Well, God help you UK.. :mrgreen:

2 pts in the poll from me..

I've just watched their performance from the NF, their vocal skills are quite poor it seems... :( have to improve a lot for Stockholm..

I'm really happy! Sure, this song could use a little revamp but nevertheless it's catchy and the boys are very likeable.

I also quite liked "Even if", it was for the UK here in Belgrade, I watched Andy live in Arena, it was kinda fun! :D

We've definitely chosen the best looking contestants from the National Final! :p I'll be interested to see how this looks in a month or two. See if they can iron out the problems (harmonising being a biggie for me) and work this into something really special.

Voted for Darline and Bianca, so Joe & Jake win. Typical. I'm not happy and i'm not disappointed either. I really do hope they work on the song quite a lot, like they said they would, because it needs it.

I hope for them that BBC will invest some money in gimmicks, so they can disguise their poor singing skills and make memorable a meh song.

EU propaganda worked for Italy in 1990 so why not for the UK in 2016 :mrgreen:

I cant wait for the 2017 UK song... "No Regrets" "Better Off Alone" or "I don't miss you" or Stronger Without You" lol

Awh so happy, ever since I heard this I was like yep this is the one, then I was wavering over to Karl but tonight the boys just stole it. Miles above the rest, so proud to have them flying the flag in Stockholm :D

Really thought Bianca might pull it off but so glad the UK made the brave decision and went with the song that wasn't usual for Eurovision. Bianca was just like UK Molly Sterling. I think with the boys we have a real chance to get the best result since Blue, the songs catch, staging was fine already, good vocals and they're cute. What more could you want?

Having said that, sorry to everyone who was supporting someone else tonight I hope we J&J supporters can show you the right decision was made in a couple of months' time :)

Ok, I've had a moment away, and I was a little bit too harsh possibly. Absolute pile of dreck, yes, but worse than Spain and deserving of the same rating of my Holy Trinity of Loathing (Ireland, Denmark, and Cyprus if you're curious, with Norway joining if they pick Suite 16)? No. A possibly generous 3 points for now.

The most important thing we can take from tonight:

The song is strong!
Great vocals!
The have a great connection!
The song will get a revamp before May!

I have high hopes

(you may know I am not always a fan of the UK song... look at my comments from 2015... I am so happy I can get behind our boys!!)

UK, this is why you can't have nice things. Enjoy the bottom 5!

0 points from me, we'll see if it stays there or goes up to 2 on repeated listening.

I know it's your favourite song and congrats on it winning, but I have a hard time believing this will get a better result than Molly.
