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.

Who WOULD likely win for us in your view?
At least he'll throw himself fully into doing his very best for the UK.
That's for sure

Maybe he won't win, however who knows.
I just hope he does really well.

We can do, Sam Ryder demonstrated that.

We need a Rock Song
with a Live Rock Band:



The Drummer needs 2 Bass Drums.


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

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

It would Fast Moving
and with Inspirational words.

2 Top writers would complete it.


Also never have they had a Full Top Band on stage
like I stated. Getting Solos

Take Note jones89

Tbf to the two acts from last year, if they weren't attached to Germany or Australia (because a lot of Eurovision fans don't agree with Australia being in the contest) I do believe that they would've stood a much better chance of winning.

I agree with you, we have one of the biggest Rock scenes in the world as well, but the stuffy BBC will never allow that to happen.

Olly Alexander is probably the BBC thinking that they have picked a Rockstar.

Just to clarify though, I actually do believe that Olly Alexander could do well for us if his song is catchy.

Your last line obviously from all I've said, I agree with.

He has a great personality, I think he's one of the best personalities to be put forward for Eurovision.
I'm sure his song will be up tempo.

I really hope he gets rewarded for the massive effort I'm sure he'll put into this.
Because it will mean a lot to him.

I don’t think we have any chance of winnings as it’s all political… plus everyone and his uncle basically hate us for one reason or another

i don't think our Joost Klein will win, as juries might attempt to destroy our chances

but we'll deffo bring the party to Malmo, with the Fryslan flavours


Joost teased his entry like ''as dutch as it can be, very modern but also with a nostalgic touch'' and the selection committee said about his entry ''potential to be a hit in the charts''

I think we stand a fairly decent chance with him. Europe loved Sam Ryder and I think they will like Olly Alexander even more

I mean as a super fan who has had to endure some of the worst entries known to man and for us to be getting a double 0 less than 5 years ago to even have a credible, commercial artist representing us is wild and exciting for me. What’s even more fantastic is not having to endure 6 months of rumours.

BBC Music would back that
if they had the correct Producer.
