So I will just quietly say that there may be one or two nepotism angles at play, but I will leave it at that.
The song itself... well we need to hear the whole thing, but I'm not a fan. But I must say that really it was the visual of the TikTok, her dancing and her attire that gave me a bad...
I think there are shenanigans afoot.
The BBC has been pitch-perfect with how to set expectations and present Eurovision since the start, up to and including Kalush in our NYE fireworks and Het Grote Songfestivalfeest on BBC One.
To drop the ball now doesn't make sense after building so much...
5:30am on Radio 2 is neither an official announcement, nor is it a sign of confidence, so let's hope for some big display later of "you need to be watching BBC 1, listening to Radio 1 or Radio 2 tomorrow morning at exactly 8:23am to hear our winning Eurovision entry!" or something
Well that's exactly the point - I can only see the one track too, Holy, which has 12 shazams, regardless of where you are in the world I'm sure this is the case (sorry I should have made that clearer).
That this person can even see a hidden 'Track 6' suggests they're in the know. This hidden...
Read what I said again, he was just pointing it out. It's absolutely there for anyone to pop onto Shazam and double check - Holy has 12 shazams... which doesn't add up at all, but at least we can verify it from our end.
And there's a mysterious 'Track 6' with all its previous data.
Just to say that the 'Holy is registered twice on the database' guy is back with another potential scoop.
I checked it for myself on Shazam - and Holy does indeed only have 12 shazams whilst sat in her 'Top Songs' section alongside her hits with thousands of shazams. Just to note, Holy is...
I know this is bait, but I've still found no reason to doubt Rina Sawayama. It's not even that she has more proof than Mimi or Mae or Birdy - it's that she has less to prove it's not her.
The Mae rumour/leak? Fabricated by somebody based on little other than a visit to Maida Vale, and spread...
No, I'm not having another year of the whole "SuRie was 8th in the odds after a stage invader" thing to ignore the UK's movement in the odds weeks and days from the reveal.
£500 bets for the UK placed on Smarkets last night, and a couple of £2-300 bets on around the 20th of February when our...
Seen some big amounts of money going for the UK in the last 24 hours (especially a few late last night), some people out there have definitely heard the entry and believe in it.
Well I mean as far as I can tell the 'leak' for Mae is utterly unfounded. She's not BBC/TaP's scene, she's not even Capital. And there's no link there to the degree the others have. People using this Crystal Ball leak to justify her when the UMG hint points to hundreds of potential artists is...
Wow talk about missing the forest for the trees.
All TaP did was select Sam and they played a part in the strategy to reveal him. BBC Studios and Parlophone/Warner were responsible for the rest. A similar BBC team to the one that covers Glastonbury and the Platinum Jubilee concert.
Then of...
