United Kingdom UNITED KINGDOM 2019 - Michael Rice - Bigger Than Us

[MyHeartIsYours]

This is growing on me LOL

 

[Charly]

Just noticed that he is taking part in both Madrid and Moscow Pre Party so I think this is definitely a good way to promote and demostrate the ability which would improve chances of more points

 

[HayashiM]

So there IS a music video in the end :-) And I think it's very well done! One could perhaps argue that it is calculated and cheesy, but it absolutely got me. Well done UK, I guess a spot in my final top 10 is now guaranteed. :-)

 

[Leydan]

It's kind of cheap and cheesy but anyone who expected big budget MV are deluded. For what it is, it's rather cute.

 

[Franzilein]

Michael is a beast. He actually carries the hell out of this song. His unique voice and charisma should easily catapult him out of the bottom.

Also something I need to mention: How adorable is this music video please? Made me connect with the song for the very first time. It's climbing in my ranking and it scares me

 

[VirginiaVision]

I had a dream last night that the UK decided to change their entry for this year's contest. They sent Adele with a song in French

It opened the show and was amazing

So Rylan's going to read our votes this year... guess we will have to wait till 2020 for Kim Woodburn or Gemma Collins then.

 

[Leydan]

Why not Mel. She was great last year. Rylan is already commentating.

 

[PashQueerLife]

They've announced who the juries are for the finals for each country. The UK jury is:

Sophie Ellis-Bextor (Chairperson) Singer, songwriter
Pete Watson - Musical director http://www.sessionmusicians.com/
Jai Ramage - Vocal coach https://twitter.com/JaiRamage
Adele Roberts - DJ BBC Radio 1 https://twitter.com/AdeleRoberts
AJ Bentley - Singer, actor https://twitter.com/ajbentleyuk - He was also one of the winners of the BBC's Let it Shine

 

[Leydan]

When is Sophie going to actually get of her high horse and go to esc? Not saying I desperately want her, but being a panelist in the NF, now a jury member for ESC itself, probably other stuff i'm forgetting. It leans to it, and she mustn't have that big of a problem with it. Duncan James was our spokesperson in 2009 then 2 years later Blue goes to ESC. So there is form.

 

[QwaarJet]

This is actually beginning to grow on me. I catch myself listening to it sometimes. Someone help me...

You definitely need pschychological help ...

 

[MaryAnny]

Average song, but the best commentator (Graham Norton) ever! In recent years I have always been watching the contest on BBC.

 

[Sammy]

This will do much better than many think.

 

[mauve]

This will do much better than many think.

Unfortunately yes. That's what I think also.

 

[SwedishFailurez]

Another Lucie Jones in the running?
I can't see the televoters go for this, but the juries might like this. Let's see tomorrow.

 

[crashworld]

Narh, I still think this will be in the bottom 5-10 unless the staging elevates the song.

 

[AronS]

BIGGER!

Looking forward to the rehearsal today.

 

[Sean]

...so nobody is going to post about this?
