I'm sorry to read all about this terrible situations at pre-parties. I wasn't aware of that. Now I get what's going on.

Hope he can bounce back in Malmö, because Dizzy is such a good song.

Fair play. How'd he manage to get a spot on there. I've noticed he's dressed slightly more conservatively on American television, :LOL:

I didn't even know it was airing! When I was in New York a few weeks ago, they were trying to get audience members for Jimmy Fallon - I'd have said yes if it was Kelly Clarkson! All filmed at Rockefeller.

He was also finally listed on Radio 1 this week, and Radio 2 a couple of weeks ago.

Kelly clarkson? Why not the Lorainne Kelly show? Is it because she can never be asked to host her own show

I'm kind of sad about the way this entry is going
It feels like there is zero momentum behind this one. Whatever hype there was seemed to burn off before the song was revealed. Maybe things will turn around once we get some idea of how the song might look on stage, but I'm honestly not optimistic about how Ollie will be doing next month.

I feel the same...I'd love it to be a surprise success now, but I don't think it will be.

Probably is Lorraine but Kelly is standing in for her

Lorraine will be busy trying to convince the tax offices she's Lorraine Kelly acting as Lorraine Kelly on the talkshow Lorraine in order to avoid paying shed loads of tax.

I loved her reasoning. Wasn’t it something like she talks to people she sometimes dislikes and has to put on an act! Absolute hun

The verses of this song are extremely neutral and forgettable. The chorus is pleasant, but very generic (following the 'I Will Survive' structure), except for the last part of it - it's quite obvious that the ending to the chorus was made that way to step just a little bit away from the overwhelming predictability.

It's a song in Minor, leaving a melancholic impression. Not sure it will be that much of a televote success, but maybe the juries will give it a fair amount of points.

From me, it's another one of those 4's. :LOL:

I would agree momentum has stalled for Olly which is a shame, but I think whoever was representing the UK this year would struggle in the year after it was hosted on home soil. It's a bit after the Lord Mayor's show kind of feeling at the moment.

Then again I am seeing very little momentum in general this year aside from the die hard fans. I think other world events may be having a part to play in that, but equally it feels there's less about Eurovision in general this year. I might be projecting a little there as I'm extremely unenthusiastic about it this year (a big shame), but it doesn't feel as widely discussed this year as it was last year...
