Something is telling me to be worried about this new track in relation to a certain broadcaster scrabbling about for a new Eurovision entry…

After a 2 year drought, this year’s list has some titles I’m interested in. I’m already stressing about how I’m going to track down Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Alison Goldfrapp & Ólafur Arnalds/Loreen 😭 #RSD2026

No Tudor Bumbac here either 😔

Edward Maya has this in the bag, surely?

Catching up with #MaskedSingerUK and just the same as with John Lydon, I picked the wrong one out of a choice of two with Red Panda

Woman and Effortless are the same song #Melfest

Iconic is the schlager banger we all come to #Melfest for

Well I look forward to Steps’ version in 2027 #Melfest

Are those porcelain statues available in IKEA? They’re wonderful! #Melfest

Brave to try that note with all those snowflakes coming her way #Melfest

The biggest question is how on earth Copacabana Boy made it through to the live shows #Melfest
January 31, 2026 at 7:32 PM
Good grief 😂 #Melfest

Not sure why, but Noll2 are giving PJ & Duncan to me #melfest

I’d be VERY intrigued to hear a mic-only edit of this performance of Woman. Lots of vocals happening here without her lips moving #Melfest
January 31, 2026 at 7:20 PM
I could definitely get behind Half Of Me if it wins #Melfest

Did he just mention Cardiff? #Melfest
January 31, 2026 at 7:10 PM
Why do I suspect that the opening song will be the best song of the night? #Melfest
January 31, 2026 at 7:04 PM
Pirched for #Melfest Not heard any of the songs but looks like the results are already decided based on what I’ve read. The 10 year old in me is looking forward to the A*Teens comeback!

We all warned them!
🇱🇺 Luxemburger Wort reports that RTL is consulting with the EBU, Rocklab, songwriters, Eva Marija herself, and French music rights organization SACEM over potential copyright issues.

This refers to similarities between "Mother Nature" and Birdy's 2016 "Keeping Your Head Up".

Surprised it’s not down to 10 seconds
The Doomsday Clock, a metaphorical timepiece meant to depict how close humanity is to destruction, ticked closer than ever to midnight on Tuesday: 85 seconds to the stroke of doom.
Doomsday Clock Ticks Closer Than Ever to Apocalypse
Wars, climate change, disruptive technologies and the rise of autocracy over the past year prompted scientists to set the clock at 85 seconds to midnight.
