I just played Eastenders on iPlayer just to see what was going on and was surprised to hear the first strains of Fairytale - I couldn't believe it. A very funny and eccentric storyline involving a guy called Leyton (it's ironic as well- there's a Leyton in East London). Jade Ewen is practically an EastEnder - from Plaistow (up the road from West Ham).

Could this be a signal from the BBC that they haven't forgotten about it, that's it's just around the corner?

Lulu, to be honest it would be useless as noone would recognise her haha :) lets just hope we get an announcement tomorrow before we all go mad

Let's hope an announcement is imminent from the BBC. As for Lulu representing the UK again, sure she would be great. Bit of a risk for her though.

BBC 1 just now - Eastenders and they played I'm In Love With A Fairytale and talked about Alexander Rybak.

Hmmm - is the BBC starting to wake up to ESC 2010?

Jessica Garlick had a very good song and Yohanna too. I also think "It hurts" is a good entry from Sweden.

Simon
Lulu :) I'm sure she would be great.

This time last year, we were days away from selecting our singer, but this year i haven't a clue as to what's happening regarding the UK entry for 2010. Hurry up BBC!
