What do you think we will do next year? I think it will be a group again, two females have won back to back so time for a change

I think a group.. I think the best thing is to go for a boyband

One Direction / Union J / The Wanted style.. something poppy

Best thing IMO.

I think the BBC will be stuck a little bit. They chose Molly who is very unique and original artist, has a specific sound and was certainly different to other acts at the ESC. However we have always struggled with poppy songs in the recent past, and with the Netherlands doing well with a similar style choice to Molly in it being different and quirky, the BBC would think that choice could work. Do they stick and go all in again, or send a safe poppy song and hope to do. Hmm

I don't know what to expect to be honest, It is the BBC after all.. haha

I have a few songs that I should send them, I finished another one today :D

I think if I have any luck it will be for Latvia or somewhere like that.

I am getting into the studio next month to get them recorded properly, but when I do I will give you a listen. I cannot make the publicly available due to rules but I can send you a secret link :D

Also it is 4/1 to use a 'Song For Europe' style selection for 2015
Where did you get that from? And which song for europe style? :lol: The ones with the radio semi final? just the one nighter thing? the internal artist and we select song? or the old style with like 14 regional juries voting?

It is pretty vague 'Song For Europe' style

so they could get away with not paying out if it isn't exactly the same lol

But I think they mean a NF

Yes just a national final. If they do go for one, I think the most we could expect is an internal selection of the singer and we choose the song or a final of like 3/4/5 songs. I think for BBC introducing the internal selection and we choose song could work best.

I have no problem with what they did this year...I think it was mostly positive and good ;)

HOWEVER the biggest problem and issue was their bragging "we wrote this song especially for Eurovision" xfacepalm It's pretty clear they put a restrictive hold on Molly and narrowed the possibilities for the song xdoh If they had just given Molly a free reign to write whatever she wanted I bet the song would have been completely different xshrug

I would like to see them do the same thing next year they did this year except to give the artist/writer more freedom with the song

It's so depressing because many countries had Molly at a good jury score, so if the televote was just in the top 10 in some of this countries, she could've got around 78 more points, putting her with 118 points and 6th place.
