Eurovision 2023: Mae Muller announced as UK act for song contest

[Chippy_Tea]

Here is the song.

With 26 countries taking part do you think she will be in the top or bottom half, bearing in mind Space Man by Sam Ryder came second last year with the biggest cheese-fest i have heard in years.

I assume it'll be 12 from Ukraine.

Never heard of her but then I'm a million years old and still have a wind up gramophone

Cheers Tom

Doesn't sound like a winner to me but then I'm as Jurassic as @soupdragon

I tried to get tickets for the netherlands final, didnt get any and covid cancelled it anyway. didn't even try this time when there are millions vying for around 6000 tickets. no chance. Should have put it on in cardiff stadium so eurovision fans can sample the 'exciting experience' of trying to leave cardiff by train after the event, that is normally reserved for rugby fans

As for the song it reminds me off an Azerbaijan entry or was it cyprus 2012?

It's OK, top 10 but not top 5 kind of material? It's one of those songs that isn't immediately "obvious" (compared to eg the Finnish "Cha Cha" entry) but grows on you, it's a real earworm and is very commercial. So it depends a bit on how well her team can get it out there in advance, as it might not do so well among people hearing it for the first time on the night. Video is very slick - apparently her aunt is a top-end music video director. First it has to beat the Israeli "Unicorn" which will probably appeal to a similar demographic but is a bit more "obvious" and seems to be quite a few people's #1 choice from what I've seen.
