It's a knockout!



More news is filtering in about Eurovision: Your Decision, the new format the UK will use to select its Eurovision entry for Belgrade.

Information from the press office section of the BBC's website suggests that six acts will battle it out in three (as yet unannounced) categories, although, we here at Eurovisio Express, suspect these may be Male Soloists, Female Soloists and Groups.

During the first of two programmes one act from each category will be knocked out. The three successful acts, plus a wildcard, will proceed to the second programme, during which the four songs will be reduced yet again to two for a 'superfinal'.

It's unclear at the moment if the wildcard will be one of the original six acts that gets knocked out in the first round, or a completely separate seventh act (although this latter option seems less likely).

Singers and songtitles are still to be revealed, so this format still leaves the possibility for the much mooted Joseph/Maria concept to be used. For example the three categories could be 'Josephs', 'Marias' and 'Joseph and Marias'.

More information as soon as we get it!
