I reckon it'll be good.
He's a great singer and performer, and now we know there are some decent songwriters involved as well, we could end up with an excellent chance.

Embarassing. Could you possibly get a more irrelevant out of date artist?

What were the BBC thinking?

Don't be hasty to poopoo it, look how Dino Merlin did in 2011.

Oh stop being flippant, we've not heard the bloody song yet I'll be the first to whine if that turns out crap but it's a SONG contest not a SINGER contest.

And people knew who Rybak was before he won? Or Lena? Or nearly every other artist who even enters this competition??

A complete embarrassment; this is actually going to be more humiliating than being represented by Josh Dubovie.

I am extremely patriotic but I honestly hope we come last to teach the BBC a lesson.

At least we know he can hold a note.

Unlike:

Atomic Kitten
Josh Dubovie
Bucks Fizz
etc etc etc.

I'm in two minds:

It'll either be ridiculous in a William Shatner-does-disco kind of way, or

It'll be akin to the later work of Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Bettye LaVette, though with a less seminal artist...
