Delirious Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Like it's not only about the weirdness of an extremely established artist competing in a singing competition but people will flame and resent Ellie for underservingly taking the spot of a contestant who actually needed this promo. Ellie doing Eurovision is quite possibly one of the worst decisions I've ever heard and if it is true, I literally have no words. Not to mention the possibilites of Ellie getting voted out first round which is very very possible and likely. Imagine the disaster. It will be a catastrophic MESS. I hope Ellie is just a guest performer and not actually competing. That will be cute and nice. Edited February 26, 2023 by Delirious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie has more streams than all of these acts combined Ellie has nothing this decade and yet she still has 5m more monthly listeners on spotify without even lifting a finger. that's what i call consistency maneskin only became famous because of eurovision. their popularity will steeply decline and they will become irrelevant in one year (their new album already bombed) If no one knows ABBA in the US, especially now, then I guess they know Ellie Goulding even less. As for Maneskin their album debuted higher and had the same amount of charting weeks. 2020s Billboard 200 ABBA - #2 Voyage - 7 weeks charted - nominated for AOTY Maneskin - #18 - 2 weeks charted Ellie Goulding - #29 - 2 weeks charted Us discussing and there being actual speculation about her doing Eurovision and people actually believing it speaks that she is not above doing it at all.

They know Elllie more for sure. Lights + SFFY went viral last year. My Blood is viral atm. Ellie has sold more certified in the US overall than ABBA. ABBA only has ~10m certified units in the US. Ellie has 41m. Ellie has 30m more certified units. Regardless, album sales are not always the only indicator of success/relevancy nowerdays. Especially when youre comparing it to Ellie's worst performing album. Relevancy and success is also a lot about single success, overall sales, streams and longevity as well and ABBA cannot even compete remotely with "Close To Me" and "Hate Me"'s or even "Sixteen's" success. Either way if we're really comparing these albums, 'Brightest Blue' is already certified Gold in the Us and stands currently at 700k+ units. ABBA & Maneskin's albums will never ever reach the gold certification until maybe when I'm dead. Their highest streamed song from their high-anticipated comeback album has 62m streams. Ellie's sped up version of "Lights" which was released a year later will surpass that song in one month. "All By Myself" will surpass the song in a month as well. I guarantee you very little people know about ABBA outside of Europe, especially nowerdays. It's the truth. Even though they don't know who Ellie is (they kinda do now because of the viral memes on TikTok) at least they know Ellie's hits like LMLYD, Burn, Lights, Outside etc. Anyways why are we even comparing stats of artists, everyone already said multiple times that Ellie is performing at a festival on the same date as Eurovision so it cancels out the rumor of her performance.

I actually think Eurovision could be a good move for her at this point, with the right song it could totally rejuvenate her career in Europe, and it’s also done wonders for Sam Ryder in the UK. But anyway, didn’t somebody say that she has a show booked somewhere for the same time Eurovision is happening? So it’s unlikely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator khalyan Posted February 26, 2023 ATRL Moderator Share Posted February 26, 2023 Everyone in the US knows ABBA, they are legends and that is undeniable. Competing in Eurovision is not a death sentence to an artist's career like it used to be. The contest has such a huge global platform and if utilized correctly can result in a massive hit or massive exposure. Armenia's song last year, Snap, is bigger than any Ellie song since Hate Me and Rosa Linn only placed 20th. Obviously Ellie is not competing in Eurovision though since she's promoting a conflicting festival date, and at this point it's likely Freya with an outside chance of it being Rina.

Tylerbv Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 ABBA are legends in the US. Like Springsteen/Billy Joel level legends. Dancing Queen alone is a song that EVERYONE knows. Not to mention Mamma Mia (song and movie), SOS, The Winner Takes It All. Ellie is too big for Eurovision, but comparing her to ABBA is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie is too big for Eurovision, but comparing her to ABBA is Even if ABBA are legends in the US, they aren't as relevant as Ellie, Selena, Dua Lipa etc. is now in the 21st century in the US. Only boomers know who ABBA is nowerdays. Like I'm not trying to say that they aren't legends (because they are, at least in Europe) or unsuccessful (their legacy is undeniable) but saying theyre more relevant than Ellie now in the US is a kii honestly. Even if noone knows who Ellie is, it doesn't matter because they all recognize her voice and know Lights, LMLYD, Burn etc. with certainty. Or they will hear Ellie's songs spammed on radio 247. Look I know ABBA is 1000000x more influential and 1000000x successful than Ellie and it's not even comparable but I'm talking about now. They haven't scored a US hit in 50 years and it's not even their fault because they took such a long break. And I think we all know if Ellie actually competes, she will get more hate than love (unless she truly knocks it out of the path) and the anxiety will consume her.

Ok well thank god but just imagine if Ellie gets the least amount of votes in the final round. That would be still very disasterous. I know Eurovision will boost Ellie's career but is it really worth the risks? The amount of things that can go wrong is too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetTalker Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I’m sorry but I feel the only reason Eurovision would be a be a death sentence is if there’s bad press around it, because of her anxiety.

AidanUnderYou Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 this song sounds incredible, the trance revival is upon us it’s giving 00s clubland, this is gonna be huge in the UK.

You either love it or you hate it The comments on twitter and Instagram and TikTok have already been mostly negative. The performance may not end badly for sales but who cares about sales when there will be literally non stop hate against Ellie 247. It will be a nightmare. 20 minutes ago, AidanUnderYou said: this song sounds incredible, the trance revival is upon us it’s giving 00s clubland, this is gonna be huge in the UK.

A high stress environment is definitely not that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldstargay Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 The only way she should do Eurovision (and i doubt she even is) is if Calvin was literally on stage with her. Spread the embarrassment around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin’s video of her singing in the church went viral and has over 1m likes and the comments are praising her voice and they’re desperate for her to collab with The Weeknd lol. It’s done wonders for her own videos A well, the one she posted of her singing the chorus a capella has 240k likes which is good for her. I can see this song becoming a hit.
