Olly Alexander will represent the UK at Eurovision 2024
 

Well he’s got 760,000 followers on Instagram alone plus around 680,000 instagram followers for the group Years & Years soooo
- loads of those will be the same but certainly not all …then there’s the people who follow him as an actor or ‘spokesman’

at least 50% will be bots

Christ you’re dull.

That's Mr Dull

To you

…for me, I hope that any voting isn’t follower/fan based but judged on the entry alone …as that for me would be no different from being ‘politically’ influenced…and with other countries, it’s not something I would like to see as a big or significant voting influencer, that voting was in any way based on a performer fan base…Olly has a good song, he has a great stage presence and a great style….and staging and styling are probably as important as the song choice, itself….other than our own UK song, my first experience of Eurovision songs is in the contest itself because without the staging and the styling and the on night performance …?…I feel that it’s really only getting part of an entry…of course, an important part…. but it can still all change on the night with songs that I might have dismissed as being less favourite…but the whole complete performance has left a huge lasting impact more than other performances that I felt more hopeful for on being familiar with the song alone….Olly has so much potential to be the full Eurovision performance in every way and I’m rooting for him, totally…:love:…

44/1 currently

lol

That's not true.

Years & Years in particular were a really popular group at one time.

they were briefly popular a long time ago but that has zero to so with X followers and how they are made up/bots and fake followers

current favourite is certainly different

Does the Irish entry identify as Non-Binary? Because if they do then the anti-Woke crowd (which yes they will exist even at an event like Eurovision) will probably put a stop to Ireland's entry, even though I personally think that it's a really standout performance personally, along with Norway and Croatia.

I know of quite a few fans of Olly from It's A Sin alone, let alone fans of his Music.

I get that you may not personally like him, but he definitely has a fanbase.

He’s got quite a wide selection of fans / followers

The group Years & Years , his subsequent and blossoming solo career, his acting career plus his involvement in the LGBT+ cause .. and he has also spoken openly about his own struggles with depression, self-harm, eating disorders and anxiety from age 13 onwards until now at 33 !!


He’s just a really a really kind and considerate guy who’s had tremendous successes tainted with a troubled last 20 years ..

His parents split when he was 13 years old and after that his mother raised him primarily as a single mother as his father couldn’t accept that his son was never gonna be a typical ‘lad’ and bullied and abused him relentlessly

They were indeed and still are.
They had success across Europe.

Olly still records as Years and Years but his last release Night Call album was his own solo work and made number one in the album charts.
With the single Sweet Talker being a modest entry on the UK charts too.
That was in 2022.
Until this song Dizzy, he hasn't released anything since then.

He has a hard core of fans who have stayed loyal.
Because of his personality and stage presence as he really involves the audiences he performs to..

I see nothing offensive about Olly myself and would number myself as a fan of him.
Plus I've always loved the song King.

Again I say good luck to him, obviously those of us in the UK cannot vote for him but I'll support him all the way definitely.

the question I raised was about "Millions"

Zizu camne back tt say he has well under a million followers on X

even if all were genuine people (utterly fanciful) its way way off Zizu's claim


No one claimed he does not have a fanbase - apart from you :conf:

He’s on loads of different platforms though .. I illustrated two sites with roughly 2/3 million on way one !

There are countless other platforms that he’s a prominent contributor on

he is yesterday's news and now has sealed his fate with a terrible unimaginative Eurovision song aimed at a predictable and tired target audience that other countries gave up on years ago

let it go

Well his Dad sounds like a vile piece of ****.

Hopefully he does well for us, I am nervous about the song if I'm being honest, but I do like Olly, so hopefully he can pull it off at the final.

I like King as well Joey, also Shine and Desire too.

I haven't really heard too much of his solo stuff tbh.

Well tbf 600-700,000 followers on Instagram alone, probably means he at least has one million people that like him when you add in other Social Media platforms, Forums, and the general public into the equation.

Mock I follow Police Scotland and Sky sports but I don't like them

Not the same at all imho

If you are following Olly Alexander on Instagram , Twitter X , TikTok , YouTube , Tumblr, Pinterest , Imgur etc etc

It’s because you like ( or love ) him

You have no idea why people follow anyone and its clear that you think all follows are genuine people..

Just take a look at Elon

Elon Musk's 153 million followers on Twitter may not all be real, as according to analytics data from a third-party researcher, nearly 42% of Musk's followers have no follower's of their own, while more than 72% have less than 10 followers.

I'd agree in the main with that.

I wonder how many, like myself, who don't follow him or any other Celebrity on any of those outlets, however still like him and buy his recordings .

Figures NO ONE could ever even just suppose and not ever know for certain.

oh he was frontman of Years & Years


yes of course i'm voting for the UK then, not based on the song but based on the artist name

They're different fields to following a singer.

I actually never knew there was a place called Pinterest.

I've learned something new today.:joker:

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

UK embarrassing themselves once again i see :umm2:

absolutely disgusting



and just illustrating how poor the song is

vile

the staging doesn't fit well with the song i reckon :laugh:


i'd stage Dizzy more with a disco/nightclub setting, some neon light effects similar to Poland 2021 The Ride had

Those shots do look a tad over-sexual to be honest.

We don’t know where that’s all come from though .. it could be the production team who will know what type of thing will hold down well with the voting panel.

It’s a strange new world for sure

Edit - Either way its a brilliant pop song

rehearsal snippet

its giving Russia 2016 You Are the Only One vibes :hehe:

utterly repellent

what have we become?

I see nothing wrong

Neither do I.

it's at least no threat to Israel so thats one positive thing


how many times am i voting for Israel is only the question, maybe 4 or 5 times

Why are none of you annoyed when a female dances with shirtless men?

because that looks sexy


this doesn't



and i'm not against sexy dancing males though, i mean full monty is something i like, Robert Carlyle has more charisma already in one toe than this Olly
