what they want and give Scooch a second chance.

[Mystic Mock]

so what, i don't care about 2020 music :idc:

Tbf this year's Music has barely begun.:laugh:

Personally I think we're gonna do **** anyway, so our best effort to get some support on the night would be to come up with the most ridiculous song imaginable, like that Cheesecake song from a few years ago.

[Denver]

John Newman is a name that is starting to pop up abit

[Denver]

So take this with a pinch of salt but someone who claims to he in the know says it's a British Male who is well known and not been rumoured and the song writer has wrote a very successful Eurovision hit in the last 10 years

[Barry.]

So not Johnny Logan. He's an 80s hit for the Eurovision.

[Black Dagger]

I thought that was the fun of Eurovision? Dated cheese?

Yeah... maybe 15 years ago.

[Denver]

A solo male confirmed

[Denver]

looking very likely to be John Newman

[Crimson Dynamo]

Barrowman?

[Denver]

John Newman has tweeted he has a huge week

[Morgan.]

John’s brother put on twitter ‘It’s a Family Affair’, and it was already highly expected that he wrote the song for John to perform. I think John Newman is the best bet.

[Crimson Dynamo]

iv never heard of him

[Denver]

John’s brother put on twitter ‘It’s a Family Affair’, and it was already highly expected that he wrote the song for John to perform. I think John Newman is the best bet.

Which is a fairly big pop star tbh and a massive upgrade on the past pop stars they used

[Denver]

iv never heard of him

he has had 3 number ones and numerous other hits within the last 10 years which is pretty decent compared to what we had

[Morgan.]

iv never heard of him

CfihYWRWRTQ

[Crimson Dynamo]

CfihYWRWRTQ

oh yeah i like that one:dance:

[Crimson Dynamo]

its an advert

[LaLaLand]

How can you tell it’s a man from that!? I’m squinting and all I can make out is a long coat :joker:

[Denver]

also his brother has wrote many hit singles including a number 1 for his brother so hopefully it will be a smash uptempo song

[Denver]

How can you tell it’s a man from that!? I’m squinting and all I can make out is a long coat :joker:

Rumours started yesterday that John Newman was singing and his brother was writing now they have written things on twitter like "Family Affair" "Big Week Ahead" "im Ready" so thats where the most likely option is now

[Crimson Dynamo]

we need another Never gonna give you up

[Nicky91]

we need another Never gonna give you up

it will likely be a ballad i think based on that teaser

[Nicky91]

but avoiding last place isn't that difficult this year, i mean you can not get worse than France :fan:

[Mitchell]

Can’t get worse than the Netherlands

[Black Dagger]

Can’t get worse than the Netherlands

... I mean they're one of the most hyped internal selections of the year sis bc their entry has quality music in all sorts of genres and his entry hasn't been revealed yet but sure!

[Morgan.]

... I mean they're one of the most hyped internal selections of the year sis bc their entry has quality music in all sorts of genres and his entry hasn't been revealed yet but sure!

... I think it was a dig at how nicky always trashes the uk at any opportunity ...

[Nicky91]

Jeangu's entry i can see being soul/funk, also i kinda expect a good act, given him having theatre experience, also northsea jazz festival experience here

so despite being hosts, yes our aim is to again be competitive

[Black Dagger]

... I think it was a dig at how nicky always trashes the uk at any opportunity ...

Oh oops

[Mitchell]

... I think it was a dig at how nicky always trashes the uk at any opportunity ...

Haha this

[Denver]

The UK are now 13th favourites to win without actually releasing a song.

That is pretty crazy when you look at our history.

[Nicky91]

6ACl8s_tBzE

i know John more from this than love me again

[Black Dagger]

The UK are now 13th favourites to win without actually releasing a song.

That is pretty crazy when you look at our history.

We always end up being around there in the odds anyway

[Denver]

The song has apparently been leaked and the artist is actually the unknown James Newman brother to John.

The song is the best since blue but a big let down on the hype

[Denver]

Someone is saying the actually sing us too long so we not sure but it was released on Czech Radio

[Nicky91]

great song :clap1:

we know James Newman anyway, from a hit he had with armin van buuren therapy :love:


John Newman will compose i guess for another country, i saw on twitter him saying ''head to head''

[Denver]

I'm not mad at it as it's a pretty good song just the hype allowed us to believe it was a banger

[Nicky91]

55 minutes and we'll know the uk entry for sure, if it is my last breath or not

[Crimson Dynamo]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:bbc_radio_two

listen live

[Nicky91]

yes LT, also on radio 2 myself, prefer Ken Bruce over Greg James myself :flutter:

[Crimson Dynamo]

i dont hate it but is it unusual enough to win?

