Re: UNITED KINGDOM 2018

Now that I've finally got my hands on the songs, Asanda has to win. Jaz Ellington is the only other option as it's different, the others are Denmark...

Re: UNITED KINGDOM 2018

Just listened to the songs with my brother. Not a single good one among them. Quality is beyond the pale. No wonder Guy Freeman was fired. UK bottom 5 for sure. Here is my ranking :

1. Surie - Storm 6/10
2. Raya - Crazy 4/10
3. Jaz Ellington - You 3.5/10
4. Asanda - Legends 3/10
5. Liam Tamne - Astronauts 2/10
6. Goldstone - I Feel The Love 2/10

I imagine Asanda will win, but I doubt it will matter in the end. There is no stand out entry. The UK delegation need to take a long, hard look at how they do things. The song writing is woeful and the lyrics seem to mostly be written by 12 year olds.

I came in with low expectations, but am still disappointed. What a shame.

Re: UNITED KINGDOM 2018

Legends would fare decently well with a revamp. ‘You’ is also a decent song but would finish dead last. There’s nothing memorable about it.

It's an uncomfortable cat in a towel. I feel it represents my personality rather well.

Re: UNITED KINGDOM 2018

Legends gives me Haba Haba and Be My Guest vibes, yet it's modern.. love the African elements

I hope it wins because let's be honest - Eurovision hasn't served great summer bops for a long time!

Re: UNITED KINGDOM 2018

"Legends" is my favourite. It is fresh, modern, energetic, it ticks all the boxes. I think it could do very well!

"You" is really really good, I can see this being a dark horse!! Such an amazing song!

"Astronaut" is decent but right side of the scoreboard

"Crazy" is ok.. harmless.. just a bit too simple

"I Feel The Love" its okay for an album track, It's not something to send to a competition, it just lacks something. Not a bad song at all

"Storm" This was the only song I wasn't a fan of. Seems like a last placer in ESC

Re: UNITED KINGDOM 2018

If I could just send either "Legends" or "You" this year and the other one next year then life would be perfect.

I don't know what I am seeing in "You" that others aren't - I have a really strange feeling that he could shock a lot of people if he goes to Eurovision. I think Jaz will smash it live!

Re: UNITED KINGDOM 2018

I really like A LOT three entries in it:

1. Jaz Ellington - "You"
2. Asanda - "Legends"
3. Liam Tamne - "Astronaut"

I'm almost sure first two will shine live as their style is good and they have very good vocals...for the third one I really dunno...
Liam Tamne - "Astronaut" reminds me a bit of last year Ireland - Brandon Murray!

Re: UNITED KINGDOM 2018

Anyone else think that "Storm" reminds you of Erika Selin "Break me up"? (just not as good as Erika)

Re: UNITED KINGDOM 2018

I don't like any of the songs, but I'd go with "Legends" as it is the most memorable of all, so the one with the most chances to avoid the bottom. It will be difficult though.

I agree a bit similar and I agree not as good lol. I was really hoping Ireland sent Erika but I am not hoping we send SuRie lol.
