Jegend J would be a guaranteed slay vocally, so I think she's a great option on that alone.

Given everything we know (and love!!!!) about her though I just think she'd think it was way beneath her, unfortunately, even if her own career's barely keeping its head above water nowadays.

I’m not sure - I think she would look at Sam Ryder and think that his low-key national treasure status following Eurovision is exactly what she deserves!

Her main obstacle would be getting bored by the song and starting to add-in 500 vocal runs depending on her mood at the moment…

I feel like the challenge the uk has had in the last 2 years is to get slightly distracted by the previous year but forget a few key things (mostly the importance of an extraordinary live vocal).

In 2023, I think they maybe looked at Chanel’s success the year before, and thought “girl bops can win” and then went with upbeat girl pop, misunderstanding slightly that the reason Chanel did so well was phenomenal live singing combined with non-stop choreo. And then for 2024 I think they looked at Loreen’s success and thought “radio pop songs can win” and went with a catchy pop song, forgetting that Loreen did so well because of phenomenal live singing combined with dramatic staging (plus a big emotional song).

So based on that, in 2025 we should expect from the uk a rap/pop/opera genre defying mix of a song, but probably missing the extraordinary live vocal acrobatics that helped make Nemo’s performance so striking.

(Basically, please think about live vocals BBC…)

Chanel is iconic but that was not phenomenal living singing.

I wouldn't mind if we channeled Ireland and sent a huge cinematic rock/punk anthem like Cassyette



I am fascinated in what they'll do, Eurovision really felt like a non-entity this year once it was done... little to no impact whatsoever whereas I felt the Loreen/Kaarija hype kept the train going a bit longer last year.

Agreed. The only song I was obsessed with was Europapa, and we know how that turned out. And even that was sort of a gimmicky song and I hated the staging. Tattoo and Cha Cha Cha were both much better. Truly two of the biggest Eurovision bangers ever.
