Never Give Up On Eurovision

If you’re anything like us, and you love a bit of cheesy music, you’ll be counting down the days until Eurovision. There are only a few more months to go, so make sure you have May 13 in your diary.

This year, the UK will be represented by Lucie Jones, a former X Factor finalist. Up against the likes of Danyl Johnson and Olivia Garcia, Jones received the most public votes on BBC Two’s Eurovision: You Decide, with her song Never Give Up On You. You can listen to it below.

So, what do you think?

For once, the choice might actually be a good one and could win us some well-needed votes.

However, in the first Eurovision since the Brexit vote, political tensions may have some influence (as they always do, unfortunately!)

The results of Eurovision are incredibly hard to predict, though, so who knows what will happen? With Joe and Jake coming 24th out of 26 contestants last year, at least we’re likely to fare a little bit better.

So, get your flags at the ready and stock up with plenty of food and drink, and get that Eurovision party going.

  • Food Food Review: Las Iguanas, Newcastle
    4/5 If you love a good theme, Las Iguanas is a restaurant you might like to try. The Latin American-style chain has restaurants all over the country, but I recently popped into the one on Grey Street just down from the Theatre Royal. As always, the restaurant itself is pristine and the atmosphere is super […]

  • Books Book Review: 1984 by George Orwell
    1/5 1984 is always cited as one of the best books ever written. It’s supposed to be intelligent, sharp and profound. Instead, I found it to be dull, rambling and unremarkable. Oh, and rampantly sexist. George Orwell was clever – I’ve read his essays and I like them. But 1984? It was hard to believe […]
