OK so the twitter rumour of a reveal today was clearly false. I’m honestly really hoping and keeping everything crossed that it’s Birdy with Raincatcher. I‘ve had the song on repeat and in my head since Friday, it would be such a classy entry from us and something that sounds totally unique this year.

Really not sold on the snippet of Mae’s song. Without being too disrespectful, it sounds like a song that would have been selected for and went on to win “You Decide” back in 2017.

Agreed on the You Decide comment.

What makes me think it isn’t Birdy is: why release a 4 minute version a week before, which would then require a drastic cut?

Don't give up hope, I think Spaceman was 3.40 and released the week before...

Ok will keep the hope (also for a good remix)

Rooting for Freezing but the fact we'll likely have an actual pop star doing Eurovision for us - it's about damn time.

Well fuck. I don't know if that'll hit at Eurovision, or how instant it is to grab votes from those who only hear it for the first time on the night, but it is certainly a BANGER.

I love that instrumental melody riff at the start of the chorus.

This being the entry would definitely take the edge of an impending ticket sale nightmare

I feel like there would be better Rina options - but maybe it'll be revamped to give it a bit more oomph...

I wouldn't put it past the UK delegation to be wringing their hands saying "well we almost won last year, let's go back to sending something that can't go higher than 16th. It's cheaper."

Holy is ENORMOUS and would be phenomenal

Tap Music just posted about the Calvin and Ellie song dropping on Friday. They wouldn't, would they..?

 

[sammidrew]

Calvin has already said no on that one.

How is this linked with Eurovision? Could it not just be a revamp for her next single?

I think everyones just speculating that any female who sings could be doing Eurovision at this point.

A revamp that happens to reduce the song length to 3mins, released the day after the UK are announcing their entry?

Either it is an extreme coincidence and Rina’s team are really playing these rumours to their advantage or Rina is our entry.

I guess it's the fact it's being revamped to the 3 min mark, and it's seemingly being released on Thursday (the day we've been told is the day our entry will be revealed)

I really hope it's Rina, for the coop that it would be to get someone like her

That's pretty positive then! First listen I got Loreen vibes in the best way. What a battle it would be.

Where's the proof of the revamped track's length? That'd be a huge coincidence if someone can find the receipts. Really hope it's Rina; trying not to get carried away!
