That looks fab, exactly what she needs!!

 

*comes 21st instead of 25th*

There's a clip of the final 30 seconds of the perf on the official BBC Eurovision twitter, sadly I can't embed it here because this site still exists in 1944.

Literally, exactly what I wanted to happen during the note :o

Nailing that 15th place love. No really, I'm glad the BBC are giving a shit with the staging and we all know Lucie will kill the stage and work the cameras.

All reviews are absolutely incredible. Don't want to get carried away but I think she can achieve left hand side.

 

Irish guy on WIwibloggs said he wasn't a fan of the show but it is now his number one

I'm still in shock that the BBC seems to have absolutely nailed the staging for once! The song has continued to grow on me, in fact I can't believe the song that I heard on that Monday morning radio show back in January is where it's at right now.

Indeed, if what they pull out of the bag is truly as good as they're saying it is then props to the BBC for managing that progress!

I'm sure Wiwi are going a bit overboard and may have a bit of bias with one of them being British and another one Irish, but their review of the rehearsal had me salivating. One of them saying it would be a potential winner if it wasn't the UK :mellow:

 

I was hoping for top 15 but I may raise that a little and ask for 12th (what Ira managed last year off the back of big jury backing)

THE HARMONIES IN NETHERLANDS JESSSSUSSSSSS *.*

 

I'm getting more and more confident in my top 10 bet on them. Also brilliant to see Lucie gain momentum, I do think Wiwiblogs are going a bit overboard (shocker :kink:) but I'm gonna optimistically say top 15 (why do I always do this to myself, I should really keep to thinking the UK will be last so anything else is a bonus). The staging is spot on and exactly what the song needs.

Not quite sure where this post should go so might as well go here, but there's a very interesting twitter thread about the UK entry in the light of the results of the French Election

There were some technical issues with the mirrors during the second rehearsal but they should be sorted for the proper performance. She hiccuped during it but got straight on with the rest of the song! :lol:

Seeing the jury final live (which included the recording of the Spain/UK/Italy performances that will be shown in the broadcast), the UK was the best performance of the whole night and I never thought I'd say that! The (fairly empty) arena were all clapping as soon as she hit the big note, even Italy felt a little flat coming after the UK.

 

Now I'm not saying Lucie's coming top 5 or anything like that, the song just isn't strong enough to hook enough people in. But juries really should be putting this solidly inside the top 10 for vocal and performance ability and overall we should challenge to scrape into the top half.

I am soooo glad. The song has grown on me a LOT and it must finish top 10 now.

 

She's definitely my favorite, she's getting better with every rehearsal and I love her voice/energy so much :wub:
