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

[Lindon]

No message at all is a good message. It was only the first rehearsal. No reason to worry.

mehh

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

The rehearsal is exactly what I was expecting

[Ana Raquel]

why did they choose that part of the rehearsal to show? it's so forgettable

 

[Gitte]

I actually thought it was good.

Image of beautiful Michael carrying the BBC, the UK and that formula-perfect song to a higher level:

Just very middle of the road as so many other songs this year. Completely uninteresting. It's not bad, but it's not that good either.

 

[Chorizo]

Now I've finally managed to listen to all the songs and to rank them.
A generous 4 points for the UK.

Interesting that the BBC seem to be getting Radio 1 more on board with Eurovision. Could be a good move from the BBC for once.

For the BBC this entire video was super great and well informed - I hope this is a sign of further Radio 1 involvement. It's a shame at the end when Scott Mills arrived and dumbed down the entire thing. Average to good songs with some bad? Is he serious? He's a radio 1 host who literally plays all the biggest hits at the time and mixes with famous singers. He should be able to see the hit potential of some of them songs and not just brush it aside.

I'm kinda disappointed that they're not doing wider panouts every time he sings the word bigger. He says it 34 times in the entire song.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor quit our jury panel last night apparently. Leaving our jury a person down and without a chair person.

Wow, the end of the preview felt really awesome. I think this can be a real dark horse, top 10 and beating Sweden is well within reach!

the performance hasn't been uploaded yet right?

How wonderful is it that our 12 isn't hijacked in this final with no Poland or Lithuania diaspora. Even the Irish or growing Romanian diaspora wont have an entry to vote for. We'll probably have the most true british top 10 televote in years.

I was hoping for the same thing after seeing where the 12 points was given from UK televote since 2016 in the semis and finals. MUHAHAHHA!!! . God knows just how many times they must all vote. It annoyed me. I think our 12 points will go to Australia as they're the next biggest diaspora within the UK who care about Eurovision haha
