UK's Remember Monday Faces Low Odds Ahead Eurovision Final Switzerland

The UK is represented at this year's Eurovision Song Contest by Remember Monday, an all-female country-pop trio from Surrey and Hampshire who are the first such group to compete for the UK this century. The band members, Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull, and Charlotte Steele, met in college and have extensive performing arts backgrounds including West End shows and reality TV appearances, and co-wrote their song "What The Hell Just Happened?" which they hope will stand out in the competition. Despite positive commentary from Eurovision commentator Graham Norton, who praised their vocals, harmonies, and likability, and some favorable audience reactions, betting odds place the UK act at 50/1, suggesting they are unlikely to win or even crack the top 10. Eurovision fans and observers acknowledge the UK act's strong live singing and stage presence, with some expressing surprise and support for the group's performance and potential. The competition is fierce with favorites like Sweden's KAJ and Austria's JJ, while the UK aims to achieve its first win since 1997. Remember Monday have been encouraged to enjoy the experience and channel their energy into a fun and memorable performance in Basel, Switzerland.
