2 of my top 20 ESC songs ever in this heat,appeared 10 years apart, and one of them bombed badly ... chance for redemption (but you all hate it, this week will be my Donny Montell moment )
A reminder would have been nice! I think I would have got I Evighet to equal 6th or a point behind. Joan and Euroband would have been a lot closer too.

It was a travesty Elizabeth didn't get through:mad: You should have voted!!!!!!
Hopefully when the BBC make the announcement they'll check that the artist is in the country at the time and how about making the song available for download immediately. Even with the cocked-up announcement last year Engelbert received huge press coverage and if the song had been available it could've made top 10. Will they ever learn that waiting till the week of Eurovision to release the song is pointless.
no song by Engelbert Humperdinck was ever going to make the top 10 whenever it was released. After 7.5 million Brits watched it on the night all it could manage was the dizzyting heights of #60.
The main sticking point he could end up winning Sanremo which might be a sticking point.
It seems it has been confirmed that it's Mengoni for Italy as other Italian media outlets are reporting the news. They also say that he hasn't chose the song yet and they are considering also non San Remo songs from his new album.
At least you are all spared from having to watch the never ending San Remo final.

You appeared to have missed the point. Of course it's going to flop after finishing second bottom but release it when the hype is huge and it'll have a much greater chance of being a hit and it may even have a second wind come Eurovision. It's the arrogance of the BBC who still think they're in with a chance of winning Eurovision regardless of the song that they release it in Eurovision week or in the case of Jade, the week after.

You really think viewers thought 'i like that song, i'm going to buy it.... but it finished 2nd bottom, maybe not'?
Why would the BBC have any say when a record company releases a song?
It's the BBC, they're all powerful.:p;) If a record company had free reign surely they'd make the song available immediately it's announced like in other countries especially in the "digital age". Releasing during Eurovision week has been the tradition since......Teddy Carr and Pearl Johnson.

Hardly any act outside of ESC release the song and put it up for sale the same time. Two months is rare but several do this. 5 weeks seems common

Scooch finished second bottom yet 'Flying The Flag" got to #5 on the British chart. The song was also released during the week of the contest.
MelFest Heat 3: 7 - 8.30
A Dal Heat 3: 7.15 - 9.05
Dziesma Final: 7.25 - 10.45
Eesti Laul: 7.35 - 8.50
San Remo: 8 - the end of time
You mind reader -- was just going to ask...:D It's a 7.15 start for me...;)
Thanks. I might try and keep Sweden, Estonia and Latvia going at the same time.
