UNITED KINGDOM 2010 - Josh Dubovie - That Sounds Good to Me

[paddyirl]

Why discussing X-Factor really? Even if most of these careers aren't prolonged, obviously the impact of this show is bigger in the UK than an selection for ESC :roll:

Let's say the winner of X-Factor would be send to Eurovision, then Eurovision would have way more viewers and followers in the UK even if this person's career might end just a couple of months afterwards.

As for the Sugababes, they are commercially over now and probably will loose their contract after this new flop album, so eventhough it was good for Jade's career to be picked as a member, she was picked in the wrong time.

Maybe we will see the Sugababes in the Eurovision next year? I'm all for it, I like them and since they are dropping in popularity it wouldn't be too strange if a thing like that would happen.

Then they should just withdraw and stop moaning every year when they do crap. Also the album may not have done so well but they are still successful and it will take more than that for the Sugababes to be dropped. Also it actually charted outside the UK and Ireland which their previous album didn't I believe. The album was also overshadowed by the breakneck speed in which the line up was changed.

I can't believe the BBC demanded a male singer. :roll: Ok for the last two years a male soloist won but the stats show that female singers are more successful in ESC overall.

I think the whole attitude of the British public towards ESC is just like the euroskepticism
which exsists among a lot of British people. Like they bash the EU, the Eurovision, the Euro etc. So really I don't see why they bother enterting. Also I know some British people are pro-European (the intelligent ones ) but a lot really aren't.

The attitude that the British have towards the Eurovision has been created by the BBC who have treated the contest as a bit of a joke. It's no wonder the majority of the British public don't really care about it either way.

He's not a great singer......and the song is pretty drab...

I miss Jade Ewen

 

[94ayd]

...but not her song. IMO, I haven't heard a worse song from Jade, compared to "My Time".

PS So many people with "J" for the UK: Javine, Jade, Josh... There's probably more.

Jemini? Are had you just managed to forget?

 

[94ayd]

For a moment I had a picture in my mind of them but I guess I couldn't recall their name at that time.

 

[Mickey]

Also, James Fox and Jessica Garlick. That makes it six of the last nine.

On that basis I'll predict it now. 2011 - Jedward.

(I'll stop mentioning X Factor now)

 

[94ayd]

I hadn't thought of names but I somehow felt there were more. What a strange country that UK is. They had Scooch and Andy, though.

 

[adamsamways]

I wish we would hear the new version now! If what was said about Gary Barlow is true it doesn't surprise me, it was obvious the BBC wanted a male singer this year and they got it, even though I find our entry even cheesier with a male singer! I dread to think what we are gonna put on stage in May!

 

[ESCGirl]

Well I can't actually believe the Gary Barlow story because how would the BBC have known that the public would chose a male singer when there were 2 females and 2 groups in the national final?

For the love of God no.

the BBC know how the public will vote, especially if only one can sing.

Whilst it is true that Josh gave the only good version of the song, I think Esma would have been in with a shot if she hadn't fluffed her words. There is no way that the BBC could predict with 100% accuracy who is going to win out of a field of six. If the BBC had wanted a male soloist so much then why didn't they just choose a singer internally?

Ah yes but the whole Pete Waterman choosing the 3 finalists thing was a complete farce anyway! He obviously wanted one of the two guys to win it and it made the first part of the show completely pointless and annoying! Just generally majorly unsatisfied with the UK this year more so than ever really.

 

[94ayd]

Why would they want a guy?! Because last two (three ) winners were males?

 

[MrJadeEwen]

... UK song finished hopefully it's MUCH better lol

 

[A-lister]

... UK song finished hopefully it's MUCH better lol

What? Is the studio version ready or what? Where can we hear it?

 

[ESCGirl]

It's ready but it's not been made available to the public yet. This is from Mike Stock's website-
'Just thought I'd give a final update on Josh Dubovie and the song for Europe.We mixed the record on Friday and everyone seems to love it. Josh sounds great and we think the style of the new version is better suited to him. The song will be on the Eurovision compilation album which is released before May 29th but we will also release it as a single in the UK. We'll be concentrating now on developing a stage act for Josh with backing vocalists and a bit of choreography. But mostly it's about rehearsal, rehearsal, rehearsal. I'll give further updates regarding these preparations in due course which will include styling, photo shoots etc. I expect there will be plenty of press and magazine interest and I'll let you know of any major TV or radio appearances. But for the song itself, that's all over and completed; I can do no more.That's it for now.Mike''

Well that doesn't say much really. Hopefully it'll leak soon then if it's ready.

My thinking is that if they want to make the single profitable, they will have to release the song at least a few weeks before the official CD comes out. I'm guessing that it will be the second or third week of April...
