“My name will be forever associated with Eurovision… that’s mind-blowing.”

Selected through an open submission process, this year’s entry for the United Kingdom is Electro Velvet. Following in the grand tradition of Coco, Bucks Fizz, and (errr) Ryder, Alex Larke and Bianca Nicholas carry the hopes and dreams of a nation on their unknown shoulders.

Let’s try to alter that balance now in our next In-depth Insight as Ewan sits down with the duet that brings the Charleston to Eurovision, the Rolling Clones to Austria, and the echoes of The Voice…

    I’ve never seen Swedens Mr. Eurovision, Christer Bjorkmann, getting as upset as he did when remarking on this entry in the SVT “Before Eurovision” show hosted by Sarah Dawn Finer. That the country that has given the world the best pop music ever written (I’m paraphrasing here) offers this piece of crap is a scandal, nothing less.
