January 28, 201510 yr a jokey 'anything we send flops' statement =/= 'UK will flop no matter what they send' i do think the UK could do well again if we send a good song by a current act. I know that basically defines Molly last year but we could do even better, there's so much UK talent but not many willing to eurovision, which is partly why we underperform as our best won't wanna do it. Well generally speaking jokes tend to be funny :)
January 28, 201510 yr Eurovision is not a laughing matter Daniel. :hitler: Also, this. ^_^ In here, we go for serious business. The competition is absolutely not being rigged (except when it is, Azerbaijan), all the entries are fabulous shining examples of their native country's culture (except when they aren't, Azerbaijan) and we don't analyze this shit for one night, no, it's all year. *.*
January 29, 201510 yr can we really not bring up Jade Ewan every time someone makes a joke about the UK underperforming every year, that was over 5 years ago now. If you're looking for something more recent ~ y1dXMWWq6y8
January 29, 201510 yr can you not? (yay pun) a jokey 'anything we send flops' statement =/= 'UK will flop no matter what they send' i do think the UK could do well again if we send a good song by a current act. I know that basically defines Molly last year but we could do even better, there's so much UK talent but not many willing to eurovision, which is partly why we underperform as our best won't wanna do it. oh so that was a joke? didn't feel like it. Netherlands had like the worst luck in Eurovision recently until one year and BAM they finish Top 10 two years in a row. So, like, gurl... Most countries don't even qualify for the final and they would kill (or fix the vote... Georgiabaijan) for an opportunity to perform their song in the final which the Brits take for granted and don't exactly appreciate in the slightest.
January 29, 201510 yr If you're looking for something more recent ~ y1dXMWWq6y8 i'll give you that~ (the song is awful though oops :ph34r:) I guess I'm still disappointed by the Molly underperformance, that really really should've done better. :(
February 2, 201510 yr Author Alexandra Burke is taking a break from The Bodyguard for the second half of May and has a new EP out in March... Ooh it's exciting the rumour mill will be in full force now we are in February!
February 2, 201510 yr If you're looking for something more recent ~ y1dXMWWq6y8 Top five in the public vote no less! The more I look back to 2011 the more I can't quite fathom how on earth this missed the top ten, easily our best entry in a while. The only bad thing about it was Blue's suits and the LED screens, the vocals and the song itself were great and easily up there with the very best of the contest.
February 2, 201510 yr Alexandra Burke is taking a break from The Bodyguard for the second half of May and has a new EP out in March... Ooh it's exciting the rumour mill will be in full force now we are in February! Yes, let's do the right thing by exploiting this one piece of information over a few pages!
February 3, 201510 yr Author But where's the fun in that! I'm sure we'll have our annual Diana Vickers rumour in a couple of weeks which is always my favourite bit :cheer:
February 4, 201510 yr Author Out of curiosity I just listened to the song that finished 2nd to Jemini back in the 2003 national final. It's pretty great isn't it! :o URnKykcySZY
February 22, 201510 yr Author So it was the equivalent to next week where everything fell into place last year! We found out about the private concert show that OGAE leaked they were invited to and the Red Button show on the Thursday - which was then officially confirmed on the BBC Eurovision blog on the Friday. Then on the Sunday the filming of the song took place and we were 99% sure it was Molly and then on the Monday it was of course shown on the Red Button. Will they follow the same pattern this year?
February 22, 201510 yr There's been a weirdly low amount of hype/rumours this year on the internet about the UK entrant compared to usual, maybe everyone's still deflated about how badly Molly did and nobody wants to get their hopes up? I guess we'll know very soon!
February 22, 201510 yr Author Yeah I was just thinking yesterday how we haven't had our annual Daily Star exclusive of Atomic Kitten or whoever takes their fancy being our representative.
February 22, 201510 yr Author @jessecreme I've heard about 10 seconds of our Eurovision entry! Think funky Eldrine Barely any followers but he was right with his hints about the 2014 entry (although maybe he was just quick to get on the rumours and make it look like he had inside knowledge...)
February 22, 201510 yr I'm very down for funky Eldrine if that source is correct. Though it's not the sort of thing I'd ever expect us to send and that's a weird comparison to make unless it can really be described as nothing more remembered.
February 22, 201510 yr Doesn't fill me with hope :lol: A rockier entry from the UK would be about time though really I guess...
February 22, 201510 yr We might as well try something different :lol: We've tried other things and flopped, we have nothing to lose really - it's not as if we have a run of hits to uphold.
February 22, 201510 yr Author I'd like to try something a bit indie for a change, I feel like we could enter something a bit alternative and quirkly like Estonia's 'Siren' from 2010 (and lots of their Eesti Laul entries over the years to be fair) but a better version of it.
