She's on the One Show tonight, according to her facebook.
 
Watching Graham Norton. Can Molly please hurry up? Currently the most unbearable lineup Norton's ever had.

I think she looks great.

She absolutely nails the middle eight every time, it's such a moment. Great performance, but perhaps a little tense? She needs to be hitting the cameras in Copenhagen, but I've no doubt the BBC will have told her that.
 
I liked that she was positive about the whole thing and wouldn't get drawn into negative nancying by Graham in the interview afterwards.

The performance was a bit deer in the headlights for the first half but she definitely warmed up and it was strong vocally, and yes, especially so on the middle eight moment.
 
No.36 on iTunes now - that must be higher than Bonnie ever reached? :D
 
Graham was a fucking DICK to her as well. How come he's able to be completely negative about the entire show, but be the PRESENTER of it?!?!
 
It is certainly doing well. Horrible interview - way to change perceptions, Graham.
 
#48 in this week's chart off the back of Graham Norton - which I think is higher than anything's been the week before the contest in years, except for Blue.
 
I've bought it today as well. Where did it peak on iTunes following the Graham Norton performance? It's #38 now, and #31 and #49 on amazon.
 
Second rehearsal tomorrow morning at around 10am and we'll also know where she'll be singing in the Final at around 11:15.
 
It's so open this year that I think the draw's going to effectively decide the winner. If we're drawn first half I think we're out - if we're second half, game on.
 
If we get drawn first half, it's the sort of song I could see them putting as the opener. I wonder if they'll consider that the UK opened the show two years ago and it's someone else's turn?
 
I'd much prefer us to be second half, but Molly would at least work as an opening number with impact. Engelbert most certainly did not. To that extent I'd rather she be first than something like 7th or 8th.
 
I think the self fulfilling prophecy effect will mean that, as a favourite, DR will place us towards the end of the first half if drawn there.
 
With a somewhat heavy heart, I've just unliked Molly on facebook.

It may seem brutal, but I don't need my feed being clogged up by details of gigs in Loughborough.
 
10th May 2014 is a date I will remember forever. Performing a song that I believe in, on stage with an incredible band to an audience of approx 180 million!

The staging was immense, the support I’d felt from back home in the UK and in Europe was mind blowing and the connection I felt at that moment was magical. Then the results part, well I guess I’d been so focused on delivering a good show I’d almost forgotten about that part! Well it’s safe to say we were a little disappointed, but at least we had a massive cake to eat.

So now what? Well now I continue to do what I’ve always done, make music. But now for the first time I have a record label behind me with a mission to make sure the world hears my music! Wow. I couldn’t be more grateful and excited. We have a 2nd single coming out this summer along with my debut album. It’s a lifetime’s dream and a lifetime’s work. I can’t WAIT for you all to hear it.

My work, like my taste in music is diverse so don’t be expecting an album full of songs that sound the same! I’m proud of each and every one of them. So keep an eye/ear out for me over the summer, on the radio and at festivals and shows all over the place and THANK YOU for listening and supporting me this far. Glad to have you apart of the journey.

I wonder if this second single will actually see the light of day?
 
I don't see why not.

Although the result was underwhelming, I don't feel like she's come back with the same whiff of "failure" as the majority of other acts from the last decade. I think the reaction generally has been that it was a good song, which Europe didn't really like.
 
Oh Moll, good luck to you. :(

I really hope she has a decent career from this so that it encourages other good UK artists that Eurovision is a fantastic platform.
 
She got to play the BBC Introducing Stage at Glastonbury, which is quite a lovely coup for her even though it's one of the smaller ones.

But then she got rained off after one song. :D

Still can't get over what happened yesterday at Glastonbury Festival (official)!
I was gutted when they called us off stage after one song because of the storm! So when we walked into the crowd to play for everyone acoustically, I really wasn't sure what people's reaction would be.
To say it was overwhelming is an understatement! That moment was such a great example of what 'Children of Universe' is about. Thanks to everyone who was there, singing along and listening. You created such a magical, positive thing out of something that could have been quite the opposite.

Here's a picture taken immediately afterwards that kinda sums up the the whole thing x #powertothepeople

Bless her. I hope she gets that album out in the end/picked up again for next year.
 
After a decade of silence, Molly is back with a new folk-pop project Sky Islands.
It's nothing earth shattering, but quite nice. She does have a lovely voice for this sort of thing.
