You mean it would be truly sad for a British superstar singer to perform as an interval act at Eurovision when none of them would ever consider representing their country in the contest itself. That's the real shame
That is also quite true. Imagine how the UK representative will feel. Dua Lipa has Albanian origins too right?

I believe she is of Kosovan/Bosnian descent (her parents were from Pristina, and her maternal grandmother is Bosnian) but is generally considered to be of Albanian descent since that's her first language and the language she spoke growing up with her parents at home.
ehhh pls can we stop this importing of global superstars for intervals? The whole Modanna thing was a total trainwreck of epic proportion to bury that idea well and truly. Also as a British Eurovision fan i'll be ever so slightly pissed off that a big star would be prepared to sing as an interval but not actually bother to represent the country there. The Netherlands is hosting, and they have such a strong music industry - use your own talent.

Going in here and bitching about entries and discussing endless topics makes me feel like it's pre-2020 and I love that feeling

I know some(?)/many(??)/all(???) of you will disagree with me: still after last year (which for me was one of the worst editions at least in the new millennium) this feels like an awakening. So many songs I'd like to give 10/10 and we just reached about a quarter! Last year even my top three only had 9/10 and 8/10.

Say what you like about this year's edition so far, but you can't say its not musically diverse!
May I help you?

I would be absolutely fuming if this happened. It would be a complete "FUCK YOU" from the successful UK music industry. Even more so that some of the entries such as Cyprus El Diablo are inspired by the Dua Lipa style.
Also, interval acts such as Justin Timberlake and the tragic Madonna performance (I am a huge Madonna fan) were totally out of place in my opinion. We want local stuff to the country! No big stars. Thank you very much.

I'm not sure why Dua Lipa being an interval act would be an affront to her country? Like no time commitment to BBC, would likely be compensated much more as an interval than by a broadcaster, no pressure of competition, a higher degree of promo (10+ minutes rather than 3, plus headlining). I think just about anyone stands to benefit much more from having the luxury of being an interval than representing the country.
Anyways, I'm pretty indifferent to whether there's a big artist or not. I don't see much harm in it though
