I think the general conception of Europe's music taste is outdated and wrong. We are not into cheesy as much as some think at all.

 

I think this'll pick up several points and end up ay #22, with a small possibility of goinf top 20 of it connects with Poland etc. like Caro Emerald did, as they kind of remind me of her

I actually quite like this and don't think it sounds like a nul-pointer / last placer at all? (I say this as someone who barely follows Eurovision but still it sounds like a much better choice of entry than Engelbert or Bonnie ever did to me at least).

Well it's better than Engelbert or Bonnie, but not much isn't!

This is something that the Incest Brother/Sister Couple from X-Factor would sing in Week 8.

Didn't Germany do this better and failed miserably back in 2009?

tbh I do love this 1920s throwback songs and so this is a pleasant listen. From what I've heard, it's mainly ballads that have been sent so at least it will stand out! Also, at least there are no high expectations and nothing to get disappointed over like last year.

 

The guy part needs a better singer though, thats one key part that often seems to need improvement with our entries.

The more I play it, the worse it gets.

 

I'm stopping now.

Oh my sweet god WHAT IS THIS?

 

I think I'm ON BOARD! http://www.moopy.org.uk/forums/images/smilies/grin.gif It's APPALLING but you almost have to admire that they think DOOP COVERED BY AN AMIGA is the SOLUTION FOR ROYAUME-UNI

 

At least it'll appeal to SOMEONE! (even if that someone is only enough to get us to 16th)

Really :( what a choice, it sounds very cheesy and dated, bring back Gemini all is forgiven ^_^

Here is Bianca in action on The Voice!

 

This is something that the Incest Brother/Sister Couple from X-Factor would sing in Week 8.

 

SAME DIFFERENCE impact *.*

Bianca's from Beckenham though, i.e. 5 minutes away from where I live. *.*

If Latvia can win with that naff piece of cheap shit in 2002 (I know it was a while back)... 90% of me says bottom five, 10% of me says it will slay the Top 10.

SAME DIFFERENCE impact *.*

 

 

:lol:

 

I still preferred Two Up, Two Down though.

This is growing on me. Slightly. It's still awful, but endearingly so. And knowing Eurovision, this will do better than Molly :lol:

 

Everything sounds so much better after you calm down :P

So, I just listened to this kinda drunk at 5:50am in the morning, I didn't have the pre-existant nerves of "oh my god, please be okay" like I did with Molly (and with Molly, I was one of the most negative initially so maybe I'm a good judge of performance).

 

I am extremely torn on this. It's a marmite entry yet I'm not sure how I feel. It's cringy, it's not modern, it's not what I wanted, it doesn't sound like a hit, the guy is annoying, the electro instrumental bits of awfully amateur.

 

Yet I don't hate it? It actually IS extremely instant, I feel worse about it than I did with Molly on first listen, the hook is such a worm and I can imagine them getting a great performance out of it. It's not what I wanted and we can rule out even coming close to a win but there's something about it which DOES work. If we can master it with some kind of appropriate performance (which I'm not too hopeful of, we are the UK at Eurovision after all), then it is actually a lot more instant than Molly was. The production doesn't need to be improved, it's perfectly accurate for what it is. I'm not sure but the instant impact and the fact I think we can get something to work with this makes me think we'll get a very similar placing to 'Children Of The Universe', something like 19th/20th.

 

If I'd listened at the time though, I'd definitely have been disappointed though.

 

(do people seriously think this would be better with just the female though, the male might be absolutely abhorrent but there's no WAY this would work better solo)

I'm thinking so much about this, I pray they make something of the performance of this - with Molly, we could've done a whole range of things but this type of song is calling for a specific type of production. A tinted screen, a la The Common Linnets, old fashioned microphones, two flapper dancers either side of them. It's not what I wanted but there's a direction with this and I think Guy has got a grasp of the performance element which he we can encorporate but has abandoned the concept of song itself.

 

A total lost cause? Not quite I don't think but I'm far from confident and I would like to take over as entry selector as of next year because I don't believe this is the best that we could work with. At all.

So I have listened to this song a few times now and I'm still really annoyed that this is what they have given us. If this really was the best then how horrendous was everything else?

 

There are elements of the song which do get stuck in your head, I agree but everything about it is so poorly done and crap that I don't even want to start to like it. I'd just be making myself like something awful because I want the UK to do well at eurovision ... Maybe them getting the first 27th place would be the most rememberable thing that this song will garner in future memory though ! And to be honest I kinda want it to come last so that it forces big changes at the BBC - another mediocre result and they will plod along with their bbc radio 2 big wigs advising and 'holy grail guy freeman' who talks the talk but never walks the walk.

 

The best we can hope is that a Germany situation happens > they pull out and then the song which the bbc thought was the worst is the only song left available and they have to send that... Which means it'll be amazing because the bbc didn't like it.

 

God this is a train wreck - maybe with some good promo and a new studio mix it could be ok?!

 

That string thing what even is it?!
