I only know him from It's a Sin, which was an incredible mini series and very sad. He was good in that. I don't really know his music, but have probably heard songs of his/his band and just not known who sings them.

Also, thanks for clarifying that's it's ok to be ginger, and gay, or either Arista

He's one of those camp cheesey types who do well in Eurovision.

Dizzy is Alexander's first release under his own name after the dissolution of Years & Years.In a interview with the BBC, he revealed that the song was written in the summer of 2023 and is lyrically about "feeling such an intense swell of emotion for someone they totally turn your world upside down and inside out".

so he wrote a song about something 99.9% of songs are about, love

Tbf, the MV makes it seem like it was a wild ride.

99.9% ?

I think that James Hetfield may have something to say about those figures

UK won't win but Olly might avoid bottom 5 i think



its between Israel, Poland, Albania for the win i think, all in english what everyone can understand, very commercially appealing songs with huge billboard chart potential, very modern entries too

[Nicky91]

i hope Niamh, Cherie are happy with Ireland's choice


unlike the UK, it is a very risky, alternative, artsy entry choice, bit similar to Melanie Martinez maybe, also bit similar to Konstrakta's quirkiness, in terms of song, i don't understand much of it, but tbh i just pretend it has irish celtic ethno vibes and sound wise we all know RTE are kinda rubbish with their late late show studio quality

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.

Olly has millions of fans across the world and media outlets



That may have some bearing on the voting ??

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’

That's not true.

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

Christ you’re dull.

…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……

[Crimson Dynamo]
