I've just uploaded my new video on what the BBC need to do to do well in Eurovision 2020, lemme know what you think!

I don't really like the mindset that BBC's delegation 'might have' in this decade. In my opinion, it looks like BBC is just extracting money out of Eurovision : they will do as low-effort as possible to at least get a representative/song, because they know they will get a lot of money out of its viewership. And then they will laugh about their flopping entry because 'Hey, at least we get rich from this joke contest! We don't have to do anything! It's cheap money!"
If this is what the delegation of United Kingdom is about, I would love to HAVE them be pressured, protested, or petitioned by the UK Eurovision fans so that it becomes a freaking issue until they don't have any choice but to make a change, or just to disband the delegation entirely. This delegation of the decade surely does not give any figs about the contest whatsoever.

My favourite singer is Marina.
I love all her albums.
Her songs are so original and catchy. And some of her songs make me cry.
I pay a lot of attention to her lyrics as well. I love her meaningful songs.

Me too!
Her songs give me all kinds of feelings. It's amazing how she reaches all the strings we have within.
I especially love Savages, which gives me chills under the skin from the first to the last word, every time I listen to it.
Since she's
Her voice is gold, that theatrical dark rich tone and higher register with lyrical undertones she has is fantastic.
Rather than a ballad, I think I'd prefer her to sing a banger along the lines of "Froot"
aka my ultimate favourite track from her.No way the UK would end up receiving 3 points with that.
I mean, we can dare to dream before the BBC finds "Storms part 2", right?

There are only a small handful of countries who would still be allowed to use English under a reinstated language rule (just and I believe?), and I'd like to see all of them branch away from it. I actually think Europe would absolutely eat up something in Gaelic/Welsh/etc., and I can provide a pretty airtight guarantee that it would be better than what the UK are currently serving.*

savages openend my water gates so hard!
Is the UK viewpoint towards Eurovision really that low now? I mean... most of the news about UK after season 64 is 'UK lost in a defeat' 'UK did even worse than we thought' 'Terry Wogan said the voting is ridiculous' and even Lorraine Kelly did those awful things on her talkshow. It's like... the UK media would not stop victimizing themselves unless they earn the respect they want. I want to know if this is really the case, because that would mean no support whatsoever from the media regarding Eurovision.

UK is the biggest mystery of Eurovision to me, in modern times.
In a competition were most countries now are trying to sing in english to have worldwide appeal, the country which has always produced top level artists, singing in english... can't seem to come close to winning.

Media write stuff that people will read so obviously emotional self-victimizing articles are the easy way how to get a lot of reads effortlessly... They do that in most countries no matter the truth. The real problem lies with the people in charge - it's them who can get the UK to send a good entry with a respectable result. Once they do that, the people's (&media's) viewpoint will change.
Any chance the people in charge will be changed? That could help, probably better than changing the broadcaster completely.
Also, the first step in the right direction should be sending an artist who has an actual connection to their song and not assign random songs to random people.

Ohhhh I didn't expect to see a Suede video here. We're not worthy, it'd be a dream.

There is one aspiring singer/songwriter from Northern Ireland who's graduating from St. Andrews later this month. His name is Luke McWatters. You'll find a video of him performing with an American Coed on YouTube. You might want to check out their duet, and try to convince all doubters that they could put the UK back in contention in the land of Miffy next May. You all know what happened the last time the UK sent an act with an American female singer...they WON!
