It’s very Xenomania Biology/Round Round does Carrie Underwood but ordered from Temu

Not quite sure if I like it or not yet but mal schauen

Really think this is a far more interesting entry than Dizzy, which had limited replay value for me as a studio track. There's so much going on here that it's making me come back again and again. The video is great and they clearly are going to sell the hell out of this on stage, will be like a West End performance perhaps.

Very unsure how this will do, mainly because I don't know how the juries will score it, it doesn't feel like anything that's been in Eurovision before. No doubt the televote will pay it dust.

But bravo on sending a song that isn't down the line beige pop like usual.

It's giving Glee cover mashup

I'm full on obsessed with this. It's just so good! Insanely catchy and get hooked in by something different with each listen.

Also, trained West End stars tend to do well at Eurovision (Jade Ewen, Lucie Jones), certainly compared to the years either side of it anyway.

I hope this isn't cope because I am really excited about this, the music video really sells it, they look like they're having fun and so the stage show one would hope is similar.

It's an interesting country-pop song and that's often quite hard to do.

THIS is the perfect description.

Umm... It might be a grower?

Have listened to it a couple of times and genuinely just not that keen on it. The all-over-the-place style seems like someone took the Girls Aloud Biology / Jade Angel of my Dreams song writing book and gave it a try and came up with something not as good.

Like Space Man before it, it could just blow up and be great and have a sterling performance... but to me it just doesn't feel there.

And the title feels like it's supposed to be something like...

We just performed at Eurovision - What the HELL just happened?

We just won Eurovision - What the HELL just happened?

We just got NIL points - What the HELL just happened?

(you get my drift...)

I like this on first listen. I’m not going to obsess over how it will do - just glad it’s not Radio 2 fodder.

Sonically all over the place I don't even know what to think tbh

This is the reason why I think it'll lend itself to virality (whether ironically or not) really well

Girls this is unlistenable. Admire the attempt to push the boundaries but I never want to hear this again in my life.

I actually quite like this on first listen, its chaos in the very best way, I actually can't wait to see what they do on the staging side of things

I think the lyric “what the hell just happened? no clue, but I liked it.” sums up my thoughts on this entry. It’s a chaotic listen but it’s definitely engaging. I feel like it will need really good staging to sell it to the Eurovision audience - just not in a way that the vocals will be at risk.

I definitely get the ABBA, Space Man and Bohemian Rhapsody comparisons. I think they’ve looked at the chaos and engaging nature of the Nemo performance last year and tried to create something similar. I’m interested to see how this goes down and how they stage it.

I think that title perfectly sums up Europe's most likely reaction after this has been performed on this night. Another Jemini-esque result coming then for the UK!

I honestly see bottom 5.

You always do. Even if this was a top contender you’d still be saying the same…

I predicted a Sam Febder win, unless Ukraine got loads of votes!! And I drill think Electrovelvet could have fone well with good staging.

I feel like this has standout features on paper (big tempo shift between verses and chorus, 70s rock style guitars a la 'SPACE MAN', attention-grabbing title) but it's falling flat for me in execution ☹️

They do seem to be good vocalists at least which we've been crying out for post-Sam and I like their The Last Dinner Party-esque styling

Exactly what I said! They want to do a Nero or RinTin. It's what took them do long; the dong mudt have been an utter MESS, and they just kept adding genre after genre and change after change to it until the deadline.
