On version 3 of this thread after the previous two got locked for exceeding the post limit due to how awesome and epic our act and song were.

“@CBHall Could it be one of the Newman brothers as two Eurovision journalists both followed them at the same time”

Could it be John Newman?

Seen following some Eurovision accounts.

“Nearly time...”

Plus he teased a new album/single coming out at the beginning of the month.

I think it could be him you know.

 

[Chrisiam]

Maaaybe? But he isn't with BMG which is the issue so unless they are swapping brothers with Universal I can't see it myself but I am always open to be proved wrong!

Unless hes signed on a one off basis to do it with BMG?

 

[Chrisiam]

I dunno, that would require a lot of work and negotiations between the two labels to get something like that off the ground.

 

[EscUKFan]

On which page do we start discussing arenas?

Ideally Manchester Arena as I work there, but wouldn’t mind it being held back home in the East Midlands.

 

[Chrisiam]

Nah, when we win we can host it in my backyard, I'll even get a paddling pool. But you'll have to bring your own water.

Maybe thats why theres been a delay in annoucing the UK Entry perhaps.

 

[Leydan]

London wont host it. With the current attitude of the country it can't be London. Because London gets everything. Not to mention it would be so expensive for many people to stay there as it's already pricey there without an ESC boost. Manchester, Cardiff, Sheffield or perhaps Glasgow seem like more likely candidates. Should we win.

 

[Leydan]

I love how we all speak like we're gonna win. I can't wait for all this to come crashing down Thursday and we return our usual disappointed selves.

I've heard from a reliable source that the song is an absolute bop sung by Adele and Sam Smith, featuring Kim Woodburn.

If it's not Kim...

 

[Leydan]

G:son has had a VERY successful eurovision song in the past 10 years.

France watch out.

 

[Mimmon]

If John Newman rumours are true I would love to it...

Yeah but G:son is not with BMG, the only songs in the last decade that have a connection to BMG that I can find are:

Toy (Netta) - Composers: Doron Medalie & Stav Beger
Rise Like a Phoenix (Conchita Wurst) - Composers: Charlie Mason, Joey Patulka, Ali Zuckowski & Julian Maas
Only Teardrops (Emmelie de Forest) - Lise Cabble, Julia Fabrin Jakobsen & Thomas Stengaard

That'll be a song written by Serhat Hacıpaşalıoğlu, famed songwriter of the legendary "Say Na Na Na" then

 

[Chrisiam]

He's written a song for us called "Say Na Na Na Or Else (I'm not Joking)", the cover art for the single is Serhat done up to look like Joker from The Suicide Squad and he's holding a gun at the camera.

To be fair, "I didn't know" charted in the US.

Yeah but G:son is not with BMG

Your last year's entry from Universal was co-written by Swedish contestant from Warner.

I swear, being an UK Eurovision fan these past few weeks has felt like I am a ruddy detective.
