February 28, 201213 yr I had a horror moment of thinking VERA LYNN. Then a FAR BETTER and more discotits moment of thinking SHIRLEY BASSEY *o*
February 28, 201213 yr I'm going to be totally ageist and say ANYBODY over the age of 50 (yes, even Dame Shirley) is a potentially catastrophic idea.
February 28, 201213 yr That's not the first mention of DSB (I saw it mentioned elsewhere a few days ago :eyes:), how utterly fabulous that would be. It'll never happen though, I don't think she'd be up for it for one.
February 28, 201213 yr Rumours are saying that we're entering someone 75 or over. But then, rumours have said everyone from Adele to Barrowman by now. Oh god :/ Our very own 75 Cents moment! I can't think of anybody over 75 who I'd like to see in the contest, although I guess I could accept Shirley. Seems unlikely though, she's too legendary. At least Vera Lynn had a UK #1 album more recently than Blue :P

February 28, 201213 yr Oh well that was THEN, her ego seems to suggest to me she wouldn't do it. If it is her, I demand she acts like a total diva the whole time. I doubt she'd do it any differently though, THIS IS NOT THE VIP LOUNGE indeed *.*
February 29, 201213 yr I wonder WHY BBC would do something like that? I mean what's the thought process? Surely it's one of the following two - either they think entering someone respected and established (and near death) would do wonders ans they'll get a grandma/pity vote (then they clearly only saw how 75 Cents did in the Semifinal completely ignoring 'Romanca' flopped in the final) or BBC really want to embarrass themselves ON PURPOSE (which sounds more like the truth).

February 29, 201213 yr I think it's far more likely that the BBC just doesn't care. Why should they? It's essentially free massive ratings for them whatever they send this year given Jedward are entering again for Ireland...
February 29, 201213 yr Good morning folks. We'll be getting our 'act' in gear very soon. No news today, but rest assured we'll let you know absolute second we can! While we wait, we're dusting off the archive with a 90s rewind. Who was you favourite UK act of the decade?' Some minor news - I do hope that isn't an hint of some washed up 90s act being our representitive though.
February 29, 201213 yr Author Paloma Faith's new single is out on the 20th May - perfect timing for Eurovision? :D Edited February 29, 201213 yr by Ryan741

Nah, it's just their way of saying "We still don't have an act but are despertely looking for one!!".

February 29, 201213 yr Well, Rita Ora is clearly not doing Eurovision this year then. Ora recently claimed her first UK number one as part of DJ Fresh's latest single 'Hot Right Now'. The 21-year-old will tour with the DJ later this year, starting at Leeds University's Stylus on May 7 and finishing at Glasgow's Arches on May 19. That's one rumour down if it was ever a rumour.
March 1, 201213 yr Announcement sometime today on eurovisions facebook page and esc site http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=47963
