Re: UNITED KINGDOM 2018
I don't know...I knew it would be hopeless to hope for something better than Lucies song last year...and it wasn't even close this time. Some songs has "something" going on, but lacks something else. "Legends" seems like a showstopper, but damn what a messy song.... "Astronaut" has a great singer, goosebump-worthy even, but man how tired I get of it for the 2nd chorus. "You" has great verses, but no chorus at all... and "Storm" feels like something Emmelie De Forest would write one late night, but in the end just let it burn in the fireplace. The other two songs feels absolutely pointless. I don't know what to pick here...just pick something UK, I don't even care.

Re: UNITED KINGDOM 2018
I actually LOVE Legends, I can admit that it's a bit messy but it's at least a bit original, and it feels like it's really close modern RnB. It would be really fun to see how this kind of song would do in ESC, I think it has great staging potential! Hopefully we get to see that already in You Decide, because then I think it will sail through and win!

1. Liam Tamne - Astronaut. Very pretty, especially the chorus. I don't know how well it would do because the UK usually manages to mess up the staging, but quality wise, this would be their best in a few years.
2. SuRie - Storm. Hey brother, hey sister... Avicii much? Lol. But it's not bad.
3. Jaz Ellington - You. The song itself is not bad, nothing groundbreaking but not awful either. But his look in that official video... Seems like he's insufferable.
4. Raya - Crazy. Very bland.
5. Asanda - Legends. Loud, shouty, messy. No thanks.
6. Goldstone - Feel the Love. Awful.
Another weak batch for the UK.

'Crazy' feels like such a downgrade lyrically when compared to the likes of 'Á ný '.

Another indredibly generic selection this year
the only decent choice is Jaz who has a nice song and a great voice. The others feel like bottom 5 confimed to me... and that song from that girlband is beyond tragic

Re: UNITED KINGDOM 2018
This is legit the best NF so far
I love all the songs except "You", which I only like (tho it's million times better than the boringfests the Spanish NF has)
My ranking:
1. Asanda - Legends
2. RAYA - Crazy
3. SuRie - Storm
4. Goldstone - I Feel The Love
5. Liam Tamne - Astronaut
6. Jaz Ellington - You
Can't wait for February 7

It seems that BBC is trying really hard to be as bland as possible.

Re: UNITED KINGDOM 2018
Well, it's better than I expected. My favourite is "You" by Jaz Ellington. I only do not like "Crazy" (now watch it win).
Here is my order:
JAZ ELLINGTON — “YOU”
ASANDA — “LEGENDS”
LIAM TAMNE — “ASTRONAUT”
GOLDSTONE — “I FEEL THE LOVE”
SURIE — “STORM”
RAYA — “CRAZY”

SuRie - Storm 1 / 12 - super bland, could be an entry for Malta ESC, ridiculous lyrics
Jaz Ellington - You 0 / 12 - super bland snooze fest, screams zero points
Liam Tamne - Astronaut 1 / 12 - super uncatchy Kygo reject, cringeworthy lyrics
RAYA - Crazy 0 / 12 - terrible, generic beat and lyrics,
Goldstone - I feel love 8 / 12 - sassy upbeat funky, prefer it to Og3ne, Top 10 alert
Asanda - Legends 1 / 12 - different but very awkward, Legends tonight does not make sense
