I think Sam Taylor would be a great choice to represent us this year. There's a certain warmth in his vocal delivery and glint in his eye that will certainly travel well throughout the Europe. He conveys a wonderful sense of seriousness and experience that ensures he could handle the immense pressure that representing the UK requires. Much has been made of this country's inability to take the competition seriously...& Jade last year kinda illustrated that point though we did try. Bringing in Sam Taylor into the fold would show we mean business. Whether Sam Taylor wants to do it...well thats a totally different matter altogether.
Beyond Sam Taylor, I was thinking a boyband of sorts might be a good suggestion to represent us. Boybands are in at the moment and I think its time they won at the competition. Is it time for Phixx and Avenue to reform? Methinks it is.
An iconic diva? Yes, I'd go with an iconic diva who can hold her space like Jade but must be able to have a bit more life in the performance. Lets face it: the best thing about Jade's performance was the elbow of the fake violinist. Why not have Elaine Page do it? Random. For sure. But why not.
There's always the slightly sly approach of getting an act who is huge abroad in another European territory. For example, an act like Alcazar. Perhaps ask the Army Of Lovers to reform? They're huge throughout Europe and massive within the critical central European countries.

The very first time I saw Sam perform, I thought he'd be perfect for Eurovision. I'm glad he's in now, intrigued to see what this group will be like (surely not the new Steps or Libery X?)
Incidentally, I think Alcazar offered themselves to BBC once but were turned away.
I see a few of you are just post wanking over Sam when you should be telling him NO DON'T DO IT. This has totally ruined any chance for him to be a proper star.
I think that's a fair point, if crudely put. It didn't ruin Jade's chances, but I think the question has to be asked about Sam's chances before this... he didn't seem to be going places, and I didn't see him as a Gareth Gates figure so maybe this is the springboard he needs.
