Re: UNITED KINGDOM 2018

Well I remember the arguments people had on the internet in 2016 over who had the right list of NF participants, and all turned out to be wrong so I will take this rumour as false. However if it is true, then as you say it does seem like quite an alternative line up. Which is a massive change from the safe pop path the BBC have gone down for 2016 and 2017. It all comes down to the song but it is interesting. I am very much liking the rumour that we're apparently getting a scoreboard back, it will be fun to watch my fave flop. Also I dare say the song titles seem more interesting than typical BBC titles we've had for our entries literally every year since 2009.

edit: I just read the the digital spy forum and it seems 'Legends' is some tropical pop song and also there will be an international Jury.

As far that rumoured list, well I don't know a single one of them but that Max Murphy seems to have a good voice. I think he could be a good choice with his guitar.

Re: UNITED KINGDOM 2018

What a random list. No more discarded talent show rejects please, I don't care who they are. Anyone else in the line up will be ok possibly. No Steps? Phew!

Re: UNITED KINGDOM 2018

Steps would be good. They are not my favourites but at least they are (were) famous and would generate a lot of interest.

Re: UNITED KINGDOM 2018

If that list is genuine, it really is a load of unknowns with a soap actor shoehorned in to bolster the public interest. Going by what's on YouTube, Judyshouse and Lucie Barat are the most interesting. Jazz v rebellious noise. The soap actor sounds ok and looks nice but I would like original. Jazz may be a good style to send.

Already conflicting information, this site claims that someone called Samir Elshay had his song shortlisted to the final 6.

THAME-based singer/songwriter, Samir Elshay, has recently been given the great opportunity to represent the UK in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest to be held in Lisbon in May.

His song, Crazy has made the final six and has been entered into the BBC 2 show, You Decide, airing on February 7, 2018. If the song wins it will be this years UK entry for the Eurovision song Contest, sung by a chosen female singer/performer.

It's been scandalously deleted. xheat If it was fake why would they delete it? Must be true.

Re: UNITED KINGDOM 2018

[MENTION=4371]Sean[/MENTION] it appears the Samir Elshay rumours are true.

The Sun has revealed the 'female' singing his song 'crazy' as Rachel Clark.

Don't waste your time reading the full article as it is quite possibly the worst news article i've ever read, and from the sun. I assumed it was fake BS, but looking on other forums it seems to be true as Rachel has posted online images of herself with this Samir Elshay and... Hugh Goldsmith who ofc manages our NF and the entries.

Image in spoiler as it is huge


Obviously what happened is that Thame news article was removed because they didn't realise there was an embargo on it, the sun found it and went on the full attack on this singer and then others have found her posts with samir and Hugh.

She has a great voice definitely.

EDIT: also more fuel, she is following Greta Salome who we all know was at the song writing camp.

Re: UNITED KINGDOM 2018

Based on that video she sounds good, is it an indicator it could be an uptempo song for her too?

Imagine her fronting a drum n bass song or something similar, now that would be a nice sea change from the BBC xheat

I hope with every ounce of my being that Queen Margi Clarke is in the UK final :lol:

It would be amazing


She has tried before with this, so who knows

Re: UNITED KINGDOM 2018

Anyone fancy kicking the BBC up the arse and telling them to hurry up with the announcement of songs?

Re: UNITED KINGDOM 2018

Last year the songs were released a week before the selection show so I guess it might be 31st Jan they're out?

Re: UNITED KINGDOM 2018

More than likely. Since they've been using this selection it's been on the Monday of the NF week on Ken Bruce, but with it being a Wednesday this year who knows

Re: UNITED KINGDOM 2018

tbh it's starting to get annoying with all this waiting, I don't get why they hold back and only release the songs a few days before. I'll be even more annoyed if it turns out our NF is meh.
