When the BBC introduced us to Molly Smitten-Downes and her song “Children of the Universe”, y’all blew it up on Twitter. “Amazing”, “the best UK entry ever”, “young and fresh and now”—the love would not stop flowing. Molly’s good fortune continues. She has been shortlisted for a Glastonbury Emerging Talent Award. She’s currently in fourth place in our Eurovision 2014 poll. And she has stomped her way into eighth place in our search for Eurovision’s Next Top Model 2014.
We know you guys need to see the MSD live and now you have your chance. Our friends at the London Eurovision Party have confirmed that Molly will be the headline act on April 13. Power to the people…uh, oh, oh, oh….

Oh… I think I’m going to cry 🙁 🙁
I’m not pathetic darling, I have just give my opinion. Can you live with differents points of view??
Of course Pastora Soler is not a beautiful girl. But, sadly for you, Ruth is prettier than Molly LOL. However, the most beautiful girl this year IN MY OPINION is the Irish girl.
PASTORA SOLER HAHAHA you are pathetic, btw do you like Pastora’s face. or Ruth’s face ? HORSE’S FACE !!
The best UK entry in the past 10 or even 15 years. Only the ones by Jessica Garlick, Blue and Jade Ewen are comparable when it comes to quality.
I lover her and her song, but beautiful beautiful… she isn’t. I don’t liker her face.

Oh what I wouldn’t give to have the chance to be at a show like that, at least once! (I am one of the “aliens” from halfway across the planet who love the ESC madly though we are not European, hehe).
Dance on, lad… and kudos to your boss 🙂
Surely this will be wildly appreciated. I mean, not only the UK, but the whole of the “Big 5” taking it so seriously in recent years gives us hope that a Song Festival is still a major event, which should rekindle everybody’s love.
Well, done, UK! And best to Molly and everyone involved 🙂
Well Im absolutely over the moon. This is so exciting and what a great line up! Had my tickets for a while! Did a little dance in the office when I just read Molly is going to be their and now have to explain myself to my Boss. Now he wants to come too!
Power to the people!
The main talking point here is Scott Fitzgerald is taking part. This is awesome news as he is one great ambassador for the UK….if only that French-Canadian wench never spanked him into second place by a single point.
Um, it’s not old news as this isn’t even on the London Eurovision Party web site yet
