The tabloids are reporting that Olly Alexander is 'in advanced talks' to represent the UK next year.

As much as I love Olly/Years and Years I’m not 100% sure about that. I don’t rate him as the strongest live singer

Interesting reveal time/place but saves the rumour mill from going into overdrive.
Well he's a competent live performer with a lot of charisma, so it all rests on how good the song is! |

That was unexpectedly early for the BBC to drop this

Really excited by this, I think he'll deliver! Seems like a lot of countries are going early this year??
One of the slides on his Instagram announcement is a photo of him with Danny L Harle (who produced Houdini for Dua and pretty much everything Caroline Polachek does) so consider me hyped if they're working together! |

Oh this is exciting! I find Olly/Years & Years hit and miss but when it hits I really get into it (Shine, Eyes Shut, King, If You’re Over Me) really intrigued!

what no random rumours for months?
That's a pretty good get, I swear he's been one of those 'well why can't they do it, they'd wipe the competition' names for a little while now. The early reveal does sound like they have a plan, or at least are caring to make sure we don't slip back into uselessness now the contest has had its profile boosted here. I'm encouraged. |

Two minds... I'm glad we finally have a household name representing us. On the other hand, I really haven't been fussed by any of his solo stuff to date...
Will see how this goes! |

My jaw is still on the floor from that Strictly reveal, I thought his news was going to be a tour or something as I haven’t paid rumours much attention this year an exciting name for sure!

Danny L Harle is a GENIUS, this could potentially be great.

He can sing and is a charismatic performer. Already an improvement on 2023 before we’ve even heard the song. Give us a banger like Sweet Talker or Starstruck please Olly 🤞

What an incredible reveal. We always get stuff like this leaked so the fact it wasn't is pretty amazing!
Obviously delighted and I can't believe I'm already getting hyped up for Eurovision 2024 and we haven't even had Christmas yet EDIT: Oh, the tabloids were reporting on it?! Good job I didn't pick up on that then! This post has been edited by Jαsє: 16th December 2023, 10:03 PM |

I’m a little disappointed… he’s not great vocally, live.
I guess it’ll have to be a great track, but I’m expecting it to be an overproduced, club track. He never lived up to the promise of his first 2 tracks. Zzzz This post has been edited by Dante77: 16th December 2023, 10:08 PM |
