Can Charles actually enter Eurovision? Absolutely! Eurovision requires that a country's broadcaster selects the artist. Other relevant requirements: - The song can't have been released before 1 September this year for a 2024 entry (so none of Charles' 3 existing piano pieces can be adapted for this) - There need to be some lyrics, which need to be sung live. Charles may wish to invite someone to do this, but as long as the broadcaster accepts whoever on planet Earth Charles picks, that can be anyone that isn't performing for another entry on the night, is capable of producing a vocal and is able to get to the venue. - The song must be 3 minutes or less - Charles will have to record the piano part (and any other instruments) in advance, since no instruments can be performed live (the opposite rule to the main vocal). So he doesn't have to worry about accidentally missing a key on the night, as long as he either mimes it plausibly or performs in such a way that everyone is distracted from any broken illusions. - One last one that's unlikely to come up: no live animals on stage. Eurovision bans them. So no getting round the vocals rule by putting a rooster on stage or something.
