More info Excitement and anticipation swept the nation in March when the UK's Eurovision 2025 entry was unveiled. The chosen act, country-pop trio Remember Monday, are gearing up to dazzle the audience in Basel, Switzerland, with their catchy tune 'What The Hell Just Happened?'. The close-knit friends, Lauren Byrne, Holly-Anne Hull, and Charlotte Steele, met at Farnborough College in Hampshire and formed their girl group in 2013. Their bond extends beyond music - Lauren and Charlotte were even part of Holly-Anne's bridal party at her 2023 wedding. Each of the three has an impressive background in musical theatre, with credits including Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera, Mary Poppins, Matilda, and SIX The Musical. Now, they're set to take the Eurovision stage by storm as the first girl group to represent the UK since 1999. Competing against 36 other nations, Remember Monday describe themselves as "pop girlies with a little bit of yeehaw". The trio promised: "We're going to be the first girlband to represent the UK since 1999, which feels like such a crazy honour. "We're going to bring loads of fun, energy and hopefully do something that you won't have seen before on the Eurovision stage." This dynamic girl group is ready to shine and make the UK proud with their unique blend of country-pop charm and high-energy performance, reports Surrey Live. It might come as a surprise, but these women have previously competed in a major televised singing contest and even reached the quarter finals of the show. Remember Monday appeared on the eighth series of The Voice UK, advancing to week two of The Knockouts in the music reality competition. Their rendition of Seal's Kiss From A Rose during the blind auditions resulted in a four-chair turn and quickly went viral, establishing the country-pop trio as formidable contenders from the start. In The Knockouts, the group performed their original song, Jailbreaker, leaving the audience amazed by their talent and uniqueness. Though Molly Hocking ultimately claimed the title of The Voice UK winner in 2019, Remember Monday certainly made an impression on both the judges and viewers. The public's opinion of the girl group was overwhelmingly positive, peaking during their stint on the show, with one X (formerly Twitter) user posting: "I would love to see #remembermonday win @BBCTheVoiceUK #TheVoiceUK they are refreshing and fantastic ! "Gotta love a lil Country music!" One social media user expressed their enthusiasm: "Remember Monday performing their own song and smashing it, love the combination of original song and their talent, no expectations or preconceptions to overcome. "Love it. #TheVoiceUK," while another praised the musical trio, commenting: "Remember Monday singing their own song, not hiding behind someone else's success but blazing their own trail. Brilliant #TheVoiceUK". After belting out their own tune Jailbreak, numerous fans of the programme voiced their admiration online, with one individual writing on X: "@remembermonday_ when can I download Jailbreaker? ! Absolutely smashed it - loved this song so much and I wish people made more music like this #TheVoiceUK". Another fan penned: "An original song, and a blinding one at that. Cheers for sharing it with us, Remember Monday. #TheVoiceUK". Remember Monday is set to embark on their most extensive tour yet, performing in 16 cities throughout England, Wales, Ireland, and Scotland. Eurovision 2025 will uplift audiences from May 13 to 17; with May 13 pencilled in for the first semi-final, May 15 for the second, and the grand finale scheduled for May 17. The cherished event will unfold at Basel's St. Jakobshalle in Switzerland, boasting a capacity for an audience of 12,400. For those eager to see Remember Monday's Eurovision showcase – the entire contest will be televised live on BBC One and accessible through the convenience of BBC iPlayer streaming.

The Voice Is Bringing Back Four Season 27 Contestants: Who Do You Think They Should Be?
The Voice Is Bringing Back Four Season 27 Contestants: Who Do You Think They Should Be? In the final moments of Monday's episode of The Voice — the conclusion of Season 27's Playoffs — six more artists were eliminated. Only maybe they weren't, not really. Host Carson Daly revealed to coaches John Legend, Adam Levine, Kelsea Ballerini and Michael Bublé that they were being allowed to offer Super Saves to four cut contestants and bring them back for the NBC sing-off's Lives (which kick off Monday, May 12, at 8/7c). Now, of course, the question is: Which vocalists should be given those coveted reprieves? More from TVLine Kelsea's choice oughta be easy peasy. She's got to bring back Jaelen Johnston, whom she never should have dropped in the first place. Not only was the fan favorite her only country artist, but he'd slayed in the Playoffs. Moving on… THE VOICE -- "The Knockouts Part 2" Episode 2710 -- Pictured: Divighn -- (Photo by: Tyler Golden/NBC) Michael's decision shouldn't be too hard to make, either. After the showstopper of a performance that Divighn gave in the Knockouts, he should be ushered not just back into the competition but straight on through to the finale. As for John… hmm. Whom he'll pick is a real question mark. Ari Camille and Olivia Kuper Harris both did well in the Playoffs, but in my heart of hearts, I'm hoping he'll go back further and give another chance to Nell Simmons, who got the chop in the KOs. Adam arguably faces the most difficult choice. Ethan Eckenroad is a true artist, he just has no stage presence. Britton Moore could develop into the next Shawn Mendes. But — and I'm sure there's no way this will happen — Adam should go back and unmake the mistake that he made sending Fran Posla home after her amazing performance in the Playoffs. Who do you think the coaches will bring back? And who are you hoping they'll bring back? Sound off in the comments below. Best of TVLine Sign up for TVLine's Newsletter.
