Joesuxx Posted December 17, 2023 Posted December 17, 2023 This is really such a shame. I was hoping he’d get the band back together after nightcall was so, poor. He has a great voice but really isn’t a musician. I think camping it all up and alienating the others was his worst move. I loved their first two records but Eurovision? I’d rather him step into acting because he’s gonna lose the last bit of his credibility. Watch him be the next Sam Ryder appearing in every advert possible for a couple hundred a throw.

xTurn Posted December 17, 2023 Posted December 17, 2023 Am I the only one who likes Night call? I don't get the hate. Communion > Night Call > Palo Santo I'm sure I will love the song and I think he will have an album ready? 1
Gossip_Boy Posted December 17, 2023 Posted December 17, 2023 Danny L Harle being involved means the song won’t be complete shite at least (unlike this year’s entry). He needs some heavy rehearsing tho. We can’t afford another train wreck of a performance.
Joesuxx Posted December 17, 2023 Posted December 17, 2023 What was the point of releasing that soundtrack song a couple of weeks ago under Y&Y?

It’s sad because they made magic, but the first two albums could have stayed as Y&Y and everything solo since changed to his name. I’m glad they’re on good terms still though
SpaceOddity Posted December 17, 2023 Posted December 17, 2023 The first two albums should remain as Years & Years, love Olly but this is kind of disrespectful to the other members. Maybe they don't care though, as long as they get royalties etc. Still an obnoxious move.

In the UK I would say he's like a 5 or a 6. He's very well known among young people (and especially young LGBTQ people) for his music, and he extended his appeal a bit to middle aged people with his performance in It's A Sin. But it's also hard not to feel like his music career has fallen off a bit in the last couple of years. B-list is probably the best description. I can't say much for continental Europe other than he's less famous there than in the UK. 1

djcalpal Posted December 17, 2023 Posted December 17, 2023 I think the issue for me is Olly's live vocals just aren't that amazing... could be what separates a good showing from a mediocre one.
Nashe Posted December 17, 2023 Posted December 17, 2023 lol back to the regular last places it is for the UK
Young Volcanoes Posted December 17, 2023 Posted December 17, 2023 we don't care about this has-been or eurovision 1 1

The singles from Communion were hits in my little Balkan country. They even shot the Eyes Shut music video in my city lol. King charted in a bunch of Central and Eastern European countries but I doubt people could name Olly Alexander. 1
Jukebox Posted December 17, 2023 Posted December 17, 2023 I don’t get the Night Call hate in here at all. That’s a great album! The singles from the first album were amazing but as a whole I much prefer NC and Palo Santo - which is the best. My god, what an album. I think with Danny behind him, he could make a massive splash at Eurovision, I’m really excited. The general public love him, the gays are here and there about him but I think that’s just jealous gays being jealous gays as always.

Bussea Posted December 18, 2023 Posted December 18, 2023 Didn’t even know they were a band, I thought he was always a solo project.
