United Kingdom UNITED KINGDOM 2016 - Joe & Jake - You're Not Alone

[julien4ESC]

It's the kind of pop that I like ! Wow for the moment this Eurovision is the best one ever all songs are modern and pleasant.

And this is the first time I remember the UK's poll being top heavy

Molly was more top heavy, but she was a fanwank.

Okay exclude 2014 from my statement

That's the thing, if she was getting votes like that, what does that mean for this song? Molly did much worse than expected because her live was fucking shocking. The song wasn't the problem.

Meh....its OK.

For me the stand out moment of the NF was Katrina going all "praise jesus" on the audience.

"LET ME SEE YOH HANDS!"

I just listened to only 1.20 minutes of the song..
That has just raised an issue into my mind: 'How dare British people not voted for Bianca?
Well.. there's nothing wrong with their voices, but the song is so average and so... ordinary.
That's a standstill for UK again, I give it .

Eurovision voting is based on the live performance

 

[realist]

I can actually see it high on ESC stage.. just like 2014..

It's not pessimism, it's people with different views. I don't think it's catchy at all, modern doesn't = good and no way at all is this getting top 10.

You're entitles to your views, but don't dismiss opposing views as pessimism.

Saying it's gonna flop and is destined for the bottom of the scoreboard IS pessimism though :?

As for Joe being a chav what's wrong with that? Like 50% of youngsters from British cities are chavs

If people actually bothered to look him up and watch his performances on The Voice, they'd see he isn't even a chav

 

[Yazy]

This is the first British entry since a long time that I like.

Didn´t watch the show so I can´t judge live performances, but studio version is nice (minor nitpick being that I´m not too fond of those parts where they sing "uh oh oh" or "ah ah ah").

So far, this one is my favorite. For how long? That will depend on whether any other of my favorites will be chosen tomorrow.

 

[Carrie]

Even if he was a chav, what's would be the issue/relevance with that? He's clearly trying to better himself, his social background is irrelevant. xboring

Exactly... having gone to a chav school I can tell people Joe is too nice to be a chav

Summary of tonight:

 

[Kairit]

Oh wow. I love it, I love it, I love it. I gave it an 8, but I love it. The production is actually quite excellent and really enjoyable, there are some memorable melodies in this that I really like, this has energy but also a dreamy quality, they have good stage presence and they're cute as f*ck... although yes, they do really need a bigger stage. This actually made me smile, because this song makes me feel soso good and that's the main point. It reminds me of something though, or even a lot of other songs, but that's not important in this case. Thanks, UK.

I think Molly's song was definitely a major part of her results. THE major part....

 

[Fierro]

Why we not often see good british music from UK? This one is generic, why not somebody like Sam Smith or Adel (of course not personally them)?

xgood

You're not alone... I'll give it a 6 for the studio version... definitely less for the live version...
