Really is.That’s a beautiful song.
UK song was garbage - no way was what was shown on the BBC - LIVE - It felt too music videoy, and no way would they have had those other blokes 'sliding' about that boghouse set untethered due to elf n safety
It may have stood out in a normal year but this year everyone came with half naked dancers and some riskI actually quite enjoyed watching Olly but I also think his performance was more “the brits” than Eurovision. It was just a bit too risqué for the audience. The problem for me was the song wasn’t great so the performance had to be a bit OTT to push it.
I agree and I think it’s often the case for the UK. People like to think it’s that everyone in Europe hates us because politics but when we have a good song that appeals (Sam Ryder) we do well, when we have meh songs we are mid table and when they’re crap we do badly.It was just a shit song and a shit performance. The outfits were weird, the stage set up was weird (dirty bathroom as an aesthetic... really?) and it wasn't fun.
I love Olly and Years and Years but there is no conspiracy in relation to this, it was just really bad.
God his dancing was bad wasn't it. Didn't come naturally for him at all.---

I think someone here remarked that this was the most gay Eurovision yet
Eurovision has always been camp, this year was the most gender neutral certainly.---

yeah it was really off. Enjoyed watching how the filmed it though. I thought the box was movingEurovision has always been camp, this year was the most gender neutral certainly.
Olly's vocals sound a bit iffy there.
What I love about France is they stay resolutely FrenchI think France are a bit like how the U.K. were a few years ago and are a bit embarrassed about Eurovision. They’ve done well in recent years though and their guy last night easily had the best voice.
I noticed on Twitter a lot of gammon types were watching, presumably just so they could make a point and vote for Isreal, and they were so offended by all the trans and non binary flags and overtly LGBT stuff. Like hello it’s fucking Eurovision what to do you expect
Very true for the German entry this year. The song is getting quite some airplay since it was released. It's not a bad song, the guy has a good voice. The staging was very meh though and without the jury vote, Germany wuold have come quite low. Only got 18 points from the public.The problem with juries is that they’re mostly pushing for songs that are radio friendly and have great vocals. Really it feels like we could turn Eurovision into any other concert on TV at this rate if every country sent acts that they think can do well with juries
It’s a shame. I enjoy discovering new music and genres from Eurovision or just having some guilty pleasure music
If they’d have won last night and the contest was held in France next year it would have been almost entirely in French. The whole thing. There would have been very little English used. Nothing wrong in that, just saying, They still give their scores in French.What I love about France is they stay resolutely French
So true. To slightly bastardise from the way Petra put it in an opening act a while ago:Also remember that we are just as bad for neighbourly voting as the rest of Europe.
Also the diaspora, I lived in London for years and *might* have voted for Ireland, no matter how shite it happened to have been. Lithuania gets the douze points from the Irish public regularly for the same reason.Also remember that we are just as bad for neighbourly voting as the rest of Europe. Giving most of our televote to Ireland (Im not counting Israel as we all know that was just Daily Mail readers who wouldn’t normally be seen dead watching Eurovision).
Like I said resolutely French!If they’d have won last night and the contest was held in France next year it would have been almost entirely in French. The whole thing. There would have been very little English used. Nothing wrong in that, just saying, They still give their scores in French.
That’s a good point.If they’d have won last night and the contest was held in France next year it would have been almost entirely in French. The whole thing. There would have been very little English used. Nothing wrong in that, just saying, They still give their scores in French.
