"The UK entry was written by the trio themselves, along with Thomas Stengaard, Julie Aagaard, Tom Hollings, Sam Brennan and Kes Kamara."

Oh sh*t. Eurovision's favorite Danish producer just stepped into UK.

It’s a no form me. This doesn’t work at all in my opinion. The quirkiness and the fun vibe don’t fit to the O’G3NE kind of vocals. I think they should have gone for a more classic song like O’G3NE. And those tempo changes are rather annoying than adding anything to the song.

:3: points from me due to the decent vocals.

Following on from last year’s dizzying categorisation by myself of people who didn’t like Olly’s song (calling them homophobic…) this year…

If you give it less than 7 points, you are sexist :ROFLMAO:

This is a song that you have to see live before we know we like it. They are not music video people for sure.

What the hell is happening with the UK's selection? They have such a massive talent pool to choose from, and so many talented musicians. Why are they sending these generic songs? Don't get me wrong, the vocals are great, the overall quality seems good, but I think UK could do infinitely better than this. They aren't some small country with 20 singers/bands to choose from.

It is incredible how BBC doesn't put much effort in this event.
I don't know the perception in GB about ESC. I can just talk about Italy. Here, generally speaking, is considered like a low quality song wise event. But what our public broadcast RAI has understood is the importance of promoting Italian music&artists, that usually have nothing to do with ESC. And the results are evident, I'm not talking about the rankings. After partecipating in ESC some of the italian artists have organized tours and concerts throughout Europe and world Mengoni Mahmoud Maneskin Il Volo.
If BBC continues to consider ESC like a freak show and tent to choose artists suitable to this idea, bottom 5 will be booked in the next few years.

Apparently one of the members of Remember Monday was in Six: The Musical so we definitely know they can sing live.

Overall, I think this a decent song, but how well we do will come down to the staging.

I think this could be a song that will sound better live than on a studio version.

Same in Portugal. Maybe not about international tours but every fdc winner in recent years is doing well. And it gives projection. That is main plus for ESC nowadays.

I'm sorry but this is a terrible comparison. Sanremo was never established as a contest to select an act for Eurovision for Italy, it was a pre-existing song contest that became the source for Italian entries. Hell, the contest pre-dates Eurovision, is what Eurovision is based on, and had staff from Sanremo's production to make sure the first official show would be any good.

You are right, Sanremo was established to promote Italian music and culture, and I wish that the BBC took a similar path with their selection process. But it is frankly ludicrous to suggest that the BBC are treating Eurovision as a "freak show", if they really were doing that and weren't putting any effort into the event they'd go back to getting reality TV rejects with second hand songs from past artists.

Tbh now I've seen it with the music video I like it better. Still not that into it though. The girls seem so lovely and happy, and radiate positivity.
