Ukraine not able to.


[The Eurovision Song Contest will take place
in the UK next year, it has been confirmed.

The show's organisers decided the event
could not be held in the winning
country, Ukraine, due to the ongoing
war following Russia's invasion.

The UK came second in this year's contest,
so the European Broadcasting Union (EBU)
opened talks with the BBC.

It's not yet known which city will host,
but cities including Glasgow and Manchester
have expressed an interest.]

This better not be hijacked by ukraine if we are paying for it. it needs to be a the best of british only show.

[arista]

Manchester could do it,
better than Scotland

[Nicky91]

with Ukrainian elements yes, and tbh Ukraine should also be an AQ in next years final, other hosting rights they do deserve in all fairness

[Nicky91]

well good that Ukraine are an AQ

this guy better represent them pls pls

Youtube video

Youtube video

i stan him so much, and i am gobsmacked he hasn't done ESC yet, since he'd be perfect for this show, the showman that he is

[Nicky91]

as for UK

one job BBC, confirm Nathan Evans up next please

Youtube video

with a similar song to this and this language

[Nicky91]

we might get one extra country next year

Kosovo if they are accepted as a new EBU member by the end of the year


one ally for Albania although i hope they will be fair and not just randomized scoring a la Belarus pls


one who Serbia dislikes, but for serbia's sake i hope Montenegro stay with us



maybe 40 or 41 countries since there's always Kazakhstan mystery the big when EBU are going to invite them ala Australia and we do miss a big country like Russia now, so we need something else to fill that gap in terms of viewer public numbers

[Nicky91]

Slovakia also one who are yet to say anything regarding a comeback, they got a new director-general now (whom has a transgender son who lives in prague, well known LGBT+ activist)

they will say anything by next month as for their final decision

[Nicky91]

who do we want as host presenters


i'm hoping for 3 british and 1 ukrainian (prefer it to be Jamala so we also have one ukrainian interval sorted as well, whom can do a medley of her work + covers of popular non-esc ukrainian songs)

Marvin and Rochelle

[Crimson Dynamo]

Nigel Farage and Barrie from Eastenders

[bots]

Another perfect pairing would be the reunion of Sam Fox and Mick Fleetwood

Holly and Phillip

[Nicky91]

Good luck to bbc finding a black Ukrainian to host

[Nicky91]

hoping we get Kazakhstan debuting with a filth bop like LoVa

but idk if political correct europe are ready for that


Kazakhi's will always get my votes, am a loyal kazakhi stan already in junior eurovision, their music scene is just divine and so much variety (in terms of Q-Pop, slutpop, punk rock, alt rock)

[Nicky91]

even their flag is iconique

[Nicky91]

my presenters would be

main show: Graham Norton, Katrina Leskanich, Robbie Williams

backstage presenter, interviewer: Vick Hope



and in terms of the ukrainian connection, well a moment with Jamala in all 3 shows (semi 1, semi 2, grand final) while we wait for the results and people can vote


+ also lots of blue-yellow ukrainian flag colours everywhere in the ''green room'' turning it into a blue-yellow room


blue-yellow carpet ceremony idea too i guess, and carpet ceremony presenters i'd want: AJ Odudu, Ruslana, Verka Serduchka, HRVY for those honours

[Nicky91]

and also no pressure for UK in terms of carpet ceremonies, when this years for me personally was best one yet, with perfect location ever at a castle and such a beautiful garden
