True. Presumably it will be. It can quietly be farted out, like Keri Hilson - I Like :lol: Otherwise I think the song was released after the contest in previous years, but I don't think it works in the digital era...

 

That is fukkin brilliant. :rofl:

 

So much better than the original.

 

It's a viral campaign though, there's nothing organic about it, most of those guys are actors.

 

How did you hear that The Flood was going to be our Eurovision entry and the BBC refused btw?

I know Jemini was, but if it wasn't for the notoriety it had for coming last, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have gone anywhere near #15 in the charts :heehee:

 

O/T but Justin Lee Collins ESC programme on Channel 5 now

I know its a viral campaign for Puma, tying in with the World Cup. But I just think its inspired. :lol:

 

From reading the BBC Radio 2 forums: A few weeks back she appeared on Terry Wogan's Sunday Radio show, where she revealed that her record label Dramatico offered her services to represent the UK at Eurovision in 2010. No more specifics were made (as to whether it was just for the single The Flood or whether it would be a Song For Europe type thingy for tracks from her album The House, and when the offer was made).

 

However, as the BBC is the same organisation which recommended getting rid of their most unique Radio Station (Radio 6Music) which has increased listenership by 59% over the past year; turned down Jonathan Ross' request (much to his annoyance) to have one of his Friday night Chat shows dedicated just to the actors who appear in the US monster TV/music crossover hit Glee; and allows Radio 1 to treat the national Sunday chart show as a joke ... then I reckon an offer from Pete Waterman would be more highly regarded than an offer of a Guy Chambers penned song performed by a very successful UK singer across Europe. As most people in the UK streets would probably regard That Sounds Good To Me as being more Eurovision friendly than The Flood due to having an outdated concept of what the contest is about. Rather the BBC turning it down because they thought it could actually win in Norway, (and hence the cost to host in 2011). :(

 

 

... And she's not exactly rubbish at performing live ....

Yes, but you never know, the same fait could await Josh :drama:

 

Yeah, it was better than I expected actually, cool to see some Eurovision clips from the last five years for once...

That football version is terrifying.

How are we going to do that when it's not even available to buy physically or to download? :heehee: That would mean it would need to be on iTunes by Monday...

 

It will be. :mellow:

I doubt it, we're used to coming last/near bottom now :lol: didn't do Andy Abraham's non-song any favours anyway - #67 wasn't it :heehee:

It will be. :mellow:

 

It's still listed as 'coming soon' on the new release schedule (which could mean it's put on the week after the contest, or even later) and still 'album only' on iTunes, so unless they upload an unscheduled single version of it on Monday, it may not be, unless you have some release info for it?

No idea what's going on, checked Mike Stock's website, and there's nothing :blink:

 

But anyway, here's a nice official remix. Honestly. NICE:

 

I saw him singing live this song last saturday night.

It's nothing special, but I always liked this kind of cheese pop. :kink:

Wow! :o :D The flood being highest in Norway in Europe :wub:

Hate to say I told you so :P

 

But the single is now available on iTunes :)

 

I knew I'd heard somewhere that it was out today!

Edited May 23, 201015 yr by Peter30

Good! Will buy it later :D

 

So only Satellite is unavailable to purchase now :snif:

Not top 1000 on iTunes yet...

 

I've posted about the single's release on the 'get Josh to #1' group, but at this point top 100 would be an achievement :lol:

No CD single then? :( Unless I find a promo somewhere, this will be the first UK Eurovision entrant I don't have on CD single since Love City Groove.

Oh, and the rehearsal had lots going on but still looked incredibly bland. I think last place is almost certain now.

Oh come on there are worse songs in the contest this year - We will be near the bottom but certainly not last and anyway Ireland and Malta are always good for some points for the UK :lol:

Josh is a really good singer, but the song is dreadful. However, the rehearsals are going quite well, so I don't think last place is on the cards.

It'll depend on the juries. I can't see anybody in Europe being motivated enough to actually vote for the song.

Ireland are voting second in the final, so the UK may have a couple of minutes in the top 10, at least :kink:
