I'm still not over the BBC allowing such a provocative staging. I'll never forgot the moment of that clip reveal and seeing what equated to soft gay porn. :LOL:

Great camera work and decent entry (studio verison) but Olly butchered it live - especially the ending was utterly horrendous. The song didn't need that climax - especially since he wasn't able to pull it off vocally.

The staging was absolutely distasteful and tacky - apart from this forum and a few gay pop forums like ukmix or Popjustice, I haven't met a single person who thought that it was a good idea to try to sell the song that way.

I applaud Olly for attempting to create something brave with such performance in front of million of viewers (especially when conserative parts of Europe tuned in) but dunno, I think it would have been more suitable for some MTV awards.

Everything considered (+ other competitive entires and vocally more convincing performances), the 0 pts in televoting weren't even that surprising.
The whole staging was utterly off-putting, unless you're gay and have some sort of urinals in a filthy shower kind of kink.

Not sure if anybody mentioned them before (and I refuse to search through all pages to see if it has). I think DearAlice will represent the UK

Doesn’t fit with them going back to Sam Ryder’s manager at all it won’t be them.

Well ... there were participants who were announced for some festivals and then ended up changing their plans after getting chosen for the ESC but with how UK goes about selecting their entries - not opting for NFs this is unlikely to be a scenario with anyone who gets picked.

There are very strong rumours that our Eurovision act could be revealed on Friday during the final of The Traitors! Which would make sense as it’s now the most watched TV show in the UK (other than Eurovision, obviously).

I have visions of our act standing there with a Traitors cloak on - perhaps an announcement of an announcement rather than the full reveal?
