My vote would be for Nicholas Mcdonald ok he didnt win but is very talented and we need someone young and fresh.

The Voice is on the BBC and started earlier this year (normally it doesn't start until March). It's the second most program of the week, with just under 10m viewers each episode. It's a live show (once the auditions are over). All they need to do is for the last singer from each team (semifinal week?) to sing, as one of their rounds, their "eurovision" song, picked from songs written by hundreds of eager amateur songwriters who would gladly send their songs in to the Beeb given a chance. <br /><br />The Eurovision winner can be chosen there and then, singer and song. And it doesn't even need to be The Voice winner. After all, in Spain, Beth didn't win Operación Triunfo in 2003 - she came third - , and Ramón came second in 2004. So the round to choose the BBC Eurovision representative does not need to impact the choice of the eventual winner of The Voice.

Perhaps a change would be good? Although saying that, ITV's entertainment programmes are often borderline tacky... I think the Beeb needs to re-think it's strategy for Eurovision but at the same time, it's still months away and a lot can happen in that time :)Dr Eurovisionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11981266260155002576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7989549270801031530.post-69318390944220398862014-01-22T15:11:36.055-08:002014-01-22T15:11:36.055-08:00Paul, what are your thoughts on the Beeb relinquis...Paul, what are your thoughts on the Beeb relinquishing control of Eurovision and letting one of the other EBU members (ITV, Channel 4 or S4C) have a go? I suspect that ITV would have a selection a la X Factor, but would that be a bad thing? <br /><br />I'm surprised that the BBC haven't made use of The Voice winners/finalists - it worked for Russia and Belgium last year...<br />LMBTO_Eurovisionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912370536887599877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7989549270801031530.post-17569383504860175062014-01-22T11:10:00.053-08:002014-01-22T11:10:00.053-08:00It will be another has been... it will get bottom....It will be another has been... it will get bottom.. and BBC will blame Europe..

Maybe someone should start by making a list of artists/bands that were famous 10+ years ago, on tour at the moment and planning to release a comeback album in 2014. It would be easier to guess by then.Musiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305231697133908705noreply@blogger.com
