Oh joy - a Danish song to go into the pot for the UK. Just what I crave
I thought You're Not Alone was just about as Danish as I find palatable, but MDF leaves me cold |

One of the good oldies in this playlist. Sadly, weedy has taken a break this heat.

Saara was just on Lorraine on ITV, I think she came off as funny and quirky - but the forums haven't been particularly kind to her this weekend!

According to Emmilie De Forest herself she is writing songs for the UK: You Decide.

I do wonder why any songwriter would really want to submit their song to the UK selection. The BBC is guaranteed to spend no money on the song or performance and it's not going to achieve any level of success from appearing in the selection show.
The one positive, I guess, is lack of competition. If your song has a hint of production quality it'll probably get shortlisted. (Incidentally, the song from BASCA is probably guaranteed a spot judging by this year's turd.) |

If there's a song writing camp in Denmark for the UK entry then they must be really going for it

Hugh Goldsmith did say his big plan was to have songwriting camps this year, the fact they've got EmdF involved is encouraging. Approaching respected Swedish writers has worked for so many countries that we might as well go Danish and see how it works out.

I will open a Eurovision themed contest tomorrow at some point then. I'm off to work now and won't be back on here until late tonight but wanted to throw down a few suggestions for this weeks theme.
Best song by a trio/4 piece group. Best song by a deceased singer(Too morbid?) Best entry scoring only single figures in a final Or if all else fails another round of Best of the 70's or 80's or 90 's. Have a good think and spout preferences on here or to me privately if you wish. Could somebody post a link to our wiki page please. |

I'd love something NF related as it feels like a while since we've had one of those, but it's totes up to you.
I was thinking we could do a best talent show performance at some point, but again, that's one I'm happy to host in a few weeks! |

Gutted that SVT geo-blocked Allsang this summer, I always find it a great come down from Eurovision and watching the odd clip on you tube ain't the same ![]() |

Welcome to the contest to find the weirdest Eurovision moment of all time. Here are the entries you have selected:
1. Gobshitegate (2014) 2. The Riga Beaver (2016) 3. Sir Terry gets a bit mixed up (2007) 4. Jimmy Jump's stage invasion (2010) 5. Manic woman stops clapping (1971) 6. Silvia Night goes crazy (2006) 7. The birth of Lynda Woodruff (2012) 8. Andreas Kummert turns down Eurovision (2015) 9. Spain's inexplicably sinister Eurovision interval act (1969) 10. Eesti Laul's plasticine postcard (2014) 11. Katrina preaching and the mesmeric audience (2016) 12. Kaleidoscopes and stethoscopes in the Israeli national final (1981) 13. Switzerland's Eurovision interval act, with Guy Tell (1989) 14. Greece and Cyprus fail to exchange 12s (2015) 15. John Cobra at the Spanish national final (2010) 16. The Polish mermaid (2016) 17. "I bet it's 69 69 69" (2006) 18. Dana International stacks it (1999) PLAYLIST Within the entry list, we have one special guest entry, think of it like a secret Justin Timberlake, it won't count towards the ultimate FM points but I won't reveal which one it is for now, all will be revealed on results night. Please vote in the traditional Eurovision fashion with points from 12 down to 1, voting closes on Sunday at 5pm. Good luck everyone! ![]() |

Apart from Honey G I think she and Saara are the only ones with any personality. The two *tinfoil tossers* were quite rude and sour grapes afterwards about her. Bad form , shows them up for what they are. ![]() Freddy to go next week , he was dreadful and i thought when he got up and starting lalala ing he'd forgotten the words painful to watch. Not keen on anyone else there really. Honey G i feel is amusing (not a winner) and will be laughing all the way to the bank. Not keen on Emily or Sam. |

Not so many Eurovision artists this year so the guests were a bit disappointing, but Sanna was an excellent host. |

I'd like something NF based as well, since the only NF one we've done this year was the main rejects round. |