Its much better than what has come before in the last 10 years

[Nicky91]

don't think about winning LT

this could at least avoid bottom 5


i personally love the song, quite catchy too :clap2:

[Crimson Dynamo]

im listening again

[Crimson Dynamo]

Love the opening to the song

should stage really well

[Crimson Dynamo]

cncothcORBM

[Nicky91]

yes music video will be released soon i think

[Denver]

It's a fantastic song and ours best since probaly Jade but I expected better from the hype.

With staging and placing we may get top 10 but it's a short possibility

[Denver]

It's also on Spotify now and with it playing on Radio 1 it could be a chart hit before May

[Mystic Mock]

I think that it definitely sounds better than the last couple of entries for us.

And at least the song appears to be less of an OTT hippy fest that normally feels very forced in other entries.

And the guy definitely has a good voice, so hopefully we can avoid last place.

[TwentyOneThrones]

It's not a bad song...but I still dont see it pulling us out of the bottom. And again the hype gave me bigger hopes/expectations

[Nicky91]

6iS-lV909T4

[Braden]

I don't hate it, but I don't love it either.

I can't imagine it doing really well, but I guess I'll have to wait and see what the staging is like and how the rest of Europe reacts.

[Babayaro.]

Pish.

[Strictly Jake]

I will take a listen in a bit

But the EU hate us right now. We wont do well

[Nicky91]

I will take a listen in a bit

rubbish


UK doesn't do well recent years because you had horrible songs, bad stagings


this has potential, also promise with a good staging, i agree with what Ken Bruce said, great song and excellent performer :)

You think the EU wont hate us after Brexit and the absolute rudeness of Nigel Farage etc whilst doing so at that EU meeting

[Denver]

If you actually did your RESEARCH jake you would find there are more countries in Eurovision outside the EU then inside it

[Liam-]

I quite like it? It’s not going to win it for us, but with the right staging and performance, we could end up on the left side of the board for a change

[bots]

i really like it :worry:

[Crimson Dynamo]

You think the EU wont hate us after Brexit and the absolute rudeness of Nigel Farage etc whilst doing so at that EU meeting

yes because the EU also run the ESC


:umm2:

this is the other guy in the music video, one of our dutch extreme athletes, nicknamed ''The Iceman''

:love:

[Black Dagger]

I LOVE IT.

It's not a pop masterpiece but it has a catchy hook and is a total ear worm. BMG had to play it somewhat safe but I hope this can get a top 15 place and give BMG the full time gig for the next few year and then experiment more.

[Shaun]

It's a step in the right direction but not a big enough step.

I can see it picking up a handful of 1 or 2pts from countries but don't see it moving from the right side of the leaderboard.

[Crimson Dynamo]

At least its not sh1te and its something we can get behind, at last

[Shaun]

In terms of recent entries it is probably the best, yeah... Molly's was the only other song that tried to do something "big". Best since Jade Ewen I guess.

[Saph]

its alright but I cant see it standing out

[Denver]

After the revealed the UK are now 11th faves to win and close to climbing into the top 10 and the song is #24 on iTunes which is higher then a song has been since Blue I believe?

[zrc]

Lucky to make it out the second half of the board, on the night though ha!

[Denver]

#11 on iTunes now which is amazing when you look at the history if our last 10 years

[Kazanne]

I heard a little snippet of this earlier,it sounds quite good,but wont be good enough for the Eurovision contest though:hehe:

[Saph]

I would say you need to do something out of the box to win nowadays but the last few years some ****e has managed to win

[Alf]

The Eurovision song contest had been cancelled for this year, due to he coronavirus epidemic.

A vaccine will be around quicker then you know it

[Babayaro.]

One person that I've always thought would be a good fit for Eurovision is Nathan Sykes (The Wanted). He's got the looks and a cracking voice! Even listening to some of his stuff, you can hear a Eurovision song in them.

Didn’t he represent us for junior Eurovision?
