This song isn´t bad and much better than the last year´s entry, but not a winning song for me. 7 points.
The main problem is i can't really see the jury going over 100-150 points for this whereas i really can see France, Estonia, Bosnia, Denmark or even Serbia or Slovenia to be over 200 if they are the song with THE performance on eurovision night.
And I have the feeling they will diminish the song quality live.
I already see the blond one, (the less sexy of the two) to start singing too loud his part on his knees his eyes closed like he always does.
But this is a good song, very modern, shoud be in top 12.
Big 4 are back since they discover at esc 2009 that with good songs they could be in the top 5 & even win with a great one and their 'East hate us conspiracy' was just a big fraud to excuse little effort.

OMG I'm of Blue of stepping forward and putting UK back on the map. IF they perform well (which they usually do and have a track record for it) then I dont see why this shouldnt enter the top 5 if not win the contest.
At the end of the day, Jade was our more recent chance with a completely different style of song. This kind of music is different for the UK when entering Eurovision. Powerful vocals, a fresh, good look and a positive outlook!
NOW Im really excited. Look at the poll! On the whole when has this forum ever been wrong? Not very often! Nice one lads!!

Fantastic! So instead of coming last we're going to be bottom ten with a song that sounds a good five to six years out of date; cliched lyrics, whiny vocals and random 'come on' shouts throughout. I again reiterate that the BBC has absolutely no clue when it comes to these contests, and strengthens calls for a complete shake-up of the selection process. I think I will be vindicated on the night when this song does not capture the hearts of Eurovision fans and the public.
The usual cheerleaders will say this song is amazing, no doubt, and probably strengthen the BBC's position of sending complete failures to the contest, which is disappointing. No way shall I be supporting the UK on this endevour and nor will I be canvassing for UK votes. Complete embarrassment.

Great comeback kid.
Sorry, but I don't agree. This is the first time in the last 10 years the UK has taken the contest this seriously (one exception could be 2009 however), and I am pretty certain that both the juries and the televoters will appreciate that. In this weak year, Blue's song is one of the ones which really stands out imo, and they will be ranked very high (probably even win the competition). They are famous, and I wouldn't call the song "dated" as it is quite modern, and such songs are sailing the charts anyway. It has all potential to be a hit.
What do you mean by "usual cheerleaders"? UK was usually in my bottom 10 these last years (with Jade as an exception, she was in my top 10), but now it is my #1, so I appreciate the effort, and the good song, I don't mind what country it comes from

WOW... UK actually has music. Didn`t see that comming. A very good entry, but I have the feel that something is missing...
Well... at least they sing in native language

Whether or not you submit an 'established' act is not indicative of taking the contest seriously or not. I would agree that 2009 can be interpreted as a serious attempt, yet this doesn't prove any hypothesis.
Voters appreciate songs, not whether or not countries are 'trying'. I think it's obvious the contest has moved on from sympathy vote juries, ie votes for Bosnia-Herzegovian in the mid-1990s.

I can't agree with this. We will be tanked.

I think there's a tendency from some UK posters here to see the flag and immediately run with it. There's no critical analysis of selection processes or the BBC. I anticipate the usual 'LOVE IT WE WILL WIN' 'WE HAVE A CHANCE' 'THANKS FOR YOUR VOTES' and then the inevitable cliche of 'I THINK WE SHOULD BE PROUD AS THE PERFORMANCE WAS GOOD!!!' in the aftermath where we barely rise above Belarus in the battle for 15th place.
