His vocals aren't as bad Müller Lite on Talent

?

 

I really hope the vocals are better than that on Saturday.

I thought the vocals were good? It’s like everyone expects the UK to be pin point perfect every year.

I didn't say they were bad, or that they needed to be perfect, but it sounded a bit shaky.

Yeah his vocals weren’t great but not car crash either. On the plus side the choreography and staging was on point! I just hope he can finish a respectable top 10.

Not the biggest increase, prior to the semis it was only charting in the UK -

I don’t think his vocals were bad. I’ve heard him sound a lot worse live

 

I wasn’t bowled over by the staging but can see why people are raving about it :)

How soon before the contest in the prior two years were Sam Ryder and Mae Muller added to Hot Hits UK?

I can’t remember with Sam but I’m sure Mae got almost instant support?

Definitely not, they were both added in the days running up to it. I'm just trying to establish so I know when to expect Olly to appear on there.

I must be thinking of NMF that supported Mae.

 

Hopefully Olly appears soon - with the 3 physical versions of his song and multiple mixes etc., hopefully he’ll be challenging for a Top 10/20.

 

In other news, ‘Dizzy’ is currently #2 on the Finnish iTunes so it’s at least connecting with some of Europe.

If it's NMF, no as both Mae and Olly appeared on the playlist on the week their songs were released

Hot Hits UK is the one I'm referring to

 

I did a bit of digging and last year Mae was actually added on the 15th, which was the Monday after the contest took place!

I love our entry so much this year. I've really taken to it and I am impressed with our performance too. Olly has never been the best live vocalist, but I've definitely heard worse.

Performance Version has been released -

 

I’m afraid I didn’t really enjoy the SF1 performance of this at all. Yeah the staging’s nice but that doesn’t make up for everything else. :(

Yeah he did sound rather out of breath to me mainly at the start but he did pick up vocally towards the end. Staging is great though and hope Olly can still avoid the bottom several at the very least.

Based on SF1 I can see it only beating the German song so we could be set for a repeat bottom 2! I don’t know whether France and Spain have flop entries yet though.

The sound of Olly’s performance sounded better from all the audience recordings than the BBC performance.

 

I still think he sounded decent but the expectation is high.

Even if he absolutely nailed the vocals I don’t think the song is top half material. The standard is high now and a middling radio friendly pop track doesn’t cut it. As ever I’m happy to be proved wrong.
