He’s not washed up at all, literally had a number one album last year, anyway..
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

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.

Well clearly he is held in high esteem by many on here so I will bow to your greater knowledge and I hope you are right that he'll do well

I thought Mae Muller would do well so what do I know

An album every 3 years is about average these days .. are you also suggesting that Coldplay are an irrelevance ?

He’s done acting and collaborated with Pet Shop Boys , Jax Jones , Kylie and Elton John over the last couple of years

…Olly is a total sweetheart …..so he’ll get lots of support, which is a great beginning…and the song itself is being/has been co-written with Danny L Harle, who has worked with some excellent artists …Dua Lipa and Charli XCX, so hopefully the song will be excellent also…he’s not the strongest live singer, but then I’ve only seen him singing live with other artists, not solo and the song will have been written to match his voice…good luck, Olly… those points are coming home, they’re coming…

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.

Perfect post !!

He’s had such a traumatic life …

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

To be fair
the support is needed in the Euro Nations
who hate Ginger Gays.

Please Note
It is fine to be Ginger Haired

It is also fine to be Gay.

…of course, but having a strong support from the UK public, which I think he will…is a huge factor as well, Arista…as you know, support/encouragement etc and feeling the belief of people is a fundamental also of helping to be the best you can be…
