I agree. Josh has charm, hes perfect. But the song really is not.

some excerpts from a recent interview
http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/progin ... sion.shtml
However good the songs are, though, what the other performers won't have are the "several wind machines" that are promised to liven up Josh's performance ("We just want to blow you all away," he jokes) and the help of star stylist Frank Strachan, who has styled the likes of Kylie Minogue, Girls Aloud and the Pet Shop Boys. "We're still talking about what I'm going to be dressed in but something that ripples in the wind hopefully! Maybe a toga or something," he laughs, admitting to being happy to be at Frank's mercy. "I trust him and the production team so I'm sure everything will be fine."
and
"Pete's been very busy but he did pop into the studio and was very impressed with the whole production and how things are going. He's happy so that's good. And Mike told me just to enjoy it and said if there's any negative press not to worry, that's going to come. He said 50 per cent of people might not like it, 50 per cent of people will – so that's great, 100 per cent of people will be talking about it!"
And Josh's own views towards any negativity make him sound much wiser than his years would suggest: "I think instead of being negative we should be behind our country. We're doing this not because we want to upset anybody, we're doing this because it's a contest and it brings Europe together as a whole. Instead of finding faults with our entry I think we should all get behind the UK. If other countries see us not wanting to support our own country then they're not going to want to support us either," he says.
Win or lose, Josh says the main thing he's hoping to do is to have fun. "I want to go out there and enjoy myself. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity so I want to absorb it and just take everything as it comes and enjoy having an audience of 23,000 in front of me – it's not going to come round every day!"
i'm one of the 50% who like the song and the 100% that cannot stop talking about it!
a lot of secrecy surrounding the stage show.. very intriguing.. lets hope its a belter..

Let's start with the positive. They are doing all they can to impress us. Josh sounds good so vocally he should be okay. There is a lot of stuff happening onstage and I enjoy the stair/box thing they brought along. So visually appealing all the way
Let's continue with the bad.......the song sucks!
Good luck UK

Oh god this performance is like giving a worn down shack some curb appeal. It'll still be ignored by European audiences I believe.

the second rehearsal went well.. i like the 'altered' ending..
not sure if it will be repeated on saturday.. but it was nice
http://www.eurovision.tv/page/multimedi ... s?id=16743
look out for another clip of this rehearsal..
it shows a very large monitor in front of the stage and
from time to time you can see how it will look on the night..
and the performance looks great..

I think that the scene helpes this song a lot and he can sing live ... Also, I like his accent but I just don't think any of this really helps. In my oppinion it won't go far and it doesn't appeal too much to me either.
