Liking this on first listen, definitely very It's a Sin, but it's got some great synth production that sounds quite 90s. I do unfortunately think it's missing that really powerful chorus or crescendo that makes it stand out like Spaceman though which could possibly risk it blending it in, but a big improvement on last year so hopefully a better result x

Also think 'Dizzy' is great. Shame it didn't make it in to the top 40 today but should do in May anyway. Hopefully does okay in Eurovision. Wouldn't deserve last place or bottom 5!

Ya it was fairly close to making it aswell but ended up at 42 but it will easily go top 40 in a few weeks time.

Would have loved it to make it but like you say it will get there - there is prime time TV promo and then I’m sure remixes and physicals to come and of course, Eurovision. |

#42 isn't bad for first week really - Mae debuted higher but she came off the back of Sam Ryder's huge success the previous year so was naturally more hype

The SNT performance sold the song a bit more to me.

The Big 5 countries and host (Sweden) will perform in the semis this year
 I’ve always thought there was a disadvantage to the Big 5 not being in the semis so welcome this change. |

Just heard the song and I think this is radio-friendly and the production is good. However, the chorus melody feels very flat and I don't find it memorable at all. I much prefer last year's entry tbh. I think this song will depend on the staging and vocals on the night, so hope they deliver! It's a solid 6/10 for me.

Apparently former Y&Y member Emre liked a comment someone put on that Instagram about the fact they should’ve stayed together and sorted out any differences.
I imagine he's not too happy at all his music being billed as "Olly Alexander (Years & Years)" on streaming platforms... EDIT: I found the post, announcing that him & Mikey are making new music together. A comment calling them "The real Years & Years" is also liked lol. |

^^ I remember when the spilt happened and the posts the band members made, it all seemed like a bit of a surprise to them that the band had come to an end.
In terms of Olly’s streaming billing I’m sure he appreciates it’s a need, rather than starting off as a solo artist with 0 monthly listeners. |

In my opinion, this is a really big year for the UK in terms of their fortunes. If Olly finishes really low then what next? Would officially confirm that Sam Ryder was a fluke although we didn't take it seriously with Mae Muller due to the expense in hosting again had she won.

We’ll do well when we send the right song and act. I don’t think Olly is that - it’s not going to be an embarrassing performance but I doubt it’s going to excite many people either. I think we could be right at the foot of the table again, but I’m happy to be proved wrong - and I’ll enjoy the contest in any case.

The whole "we deliberately send bad entries so we don't have to host" conspiracy is something I've never really understood.They have pumped a lot more support behind the entries since Sam. When was the last time a Eurovision entry got a performing spot on UK TV as big as Saturday Night Takeaway? Unless his vocals falter on the night (or the sound screws him over), I can't see why he can't finish in the top half. |

It's just not a good song, it's dated, ans Olly is past it. He had his peak ages ago and only turn3d in flops since then. |

We had rhe choice between MIRACLES!!!!!! by Calvin Haeeis, whoch might have beat Loreen, especially as the last song and rhe host entry, oe Muller Lite on Talent... |

It'd be nice if you could for once provide a source to back up this supposed theory behind 'Miracle' being intended for Eurovision, seeing as you've been endlessly banging on about it for well over a year now.
A pretty extensive search on Google has returned nothing credible to corroborate it, and Calvin himself shut down the suggestion on X (formerly known as Twitter) very early on. |
