UK 2014: Molly - Children of the Universe

[Pingu]

Thanks Agnetha, got an idea myself:

"Just chatting on Skype with the UK ‪#‎eurovision‬ 2014 entry. Hint - they like to eat scrambled eggs for dinner. "

My FB is off the hook atm.

I was GOING to say that the joke is a bit old now, but somebody has ACTUALLY just posted this in that group.

Jesus Christ they're morons in there.

 

[Madison]

What group?

 

[Penelope]

'Official UK at Eurovision - Fan Club'. It's probably the worst collection of individuals ever.

 

[Pingu]

The one Penny mentioned. 'The Official UK at Eurovision - Fan Club' which if nothing else will piss you off from a grammatical point of view.

I joined it last night. Terrifying.

Latest rumours Rylan Clark and Belinda Carlisle. Not as a duo, but I wouldn't put it past the Beeb.

 

[rhythmbandit]

I wouldn't object to Belinda Carlisle..she has a new greatest hits album in March and is touring the UK on the Monday after the final.

 

[Loufoque]

I would enjoy Rylan. He knows how to put on a show.

 

[VoR]

I've said it before, if we had to have an oldie last year, 'Sun' would have been GREAT.

Rylan has just confirmed it isn't him, for about the dozenth time. I'd actually rather Wet Wet Wet than an outright novelty act like him anyway.

 

[PopLife]

Rylan - "I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'm not doing Eurovision. So there's honestly no need to keep tweeting me and placing bets! X"

OK, one down, the rest of B, C, D,....Z-listers and people with their last hit when I wasn't even born yet left now.

 

[monsta]

His poppers o'clock remix of Kissing You on his X-Factor audition was truly life affirming.

Plus he would piss off all the Eurovision loons.

QUEEN!

 

[Sharla]

I wouldn't object to Belinda Carlisle..she has a new greatest hits album in March and is touring the UK on the Monday after the final.

I adore Belinda, love her to bits, but a woman pushing 60 and coked up to her labia is possibly not the UK's best option.

 

[Kaleen]

Is she still on the coke?

[Diddy]

Presumably not the same rumours we are hearing then

 

[VoR]

I'd love to believe it, but that guy 'broke' that Atomic Kitten were going about an hour before Bonnie was announced IIRC, so I wouldn't put much stock in it.

 

[rhythmbandit]

He works for the Daily Star, so it's more than likely a load of nonsense, but there is quite a big discussion going on on his twitter account about the rumours.

 

[VoR]

 

[Madison]

Oh thank god. I don't think I could take a third one in a row.

 

[Cathy de Bourgh]

I tweeted something about going for a fag break with whoever our entrant is. I presume that's been put up somewhere else by now?

 

[Kratz]

He has also mentioned Paloma Faith following that tweet, but she rubbished those rumours last week. I doubt he knows anything.

 

[Diddy]

Edit: I dunno, I heard it was H from Steps and Ian Watkins from prison doing a duet

 

[Kaleen]

Did you get the email? It did have specific instructions

 

[Diddy]

Ooh shit, didn't read the end bit, thought they were just embargoing the stuff that happens there. Should I edit? Could you too?

 

[Penelope]

at an email getting some gays in the background for the video of an unnamed "TALENTED NEW ARTIST" being EMBARGOED!

 

[Madison]

How can a private citizen be subject to an embargo

Are they going to kick Kala out of OGAE?

 

[Kaleen]

I think they embargo the Strictly Result, don't they? I guess they can't force people not to say anything but they did say they were trusting people not to say anything. The OGAE president has been trying to strengthen links with the BBC for years.

 

[Madison]

Anyone, would one of you anonymously put the text of the email in the Moopy ggggg.

 

[COB]

Can't wait for them to announce Kala as the UK entry

 

[Kratz]

This.

The term embargo is legally meaningless. There are no consequences.

 

[Sharla]

Can't wait for them to announce Kala as the UK entry

Name dropper, name dropper - I ain't no name dropper!

I'm silent as the grave and known for my discretion
If you tell me I'm a gossip I'll be teachin' you a lesson
Just 'cause I know so many c'lebs don't mean I have to share stuff
I only tell 'cause you're my pals and half the time it's pure guff

Name dropper, name dropper - I ain't no name dropper!

(Written with love)

 

[Kaleen]

It's not about legal consequences. It's about if someone asks you not to say something then of course it's up to you whether you say something or not., but because it seems the BBC have got involved with them then they're trying to play ball. I have put the text in the usual.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

What is this shit?

 

[RobotBoy]

Yeah, why is an embargo meaningless just because it doesn't mean anything legally?

Perhaps we should abolish the term embargo and replace it with "Please don't be a cunt and ruin this for everyone".

 

[Madison]

Perhaps they should use the term embargo, only when it is an embargo, and not use legal language when it's not applicable.

Organisations shouldn't misuse the law. If it's a polite or passionate request, they should say so.

cf The Olympic opening ceremony

 

[Sheena]

I imagine it's been "ruined for everyone" from the moment they picked the entry...

 

[Kratz]

Which would be far more accurate.

There was no information in that email anyway, beyond details of an event and a reference to the 'Great British Public' whoever they are.

Well that's how I saw it really, it was a content-free 'spoiler' that didn't say where it was or who it was. I just thought it would save some sleepless nights for people who are worried about Lulu

The fact that she MERELY EXISTS keeps me awake MOST nights

 

[VoR]

"Talented new artist" was the bit that caught my eye.

It might be misdirection but it'd at least appear to rule out Geri/Wet Wet Wet/Beverley Craven.

There's no way they'd choose a total unknown, so I'm thinking a reality contestant must be a strong possibility. Andrea Begley or that screeching woman Will.i.am liked perhaps?

I don't imagine will.i.am would push Leah down that route. Although who knows what the BBC may offer him if he did? I imagine Andrea Begley would be more likely, from the perspective of having nothing to lose already. It could kill Leah's career before it has begun.
