They’ve lost out to The Alhambra in Bradford I’ve heard

 

[HalamaK]

I'm just worried that if this thing isn't hosted in Cardiff it's gonna be a another fiasko.

TaP did everything right with Sam and they did most things right in 2023. BBC has done most things wrong for the last 20 years. I just don't trust them

Rina simply MUST do it next year if this is true. What an easy job the BBC would have to just ask her (and give her creative control obvs)

Presuming her schedule fits for a second time. It's not as easy as just her being willing.

 

[Pingu]

Yes, even the first time around, there's nothing to say it would have actually happened even if she had got back to them in time with what I assume would just have been an initial expression of interest.

 

[HalamaK]

It's 9 months till competition, please do the work NOW BBC. Don't wait until January

Ah, the joyful innocence of someone who hasn’t lived under this SHIT for twenty plus years…

Paging Tricia Penrose!

 

[rhythm bandit]

Not sure how much weight this carries but this metal band want to do it.



I say why not? Try a different route and do something the UK haven't sent before.

 

[Sheena]

I say KISS MY ARSE

 

[VoR]

Because that worked so well for Germany...

 

[dmlaw]

Because that worked so well for Germany...

It didn't work for Germany because they sent a bad metal song and anyone who might have been inclined to vote for a metal song was already supporting Finland or Australia. No one is suggesting that we send a metal song which is worse than two similar entries in an attempt to be different.

 

[Madison]

Let S4C pick the entry.

Unser Lied für Liverpool offered slim pickings this year, not many options could've avoided last place

 

[Lucille]

We could teach a turd how to sing?

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

We could teach a turd how to sing?

Her from CAPPELLA on standby as we speak

HI GIRLS

 

[Soldi]

Oh loves we’re not going to start kidding ourselves that Rina will be our 2024 entry are we? (Happy for this post to be quoted in March when it turns out she is though).

 

[Penelope]

I'm currently putting my PINK POUND on SALLY THOMSETT

[Dark Carnival]

Festival di St Albans

Literally next door to… HEMEL HEMPSTEAD

 

[auretz]

 

[Penelope]

@Jacques time to start the thread

 

[Lucille]

Give him a second he’s typing with one hand.

 

[Kratz]

Who?

 

[HalamaK]

She doesn't look 14.

 

[MegaDolly]

 

[COB]

Huge Danny! He did production work on Houdini - I'm assuming this will be an unused song they worked on for her next album?

 

[COB]

Oh I've read the article now. Olly Alexander? I like him a lot but doesn't he have a famously VARIABLE live voice?

 

[ButterTart]

I thought they’d announced that they already had our song sorted?

 

[Pingu]

I thought they’d announced that they already had our song sorted?

They MORE OR LESS said our act had been chosen (nothing about the song), although there was definitely room for manoeuvre in their wording.

 

[VoR]

I mean, Olly’s great and all, but that would be a CHOICE after what happened with Mae

 

[GNL]

Olly Alexander is dreadful. Jess Glynn for the gays and theys.

 

[Kratz]

If it's a chart topping singer AND actor then my mind immediately goes to Tina Barrett?
