Tiger Lily should have been the title originally

She’s not performing until tomorrow

Performance on BGT. aS-mxhZNzag Over the years the amount of songs he could of been invited back to sing like ‘You Are The Reason’ or ‘Biblical’ that would benefitted from a live performance and he ends having to sing this.

Sounds quite good from that snippet

He performed another new song at Big Weekend which was far better than this and should have been the lead single.

Next track he is teasing is with Blake Shelton. Sounding good from the preview!

Wrong thread

Didn’t really grab me on first listen might be a grower though. cQWOc8I__aw

I imagine a performance on the BGT live shows will be likely

We should have sent Jordan Clarke with ‘Freaks’ in 2019. The public don’t ever get it right. Although for some reason they hyped up Michael Rice on the night so much that that no one else really stood a chance. I think the BBC just wanted give a bit of publicity to the 2nd series of All Together Now than thinking ‘Bigger Than Us’ had a chance On another note I know Olly didn’t get a decent result. I do still think he was step forward compared to what we were sending over the years. His name got a lot of non BBC Radio stations and TV channels interested in Eurovision. He’s also performing at Radio 1’s Big Weekend so I do honestly think the BBC thought he would have done well.

This is fantastic!

The verses sound a bit Dua Lipa’s ‘Training Season’ but liking the sound of it!

The single is called ‘What Do You Believe In’ and it’s out at 6pm next Thursday. Presumably Radio 1’s hottest record.

It’s out on May 24th! Looking forward to hearing it!

2010 was a complete embarrassment for us. The entry just had nothing going for it whatsoever. The song would have sounded dated in the 80’s , the lyrics were awful and it wasn’t particularly sung very well and the staging was terrible. To me that was an entry that deserved 0 points.

Ed must of changed plans as he said last year that he had big pop album coming this year. He said recently that it was finished . I do think it’s a good idea for him to take a break from releasing though.

I think part of the appeal to UK viewers is tuning to see how bad our Eurovision entry is. Then if we send something decent like Sam and there is a bit of hype the papers pick up on then they tune in to see what all the fuss is about. Take that away and you end up losing a lot of casual viewers.

Blue I think was the best out of the “had their day” artists. They had quite a lot of hype on the lead up to contest as well. The problem was the song. ‘I Can’ was just a bit naff. They needed something the jury’s would’ve liked because they came 5th in the televote probably on name alone.

It’s always going to be radio friendly because of it being a BBC One and Radio 2 entertainment show. So if you we are going to send middle of the road pop we need the staging and performer to elevate it like Sam did.

The jury votes last night though weren’t entirely based on the song either. ‘Hurricane’ would have been giving more points by the jury if it was any other country’s entry. They needed to make sure it didn’t win last night as they knew it would do well on the televote.

With hindsight and Olly being announced last year he really should have teased maybe 3 or 4 songs on TikTok or even release an EP in January that he had been working on and seen what one got the best reaction. Instead of letting the BBC choose as they don’t always get it right or want to get it right. I think the early announcement of the artist was a wasted opportunity. I really can’t see how the BBC and Polydor thought ‘Dizzy’ was going to do well. I wouldn’t have selected it as a lead single never mind a Eurovision entry.

I can see Eurovision fever within the BBC being well and truly over now and them giving up. I think the BBC team really thought they cracked it with Olly and had a contender and won’t look at the bigger picture of why it didn’t do well.

No it wasn’t shocking and I think that was the problem. I think when they decided to do this staging they were hoping to shock and get people talking and cause a bit of controversy. The problem is no one really was interested with everything else in the competition that was going on. Visually it looked great but apart from that it had nothing going for it.

It’s definitely no ‘My Lovely Horse’

Israel right now
