February 28, 20205 yr If this was a female Buzzjack: amazing what a smash This! I’m pleased it’s being well received by the general public - holding up in the iTunes Top 10 and he’s already started on the promotion trail.... regardless of outcome I’ll take this any day over ElectroVelvet, Josh Dubovie, Michael Rice etc., Edited February 28, 20205 yr by ___∆___
February 28, 20205 yr If this was a female Buzzjack: amazing what a smash no one: lee: omg buzzjack is so sexist!!1
February 28, 20205 yr It’s good when even the BBC don’t think the song is strong enough to beat most songs :lol: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-51642350
February 28, 20205 yr Reduced to 59p on iTunes and is featured on Spotify’s NMF. Amazing to see a ESC song pushed in the U.K.!
February 28, 20205 yr "Songs that come last tend to be boring, unconvincing or poorly-performed." they finally said it. #michaelrice
February 28, 20205 yr As much as if I want to like it, it just feels underwhelming, the track does not go anywhere, really lost faith in our British selection for a long while now. And an artist who I hardly know apart from related to John Newman. I can easily see this in the bottom 10 in the final. The French selection is hideous, enough said.
February 28, 20205 yr I like this song but I'm kind of underwhelmed by the "one last ............ breath!" part. It needs just a little bit more of a kick. Are internally selected songs every given revamps? Hopefully it'll be great live too, just realised I actually playlisted a song of his last year and my brain just kind of wrote it down as John Newman lmao :lol:
February 28, 20205 yr This! I’m pleased it’s being well received by the general public - holding up in the iTunes Top 10 and he’s already started on the promotion trail.... regardless of outcome I’ll take this any day over ElectroVelvet, Josh Dubovie, Michael Rice etc., At least with the ElectroVelvet one they took a bit of a risk, rather than going for something safe sounding, fair enough it didn't work out well in terms of scoring.
February 28, 20205 yr The deadline being in eight days suggests that this is very likely the final version (as is any and all internal selections revealed in the next week).
February 28, 20205 yr This isn't too bad, has a strong chorus and it's nice they got someone with actual industry experience than some nobody. Sadly, I'm not sure I can see it properly standing out on the night and it could very well easily slip to a mid-to low 20s position. I'm not sure how BBC haven't grasped yet that this X Factor debut, radio-friendly, mid-tempo sound isn't the standout we need to break out of the bottom 5.
February 28, 20205 yr It's our best entry since Molly quite easily and I think a similar result is likely. Not a televote grabber but will hopefully bank a decent jury score. I read on Twitter (?) that BMG want to be involved with Eurovision for a few years and mentioned how The Netherlands overhauled their Eurovision fortunes, so hopefully that plan doesn't go out the window if this underperforms.
March 5, 20205 yr This song sounds like a somewhat more... competent? entry than the usual from us. It's not really massively my thing but it seems like the kind of song that could actually be a moderate hit in the UK which hasn't been true of like any of our entries for the last decade. A step in the right direction, maybe the juries might like it xx
March 14, 20205 yr It just has nothing about it does it? Has he lowered the key for the live performance too? There are no notes to put much effort in for. This is going to stand out zero amounts, will we even get a point from televotes? Will juries like this over the others? Think our saving grace is a poor field to pitch against but I still think we are in for a bottom 5 finish if not last.
March 14, 20205 yr Oh Lord. ZERO personality. At all. Dead last again :') I tend to agree with this. It's not a ballad, nor is it a dance track. Pretty sure no one will care about it. Well, maybe 1 point from Ireland. Last place here we ago again Britain. If only Adele could do the UK this favour someday. :angel: Her name alone would guarantee a top 5 place.

March 15, 20205 yr That 'performance' was one of the most lack lustre things I've ever seen, no personality, vocals worst than the recording and phoning it in completely. The recorded version is at least decent but that was bad. If they do it like that on the night we're coming last again.
March 15, 20205 yr If he comes out and performs it like that, I wouldn't be surprised with single digit points on the night. The new split of jury and televote makes it hard to get 0 but I think they could even do a Sisters or Manel Navarro and get 0 on one or the metrics :lol:
