Well, I'm not a fan of it at all. It is incredibly cheesy and irritating, the be boppy part is horrendous. I guess at least it isn't boring as we've had some pretty boring ones lately in Bonnie/Engelbert and it does get stuck in your head. I don't think it'll come last but it certainly won't do much. Why do UK even take part anymore if they just take the piss with sending this crap?

Do we all honestly think it stands NO CHANCE of winning. I'm probably living in hope land, but I actually really like the song and it could either win or fail miserably imo.

Tbh I think you're right here, it's a very brave choice, and it could be a winner, it definitely stands out in a very bland year. It's not a work of art, but it is VERY catchy and if it sounds and looks good on stage then I don't think it will be a disaster for us. That's a big ask though.

Actually I don't mind it now after a few more listens, its pretty catchy the track draws you in, I suppose we could get 12 points from the Netherlands :magic:

?

This literally stands no chance of winning. Listen to the last ten years - even the most incongruous winner (Running Scared) stood out as having mass appeal in a way that this just doesn't at all. A shock jury-led top ten isn't out of the question but this has nothing going for it to make it a potential winner.

I think, on balance of probabilities, this is a BIG FAT FLOP in the making. It could do alright, though I think top 10 is 100% out of the question, but I just can't imagine who is going to actively think 'that's the best song of the night' or even CLOSE to being the best. In a field of 27 songs it's really got its work cut out for it.

I think the BBC just see Eurovision as easy high ratings now, they know people will watch no matter how bad/floppy our entry is. But ratings would probably fall a lot if we had no entry.

Ok so after even a few more listens, I still think it's awful but it does get stuck in your head. But at the same time, if a horrid song got stuck in my head on the night, would I vote for it? I doubt it!

The only saving grace for this song will probably be that there are so many boring ballads - here's to hoping that we get a few uptempo pop songs to come as I really don't want to see this song pick up points on default and do better than molly. Hopefully the jury of music experts will see this as the UK taking the piss and not award it points... If it gets a high jury vote then that really would bring in to question who exactly are these experts!

 

I think Australia needs to reconsider sending a ballad too because they have a Great singer and as the new kid in the class, they could really wipe the floor with contest if they opt for uptempo.

 

I still don't think we have a song of perfection in the contest yet this year but a few very good entries.

That's why I mention that juries would be the only hope, as the new jury voting system means you only need a couple of jury members to put you in their top five and the rest to not hate you to whack you top ten on the jury vote overall.

Put a gun to my head and I'm thinking - although the quality is a universe behind last year - it will probably come around 17th.

 

But... I just can't rule out a high top ten finish entirely. If the staging can gloss over the fact this is a cheap and nastily produced song, it's a very tricky one to predict.

True and I'm sure a few will. I expect we will get about 30 points or so, probably 24-26th (though last is of course a possibility too). It's just such a shame that we are BACK HERE after Molly showed so much promise, if not results.

Most viewed ESC song on the official Eurovision channel by a mile - 400,000+ views. Cant quite work out if Europe are laughing at us or loving the entry - Either way it's certainly got people talking, sharing and viewing which can only be a good thing seeing as we don't get a semi performance and miss out on the extra exposure. I'm not for one minute saying we're going to be a contender but Top 15 is looking a possibility [15 years ago this would have been a disaster for the UK but could be claimed a success these days :lol: ]

By the way does anyone know if they actually have a record deal? Or when it's released?

This thing refuses to leave my head! That violin hook is really the biggest earworm I've heard in a while.

 

I can't get behind it like I supported the likes of Molly and Blue but it's memorable in a ridiculous way!

I'm suffering with violin too (I say 'suffering', but I do actually like the song). :lol:

The more I hear it, the more I think it will do well

 

(the more I hear it, the more deluded i get)

I wonder why the uk never brings back a former entrant anymore? Other counties do it with various success but I do think it's a good idea because there is already a eurovision fanbase/ recognition of the artist in place to an extent. Anyway I say this because I just saw that Jade ewen is doing some tour with Andy Abraham and the first series winner of the voice... Which seems like a total waste of her potential. For me, jade is one of the best singers we ever sent but the choice of song was incorrect and should have been uptempo like her déjà vu performance ... Anyway anybody else feel that we should send jade or another contestant back again? Or should we always send somebody else to have a crack at winning?

I must be the only one to like it :wub: The 'bopping' part is called scatting and its what people like Louis Armstrong used to do in the 1940's 50's B-)

 

Even though I like it I dont think it will win or even come close unfortunatley.

 

 

Interestingly the girl auditioned on The Voice, Ive always thought they should make it that the winner of the voice should represent the uk for eurovision.

On first hearing I really like this. Bit quirky and a bit different.
