If you could chose someone to represent us at Eurovision who?

I knew she sang on it, didn't know the Eurovision part. Didn't she do a lot of mixed Jewish / Muslim music? I think she was quite universally respected across both communities.

They are arguably bigger in Germany and rest of Europe than here, so not a bad shout. The only problem is they absolutely suck live and he can't sing any more :(

Can they submit Lucretia my Reflection?, it would surely get some votes, how couldn’t you like that song!.

Someone, anyone who can sing and be given or can write a song worth singing. Not a song that needs props, staging, weird clothes, odd dance moves, screaming, daft people dancing behind them. Too much to ask maybe. To answer the question….i have no idea.

Props, staging and weird clothes is the whole remit of Eurovision though

Slightly more obscure than some of the other answers here, but I've wondered for a while if Dodie would do it.

Christopher Bowes isn't the best of people though. The concept is great but I'd be hesitant to have him represent our country after the whole racism thing.

Was just about to put this. Always thought Drink should have been a Eurovision entry. Sums up what most Europeans think of us anyway 😁

Too easy, that would be like using a cheat code, because she already does the exact kind of music that always does well there. And we know she's got the pipes for it. We keep sending people who can't really sing to a singing competition, then wonder why we do badly. Maybe to mix it up with could send Adele along with Napalm Death doing the backing

I don’t know a particular person but i would do anything for them to send a welsh/scottish/irish person. I’m tired of it being “united kingdom” yet only sending English people.

Probably should’ve been more specific, you’re not wrong but i meant as in a welsh person and song, or scottish and gaelic song etc lol

Harry Stiles. He seems popular. And if the rigged votes put Israel in the top 3 again next year - just abandon it - the bots will ensure we never do well again.

If we actually wanted to win (although they'd never do it) we should send Iron Maiden. They're beloved around the world and would get us loads of votes. However I think they would find it impossible to create a song that is within the 3 minute time limit!
