Random lmao. He’s hit or miss imo, but if he pulls out something like starstruck it could do alright! I do hope we get rina one year though she would smash it. Interested to hear the song, I reckon it’ll be some 80s sounds by dark pop dance tune

This has to be the earliest we've got a UK artist announcement for a very long time? I'm sure we're normally one of the last to announce!

 

Good to have a relatively contemporary big name for once (still a few years past his peak but close enough) and I'm cautiously optimistic it could be a good song with Danny L Harle being involved - I have always found Years & Years quite hit or miss though so I'm not holding my breath too much. Hopefully at least better than our last entry though which wouldn't be too hard :kink:

Well that's not a reveal I was expecting! That early reveal suggests there's a clear plan though and I think that's a really good name that will be recognisable in Europe but not in a legacy act sort of way, promising!

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

 

PREACH!!!

Your ears deceive you!!! She sings live REALLY well!! Don't let all of her performances, studio vocals, or the actual Eurovision performance convicne tou otherwise!!! She went on your with tbe salty mixers and put THEM to shame vocally and so she must be able to sing!! The fanbase told me so :rofl: :rofl:

*All* of their stuff on Spotify is now credited to “Olly Alexander (Years & Years)”. Including ‘Communion’!

 

That’s a bit rubbish imo, I’m not a fan of that revisionism.

No amount of good vocals would make 'I Wrote A Song' a good song tho x

:drama: that looks awful, if they must insist on retroactively crediting Olly under his own name they could at least have made it a separate tag lol.

Yeah, not a fan of this change at all. I kind of it though.

I guess we will have an idea of how he could do when we hear the song/hear what he sounds like live singing it

 

 

Wait, Olly Alexander and Danny L Harle working together!? Banger incoming *.*

I'm 100% on board. Bloody yes!

I’m mostly excited for this, with a touch of worry based on his often shaky live vocals.

 

Danny L Harle’s inclusion on the other hand? VERY excited by that as he’s someone I would never expect to attach his name to Eurovision and feels like a huge stamp of serious intention to provide something current and competitive.

Who is Danny??

I've seen him live twice and he's an absolutely SMASHING live performer.

 

I'm so excited to see what he'll come up with for this!

Who is Danny??

 

Mostly known for his track Broken Flowers which was popular on radio 1 in 2015 but never became a hit.

 

He's also currently a pretty big name producer in the pop world.

Also the absolute banger 1UL from 2017, an all-time fave of mine.

Hope it’s gonna be an absolute banger, very happy with him

being our representative

Well it’s certainly got promise… would be great if Eurovision shook off the stigma and began to attract genuine UK acts

The problem is not ONE act from Eurovision is big here. The obly one who MIGHR be classed as big, but past it, is Blue, but that's due to their Mighty Hoopla-esque nostalgia tours.
