How well known is your representative? Are they a big name or rather an up and coming star?

This is just a topic that peaked my interest today - thinking how well known each country’s representative is in their home country

For the UK, it’s a rocky history because last year we sent our biggest name since 2013 with Olly Alexander of Years and Years, we did go through a 9-year period (2014-2023) of artists who aren’t really known with the exception of Lucie Jones who has been a mainstay in West End theatre being featured in the likes of Les Miserables and Rent to name a few (and Wicked as Elphaba since ESC) but we did go through a period of sending, to put it lightly, ‘past their prime’ stars with Blue, Englebert Humperdinck and Bonnie Tyler

If the rumours are true, Remember Monday will be our representative and they aren’t really big names with their most prominent appearance being The Voice UK participants making it to the knockouts being coached by Jennifer Hudson in 2019
