Olly Alexander står midt i kontroverser og tårer under sin Eurovision-rejse. Find ud af, hvordan popstjernen planlægger at gøre showet 'så homoseksuelt som muligt'.

Olly Alexander, den britiske popstjerne, har for nylig fanget rampelyset som Storbritanniens repræsentant ved Eurovision Song Contest 2024. Men vejen til Eurovision har været fyldt med kontroverser og tårer for Alexander. Fra at udløse flagkampe til at give rørende optrædener har han ikke undgået rampelysets skarpe lys. Med sit nummer 'Dizzy' har Alexander erklæret, at han vil gøre Eurovision 'så homoseksuelt som muligt', hvilket har skabt både støtte og modstand. Hans første optræden på Eurovision-scenen, med en omvendt omklædningsrum-opstilling, satte fansen i en følelsesmæssig tåge af begejstring og forundring. Afslutningsvis står Olly Alexander midt i en kamp om at finde den rette balance mellem at udtrykke sin kunstneriske vision og respektere konkurrencens traditioner. Hans ønske om at gøre Eurovision så homoseksuelt som muligt rejser vigtige spørgsmål om kulturel repræsentation og kunstnerisk integritet i showbiz-verdenen.
