Blue Unveil Anthemic Eurovision Track



Blue Unveil Anthemic Eurovision Track 
Reunited quartet Blue have unveiled the "anthemic" track they will be taking to Eurovision this year, insisting taking part will not be "career suicide".

"We felt quite privileged to be asked," singer Duncan James told reporters on Thursday. "How many opportunities do you get to represent your country?"

Blue will perform the song, I Can, on Graham Norton's BBC One show on Friday.

This year's Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Dusseldorf, Germany on 14 May.

Band member Simon Webbe is adamant the track will not receive the dreaded "nul point".

"We don't see this as career suicide even if a lot of people will see it that way," he continued.

"It's a great way to show we are a live group and we are back after 10 years."

The UK has not won Eurovision since 1997 when Katrina and the Waves triumphed with Love Shine a Light.

Last year's hopeful, Josh Dubovie, finished in last place with That Sounds Good to Me, a song co-written by Mike Stock and Pete Waterman.

Odd Future's Insane 'Fallon' Performance

Last night, the L.A. rap crew Odd Future made their television debut on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon", and pretty much proved in an instant why people can't shut up about them. With the Roots backing them up, Tyler, the Creator and Hodgy Beats delivered an absolutely insane performance of "Sandwitches" (from their MellowHype project's BlackenedWhite album) that we could happily write 2,000 words about-- if we wanted to ruin the surprise.
