United Kingdom 2024: Olly Alexander - Dizzy

[C’est la VoR]

Almost certainly absolute bollocks of course. Funny how a couple of years ago this would have been my gay fever dream, and now it would feel like a bit of a backwards step. (I'd still love it, of course).

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

She had her chance and wouldn’t do it

 

[C’est la VoR]

Some muttering that this might mean TAP are on the outs after Mae's underperformance. Again, probably bollocks though.

I doubt the discussions have even begun about next year? Sounds like the usual immediate post-mortem nonsense we get every year just to grab a couple of final headlines before everybody switches off. Didn’t we get Rina, almost immediately, last year? That ended up being bollocks too.

Surely they should start THE MINUTE THE CONTEST ENDS!

I simply cannot countenance such flagrant disinterest and sloth

Apparently Malta was ready to start planning the BARELY MUSIC line-up of Maltasong 2024 the day after the semi but there was some sort of DONKEY STAMPEDE and all the cassettes got broken

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

They can’t even spell her name right!

All quite rude really

SOAPY ELVIS-BAXTON FOR UK 2024

 

[Madison]

Can she sing?

 

[Zu]

Can she sing?

She can TRY

 

[Zu]

I very much took to Måns after witnessing his SPEAK AS I FIND approach on that Eurovisioncast thing and was highly amused by his suggestion that Mae’s singing in the final “could have been nicer”

 

[ButterTart]

Here was me thinking we should probably send a black or Asian artist for the first time in over a decade, while the BBC are chasing the whitest person in history.

 

[C’est la VoR]

LIKE A PRIVATELY EDUCATED ANGEL

Have we ever sent an Asian artist? Unless you count Engelbert Humperdinck having been born in the British Raj.

 

[Apo-KANT!]

HERA BJÖRK WITH A VOLCANIC BANGER PLEASE.

She’s THIN NOW and wasn’t very friendly to Hatari during their 2019 blitz

WE DON’T WANT HER

 

[Zu]

We could get some eternal MF flop who can actually sing

Tarot suggests MARIETTE

@COB would be DELIGHTED!

 

[Zu]

Maybe this is Anne-Lie Rydé’s route back to glory. Give her a G:son / Boström and something to roll round on and the 12s for the UK will POUR IN!

 

[C’est la VoR]

Shirley Clamp has a British father. Just sayin’

 

[Zu]

Apparently MALOU has relatives in Romford

JUST PUTTING THAT OUT THERE

 

[Zu]

Perhaps SVALA would like to represent us. A very commanding stage presence and highly unique look

Actually this year’s Icelandic flop had a lot of HER going on as in FAR TOO MUCH OF HER

I'd take it if it meant she finally made it to Eurovision only to have a last place flop

Not my fault if people don't know when to GIVE UP

Det händer äntligen IDAG

Yeah, it's Jesy Nelson's time.

Not my fault if people don't know when to GIVE UP

The whole SORRY TO BE HERE routine is never going to pay dividends. Maybe an exciting new look featuring wigs donated by IRU will do the trick

Standard rumours the week after the contest = this person definitely won't do it.

And like BOLLOCKS have they even had a discussion about 2024 yet.

They actually send out a smoke signal and reconvene the Eurovision council as soon as the party debris is swept away. First item on the meeting agenda - Fleur East?

I love that the famously nice and kind @COB has such a bizarre arch enemy.

 

[HalamaK]

I throw my support behind Mariette. As Linda B confirms she's one of those that will say yes to anything and the Mans option isn't available now that he's up for hosting duties.

I wonder how Mariette would have fared with IWAS...

 

[ButterTart]

I’d like to hope Tap have learned from this year and adopted a ‘give me Rina or give me death’ approach to their selection process.

 

[Bypass]

Was Rina ever actually in the running? I mean, was there ever actually anything remotely concrete linking to her Eurovision It seems like the online fandom have taken this alternative reality and just ran with it

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

I can EXCLUSIVELY REVEAL that:

- Rina was approached and said no
- Birdie was approached and said yes
- They went with R MAE instead of (1) Birdie and because (2) the preferred song they had they couldn't find the right artist for
- I made this up

 

[Say Sheena-na-na]

To be honest, I'm RIGHT HERE for SONIA 2024

RIGHT THE WRONGS OF MILSTREET YOU BASTARDS.

 

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

If they ditch TaP after Mae they will deserve everything they get.

 

[Soldi Elektronike]

Can we send Padam Padam x

 

[Nancy]

Would anyone like to see Bonnie Langford as the UK's entry for 2024?
