UK Eurovision ACT Recreate a song of fire saga, while the competition is looming

The hopes of the United Kingdom in Eurovision, Remember Monday, covered a song from the cult film by Will Ferrell on the competition, while the finals are getting closer.

The trio went to Iceland earlier this month to film Their version of Húsavík (my hometown)Originally sung by the character of Rachel McAdams Sigrit in the parody of Netflix, the story of the fire saga.

He released three weeks before the group interpreted his own song, What The Hell has just performed, during the Eurovision of this year competition in Basel, Switzerland.

Bookmakers predict that the United Kingdom will fall just outside the top 10 of the competition, with Sweden and Austria among the favorites to win.

However, remember Monday told BBC News that they were “hungry to get a good result”.

“We have the impression that there is a little stigma around Eurovision, and we would really like to be part of the change,” said singer Holly-Anne Hull.

The group, completed by Charlotte Steele and Lauren Byrne, began to sing together at school and experienced roles in West End shows like the Misérables, Phantom of the Opera and Six: The Musical.

As a long -standing fans of Eurovision, they embarked on a swirling European press tour, occurring in a dozen countries, and even singing at the top of the Swiss mountain.

For their trip to Húsavík, Steele even faced its fear of flying while traveling both on a Propullor plane and a helicopter.

The trip made “a long -standing dream from us,” said the group.

In the clipThey can visit the charming elf houses which are part of the country’s magic folklore, and sing with an Icelandic schoolboy choir which previously played the 2001 Oscars, when Húsavík (my hometown) was nominated for the best original song.

“We are very honored that they welcomed us in their beautiful city and we let this song sing,” said the group, “and we are grateful that it is on a film so that we can relive these memories forever”.

“We have never seen anywhere so beautiful with our own eyes!”

Before Eurovision, the BBC announced a unique special, with Graham Norton in conversation with Remember on Monday.

The program will be broadcast on Friday May 9 on BBC One, giving a backstage of the group’s preparations for Basel.

In addition, BBC Radio 2 revealed that Sara Cox is joining the station’s program for this year’s competition.

The broadcaster will comment on the semi-finals alongside Richie Anderson. Scott Mills and Rylan welcome the grand final on May 17.

Rehearsals for the competition start today (April 25) at the Jakobshalle Arena.

In the first stages, the Stands make the 37 entries, allowing participants to review the staging, choreography and lighting before the candidates arrived in Switzerland in early May.

The competition of last year was won by the Swiss singer Nemo for their song The Code – a semi -operative pop song that marked their trip to realize that they were not binary.

This year’s favorite is the Swedish participant Kaj, whose song Bara Bada Bastu is an ode to the advantages of the sauna.

If they come out victorious, Sweden will record its eighth victory – breaking equality with Ireland as the most successful nation of Eurovision.
