Good performance by Blue, but boy band shlock isn't really my cup of tea.

I heard the radio version so was hoping they'd pull it out the bag and they certainly did. Great vocals, great look, great overall performance!!

It's ok, but it doesn't seem to have much of a structure to it. It's all chorus to me. There are verses there, but they seem to go so quickly and don't build to anything. It seems to me almost as if they've written a four minute song and then just sped the whole thing up to fit it into the ESC rules.

I don't think this will win, but will still get a good result, which is exactly what I want. So, in those terms, I love the song.

It's great to have an up-tempo entry to be proud of :D. Im really glad they didnt go for the tradition boy-band ballad sound!

Well then. One of three entries this year to give me goosebumps on the first listen. The other two being Bosnia, and Slovenia.

Great job UK.

I must point out though, the guy doing most of the vocals needs to sharpen up juuuust a bit.

Thank you xkiss. I got goosebumps when I heard it too - I think it's one of my fave Eurovision songs ever! :mrgreen:

...why are people so in love with this preformance..it ain't bad, but I'm not seeing this one as a winner of ESC. I stand by saying that it's a good song, that will easily get top 15, problably top 10!

Still much better than most the crap that usually UK sends, so thumbs up for that! :D xup

^ If it only manages to get in to the top 15, the United Kingdom will be gutted! :lol:
Personally I will be happy if we can further Jade's result from 2009 - so there are 4 places left and I think Blue can do it - they've worked really hard on this so far and will continue to do for the next 8 weeks... I may be slightly biased (:mrgreen:) but to me the performance tonight was virtually flawless and Im sure it will be even more so on May 14 :D.
