United Kingdom UNITED KINGDOM 2018 - SuRie - Storm

[marty]

the song is ok. i dont like her voice. 4 points.

 

[QwaarJet]

Also, our song is terrible, as was our NF. Back to normal service after a surprisingly decent entry last year.

At this stage I already prefer the UK entry this year, and that's before the inevitable revamp. The NF was bad, but I think they rescued things with the result.

 

[martin]

Love this song, but don,t think it will do well. Surie is a good singer, but don,t see people will remember this song.

 

[Nicfedy]

Easily the best entry so far and the best UK for a long time.

 

[megzpegz]

I still can't stop listening to legends, But her vocals were bad so it is probably best she didn't win.

As much as I hate to bring them up with a Eurovision sense, I stumbled across this on YouTube last night... under 3 minutes, funky, catchy and a great performance, oh what could've been...

I loooooove that song

Well they may have had some international jury members in the "panel of 8 experts" who were mysteriously anonymous, but I guess we'll never know. Honestly, why is it so hard to just announce scores like they do in Melfest or every other song contest worth anything? Even a "6th place goes to...., 5th place goes to...." would be better.

BBC wake up! We don't want 30 minutes of filler material that we've seen already or that makes us cringe (hello celebrity judges!) we want a proper tension building voting phase with each section of the UK represented and the judges votes separate. Please make it happen!

I actually meant that I wish we foreign esc fans could vote as well. I went to the website and it said only UK visitors could vote.

Ah, I don't think any NF allows public votes from other countries (unless I'm mistaken). I've wanted to vote in MF for years but alas, have no Swedish mobile

A Dal used to allow it (not sure if they stopped the app voting as a whole or just for foreigners this year), not that it has a big impact on the results.

 

[ParadiseES]

I feel so bad for her and I'm giving 4 points... It's not a bad song and her performance was the best of the night. But this screams Germany 2017 all the way and not every year you can have a Manel to avoid the last place...

Off the top of my head, Latvia has an online voting component available internationally, and Finland tried it out a couple of years ago (I remember sending in a few for Opera Skaala myself). It's rare though, yeah.

I suppose such a thing is hard to control to make sure each of these 'international' votes are a legit vote and not some bot an entrant has bought. I remember in 2015 Latvia having online votes from Kenya etc. Who knew they had esc fans. Not only that, it's a national contest and I don't think people would like their entry being decided by foreigners and made to look like their vote counts for nothing. International Jury one thing as it is controlled and we know who votes there, allowing anyone and everyone in the televote is another.

 

[HSV1887]

The singer is a poor man's Annie Lennox and the song is a total bore. Hard pass!

 

[GWTW1939]

Every time it seems the UK has a year that shows them on the right path they follow it by going right back to the dumpster

Josh after Jade
Engelbert after Blue
Electro Velvet after Molly (she flopped hard but the BBC really did a respectable job overall)
SuRie after Lucie

they seem to learn nothing and are incapable of putting two great years back to back

I haven't thought about that.
You are so right.
I think that these entries were decent, and BBC did a good job:

 

[Rusch]

Oh England. Didn't you learn anything. This song is so average. But average will get you no points.

 

[hijirio]

It's a puzzle to me even how they actually accepted this song to the selection.
If you have nothing original to bring to the table, just don't bring it.

Also, don't even make a NF if you won't reveal the results.
BBC acting like Belarus.
Where is democracy?
The name of the show "You Decide" sounds like an irony.

But Love Will Set You Free is an amazing song and Engelbert performed it so great. It only doesn't speak up for young audience, probably.

Nah, the performance was a mess...
