I am following the thread because I am interested in the entry and what it sounds like, but I don't feel the need to like something because it will do well at ESC, or to be hopeful about a good result, rather a good song.

I find it sometimes feels like most British ESC fans would happily back something as awful as It's My Time because of its chances at ESC, rather than a much better song that might bomb.

I think a lot of people hope for both: a good song and a good result.

It’s also valid for some people to want the good result as their priority - some engage with the competition/contest (who knows) as a competition/contest rather than as a route to discover new music they love, and that’s also fair enough. Each to their own.

I'm sure Remember Monday are fine but the UK artist selection every single year feels like they're about 5 years behind the trends. Who was searching for a country threepiece girl group in 2025???? Like, you have to try and play the actual chart game as well as Eurovision.

I have zero hope the song will be cinematic, which is what every winner has captured for years. Every song of theirs is already thin and trite fff

Disagree completely. I personally feel like every one of their songs are great, even the covers. I'm almost a little confused as to why they've gone with a new writer when they already write clever, catchy and melodically complex songs themselves. Have you listened to them a few times? Or just listened to a little bit made a decision on that?

That makes me sad. I hope perceptions of the contest have changed for artists like her. All prejudices aside, it baffles me that any artist would turn down the opportunity to showcase themselves to 100m people. But i can understand its history, etc.

I guess because if it doesn’t go well, artists can lose their credibility in front of 100m and it’s hard to come back from that

Plus 2024 was literally the year that country music surged in popularity in the UK. So Remember Monday makes sense.

Also while I'm here, is it one of the worst band names of all time? Maybe. Then I remember UK girl band names in general... jesus christ.

Parade, Cutebad, Stooshe, needanamebro/Say Now, Unperfect, Remember Monday - yikes!
