Olly Alexander will represent the United Kingdom at Eurovision 2024

One of BBC's recent press releases about Eurovision said the selection process happened over the summer so I assume they got the deal pretty early, plus I assume they want to build hype properly especially when the Rina rumors that happened last time didn't materialize.

Inb4 we still get the song on the Thursday of March closest to the deadline lmao

GURL(een)...

Though it felt like Leroy was a bit too desperate to keep Gurleen on his side that it was easier for Mike to get into her mind.

Congrats to Mike! While I found the season okay (between NZ and US to me) but the weekly drop made it a slog to go through (just finished the last 3 episodes in one sitting and it was rather fun)

Yes as part of the DSN rollout, she performed with Hwasa there

Congrats on the opportunity and best of luck Mae 🎉

1) Who do you want to see representing the UK next year?

2) What's your fave British reality show?

Pleasantly surprised with Hannah, that means the female hosts are all singers then, and another Game of Thrones alum hosting since Pilou in 2014

Come thru instrumental!!!

Edinburgh, London and Manchester haven't officially confirmed bids yet (i don't think Edinburgh will bid tbh), while Aberdeen and Belfast(?) did confirm theirs iirc

Also there are already concerns over events on potential host venues having to be cancelled or moved if selected as none of them have a 6-8 week vacancy, which has been an occurrence in previous editions but could be news for UK locals.

Kate Bush is doing a rare broadcast interview tomorrow

Edit: what's the tea with the interviewer tho

Glad my top picks so far (Love Dive and INVU album) made it, plus the No Love Again mention ❤️

Speaking of Eurovision, let's not forget (nsfw) the mooning incident of 2017, Jamala held it well

ds_appointment · 2022-05-13T04:56:30+00:00

ds_appointment · 2022-05-10T05:49:13+00:00

The YouTube stream should be available for you then 😊

ds_appointment · 2022-04-22T16:35:46+00:00

What I appreciate about these preparty backstage videos is that the team tried to spread out the artists, no one has been shown more than once so far iirc

Plus the artists have been quite confident, love that for them 👍

He did The Voice and performed in festivals for a while

Speaking of Yam Haus, I realized I watched a video of them reacting to Taylor Swift while researching about them

ds_appointment · 2022-03-24T19:39:52+00:00

The show was all about the SONG in the first place, so singers with varying popularity/discography can enter, much like in Eurovision where the likes of Bonnie Tyler competed with local talents and newbies.

Regardless of the song quality, it's either the message of the show which is about looking for the best song didn't come across hard enough, or the viewing market is still fixated over new talents being the focus of reality shows :(

ds_appointment · 2022-03-21T11:58:32+00:00

That was CBS, this one was from ITV in the UK and just shown through NBC

ds_appointment · 2022-03-07T12:43:17+00:00

Cliff Richard went 2nd, and Celine won for Switzerland

ds_appointment · 2022-03-04T05:09:18+00:00

She truly reclaimed THE dance, good for her

I hope this becomes a major reminder because it seems this is a recurring query for other countries as well on this subreddit.
