I don't think it's fully about the stage show so much as I don't think Asanda had the levels of stage experience that SuRie obviously had. Legends wasn't doomed to be performed poorly but it was maybe, in hindsight, too high risk to give that song to the act with the least performing experience.
Although my attitude towards it has slightly mellowed in light of Lisbon and that stage invasion - given that guy was probably going to try and invade the stage anyway I'm glad that he didn't ruin the experience for someone as young as Asanda (not that it was good that SuRie got him instead but I think for her it turned out alright in the end). |

Has anyone heard anything yet from Lostintv.com about applying for tickets I notice the website is still accepting applications.
Cue pandemonium on the day / evening. |

QUOTE(mald487 @ Jan 22 2019, 06:21 PM) This is risk you run with national finals in general I think. The songs appear online and fans get excited about one song in particular that sounds great in studio form but falls flat on the night. Then another less amazing song is performed better and because most people are only seeing them for the first time they just go with the best perfomance which is totally understandable. In hindsight if the acts had more time to prepare and rehearse then who knows..maybe Legends would have gone through, but again this is another issue with the current format. The stronger songs(usually faster/dance songs) which require a more complicated stage routine look messy because the artist hasn't had time to nail the performance down properly. Why not just pick 1 great song internally e.g. Legends, have 3 months to iron out all the creases and 200% ready in May? I know some people don't like Internal selections but national finals sure as hell aren't helping the UK at the moment. That, though, is also what happens in the final. Most viewers will be hearing most of the songs for the first time. |

“Bigger Than Us” is the first song, co-written by John Lundvik and Laurell Barker!

Ooh Laurell did Legends, All The Feels and Stones last year *.* Less excited by John but at least he isn't singing it.
oh it's crap lmao, at least I'm not feeling that Michael Rice guy singing it. An All Together Now winner, is that better or worse than a Voice reject?

The first version is sung by Michael Rice, winner of ‘All Together Now’. Sadly it isn’t a banger like any of those songs, it’s quite typical X Factor winners single.

It's definitely a John Lundvik Melfest reject.

Holly Tandy from X Factor 2017 is doing the second version of it.
