  1. Hopefully! Albania knows how to do a strong vocal!
  2. they need to work on her vocals a bit but other than that jezzzzzuz this is current! I'm loving it!
  3. I'm catching up with entries at the moment because I'm so behind this year! I always leave countries like Latvia till last because they're awful but I must say that I'm loving this 😮 the first like 30 secs is perfection
  4. Diell was pretty great. Any idea when I'm alive is out?
  5. Oh I do hope so! He was rather amazing last time! I don't care if Azerbaijan tries to win in a corrupt manner, they're good at delivering the goods!
  6. Quite a nice song - bottom top 10 maybe
  7. I don't think poland will make the final!
  8. Ok so after even a few more listens, I still think it's awful but it does get stuck in your head. But at the same time, if a horrid song got stuck in my head on the night, would I vote for it? I doubt it! The only saving grace for this song will probably be that there are so many boring ballads - here's to hoping that we get a few uptempo pop songs to come as I really don't want to see this song pick up points on default and do better than molly. Hopefully the jury of music experts will see this as the UK taking the piss and not award it points... If it gets a high jury vote then that really would bring in to question who exactly are these experts! I think Australia needs to reconsider sending a ballad too because they have a Great singer and as the new kid in the class, they could really wipe the floor with contest if they opt for uptempo. I still don't think we have a song of perfection in the contest yet this year but a few very good entries.
  9. So I have listened to this song a few times now and I'm still really annoyed that this is what they have given us. If this really was the best then how horrendous was everything else? There are elements of the song which do get stuck in your head, I agree but everything about it is so poorly done and crap that I don't even want to start to like it. I'd just be making myself like something awful because I want the UK to do well at eurovision ... Maybe them getting the first 27th place would be the most rememberable thing that this song will garner in future memory though ! And to be honest I kinda want it to come last so that it forces big changes at the BBC - another mediocre result and they will plod along with their bbc radio 2 big wigs advising and 'holy grail guy freeman' who talks the talk but never walks the walk. The best we can hope is that a Germany situation happens > they pull out and then the song which the bbc thought was the worst is the only song left available and they have to send that... Which means it'll be amazing because the bbc didn't like it.
  10. The way I would describe this song is 'the music you would hear being played at a kids bouncy castle birthday party 10 years ago' 😂 but yes I'm rather devastated that we got this.. I thought we were going one step up from molly? Can we all petition to have it taken off the bbc?
  11. I've said it before and I'll say it again - guy freeman does not know what he is doing. Worst song EVER
  12. With the sheeeeeer amount of ballads, ann sophie could actually do very well! Although you can totally tell she comes from a musical theatre background with her stage performance 😂
  13. Maybe the press have been invited to the anniversary concert so are picking up interest.
  14. LOL that was A-mazing 😂😂😂😂
  15. Black smoke should win but I don't think it will.
  16. I really like Laing 😮
  17. After the first round I really liked Alexa feser and laing's songs 😝 I can see Andreas Kümmert doing well but he isn't really my taste.
  18. I do love Slovenia - they always send a good song and underperform. Hopefully this will reach the top 10!
  19. Here's to hoping we finally get a great song this year! Molly was good on paper but the song just wasn't catchy or instant enough - if they have a song that is this year then surely we will go top ! (and the delusional hope begins)
  20. Yes he is now leading the uk in the right direction but the last 10 years for the uk have been the worst in it's history at eurovison - totally not all the BBCs fault as there are a million and one factors why this is the case but look at the choices guy has made over the past ten years? There really aren't many wise choices amongst them. I don't see why he shouldn't be replaced? I think there needs to be a huge shake up at the BBC - I'm sure if an internal review took place and the BBC recruited fresh sets of eyes/ industry experts/ or even an executive who has worked for successful countries like Sweden to bring knowledge and a new way of doing things we might be more successful. Change is important in business - especially at the top!
  21. Ah damn - Bulgaria out too? I was hoping for lots of participants for the 60th. EBU should drop fees so more can take part? Maybe extend the big 5 to a big 6 or 7? Might be a bit much but if it secures a good contest and more participants it can't be a bad thing ? Countries like the Netherlands or Sweden that can easily afford might be open to it..
  22. I get that the bbc now understand they need the whole package but I still feel that they aren't putting the song first. The only thing wrong with molly was that the song just wasn't good enough - everything else maybe bar crap backing singers was fine. I think I'd prefer the bbc to maybe get 3 acts who can all sing well and then each of them have 2 songs and the public votes for the best song. We just need something memorable and current - it's not that hard - they are the bbc with a billion contacts and dolla for Christ sake... I think if we don't go top 5 next year that guy freeman needs to be axed.
  23. Jack89 posted a post in a topic in Eurovision Song Contest
    So Ruth is about to release a Spanish only album and her debut song from it 'gigantes' is pretty damn good! Actually think she could do very well in Spain and across South America if she is promoted well. Very promising material. q1vaFIhgg_g
  24. I wanted Croatia to come back =[ Ukraine is a shame too but I thought they had a poor song this year. Out of every country I really want Luxembourg back but it's not going to happen ever again lol
  25. So if Scotland does go independent when will it join eurovision? I'm guessing the bbc will have the rights for the whole uk in 2015 but Scotland will become fully independent in march 2016 but this would be too late to enter in 2016? Unless after the 2015 contest STV work to enter directly after independence ? So 2015,2016, 2017 I wonder when it will be!
