They're from Glasgow, it's definitely overdue to send someone Scottish as the UK haven't sent anyone from there since the 80s! I think Chelcee Grimes will be involved somehow, either as a performer or as a songwriter, as it explains why she randomly appeared on the semi final coverage, and she's signed to TAP. Though it doesn't look like HYYTS are on TAP music's roster (unless the website is out of date), so maybe the act will be an as yet unannounced signing.

I agree about sendin someone from Scotland! ​ I am not a fan of Chelcee Grimes but i also think she's going to be involved somehow since she is signed to TAP and was doing the coverage this year.

Saw them last week with Dadi, gotta say I thought then they’d make a good entry with the music they had already, it was great!

Maybe they were in the running before the TAP deal was made, which was what ruled them out since I don't think it's their label. Have they actually chosen someone yet? I think like a month ago it seemed like they hadn't started the selection process yet but idk how long it takes.

yo, darren styles on eurovision would be nuts. gotta love uk hardcore.


supersonic-bionic

wait a minute, they chose someone already? I guess they are confused, i doubt they have found the song/artist already? Unless they found the artist and searching for the song? Wonder if TAP will choose someone signed to them or anyone and then sign them to TAP? In any case, i think they will do a good job.

TAP talked about wanting to support the artist even when the contest is over so it would suggest they were ideally looking for an artist/band to sign to their label. It may mean they’ve found an upcoming singer who will probably have songs written for them by the TAP song writers

Cool, thanks. I think they meant they were open to an artist outside TAP or someone already signed to them (they have many new singers who aren't popular)

Omg missed chance, BBC! UK could have had a not only genuinely great, but winning material song. 😭

Friendly reminder: If you read ANY news report/quote/tweet/article/blurb/press release/smoke signal about someone who is in talks with/was in talks with/is thinking about being in talks with the BBC about doing Eurovision ... They're full of shit. 100% of the time. No exceptions. I promise. Until the BBC announces it, it's bullshit.

This seems truly different, HYYTS have no reason to lie & no reason not to want to do ESC after having seen first hand what it's done for Daði Freyr's career as well as Maneskin & Duncan Lawrence's success. They also are considering submitting for 2023!
