United Kingdom: Initial staging idea for “Dizzy” was rejected by SVT!

/2 Comments/in , , /by

The United Kingdom went full throttle with the pop sensation “Dizzy” and the well known Olly Alexander in Eurovision 2024. This impressive staging with special camera movements seems that it was a much simpler presentation than it was originally planned by Olly Alexander’s team, specifically Theo Adams.

Ola Melzig, the Senior Technical Director of Eurovision 2024, spoke to “The Euro Trip Podcast” and mentioned the following about Olly Alexander’s performance:

If the UK hadn’t reached out very early on this year, you wouldn’t have seen that performance. 

Their first idea was impossible to do on our stage because we have less than 50 seconds to do a changeover – you can’t show up with something that weighs a tonne and takes two minutes to do.

It appears that the original concept was too big and impractical to implement in time for a live show with a strict schedule, which is why SVT rejected it. Though scaled back to fit Eurovision’s requirements, the concept behind what we actually saw and what was initially planned remained the same.

As a result, Ola Melzig emphasizes the importance of early communication in order to have enough time to adapt and bring the submitted ideas to life as closely as possible to their original state.

Despite the impressive staging, Olly Alexander’s performance was also criticized by the European public for being provocative; thus, he was not awarded a single point from the audience, finish in eighteenth place with a total of 48 points.

Junior Eurovision 2024: The United Kingdom pulls out of the competition, yet another country will make its return!

/1 Comment/in , , /by

In less than five months from today, the 22nd Junior Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Madrid. According to a BBC journalist, Adrian Bradley, the United Kingdom will withdraw from the Junior Eurovision contest due to low viewership. But another country will fill the void, and according to our exclusive information it will be ready to announce its grand return in a few days!

The United Kingdom will not make an appearance in Madrid

Following sixteen years of absence from the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, BBC made its return two years ago and continued the same success it had during the early years of the contest with two consecutive top five placements and an online vote win. However, the low viewership the national broadcast of the competition received, made UK’s public television to decide to pull out of the upcoming edition, which is scheduled to take place in Madrid on November 16.

Another country ready to announce its return

While all of this is going on in London, officials in another European capital are preparing to announce their nation’s return to Junior Eurovision in 2024.

Since everything has been finalized and only a few formal details need to be completed, they are ready to officially announce their return and even their representative, which is great news for all Junior Eurovision fans.

In fact, based on our exclusive information, the hopes are high about their return as the young participant selected for the nation’s representation is a gifted singer, and they anticipate that they will provide us with an excellent performance.

Olly Alexander has a powerful ally on his side for his Eurovision bid. Danny L. Harle, Dua Lipa’s producer, has put together Olly Alexander’s bid. Danny is the brains behind Dua’s latest smash hit “Houdini” and will probably serve as the executive producer on her upcoming third studio album. Moreover, “Dizzy” is also signed by Olly Alexander himself and along with Danny H. Harle, it was co-produced by Finn Keane.

Who is Olly Alexander?

The 33 year-old Olly Alexander is a singer and actor from England. He is best known for his work as the lead singer of Years & Years, one of the UK’s most successful groups and as Ritchie Tozer in the Channel 4 drama series “It’s a Sin”. Alexander has been multi-nominee in the Brit Awards as well as several other awards within the United Kingdom.

Olly Alexander was selected by BBC as the British entrant for Eurovision 2024 and his participation was announced by himself during the Grand Final of BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing on December 16. Soon after his announcement, the United Kingdom has climbed to the top of the odds, where it still remains today, on “Dizzy’s” release date.
