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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.
