United Kingdom UNITED KINGDOM 2024 - Olly Alexander - Dizzy

[ESC United Mod Team]

I like it but I'm not really sold on it being a winner yet. I think I'd give it a at the moment.

I feel like I might like the live performance more though somehow.

 

[JChan]

I love this and this is exactly the type of song I would listen to outside of eurovision. BUT I can't help but feel that there's something missing... it needs to be faster or have slightly more energy or build a little more.

I still love it though: points!

 

[Ana Raquel]

It is both mid and charming at the same time. You can definitely say it's a Harle production. I really like it

 

[goncalovieira]

The chorus is catchy asf!
I am in love with the melody.

 

[HarryUK]

I’m offended that Spotify thinks I want to listen to Macklemore straight after Dizzy tbh

 

[goncalovieira]

Are you being serious?

Sure. This is the catchiest song so far.
Let's wait for a clever staging and you will see...

I'm not enamored by our entry but I'm glad it is well produced and true to Olly's style. I think we can be proud of it even if personally it doesn't do a huge amount for me. I don't see a win but I think with a good love performance, we can get another top 10

 

[AliceEsc]

I'm feeling the nostalgia. Nice melody and I like the bridge. I can't see it winning tbh.

 

[HarryUK]

It’s definitely far better than the shower of disappointment that was released earlier (now yesterday!)

 

[JenJen94]

I think it's a great bop, I really like it and I'm happy this is our entry! Will it win? I don't know, can see at least a top 10.

But Its a good tune and I think with the correct staging its really gonna pop in Malmo!

I like it. The instrumental and production is fantastic, coming from a music producer like Danny Harle then it should be expected. This is definitely in Ollys style, and I love the 'It's a Sin' vibe it has. I do feel in studio it's somewhat underwhelming but at the same time I also think they'll have some big show to go alongside this at Eurovision - a bit more power wouldn't go a miss. It's no winner, that's for sure but given our history I couldn't possibly be disappointed in this. I don't think i'm going to have this on repeat non stop but I am really happy with this.

 

[HarryUK]

Can I just say I’m fucking in love with the intro. Give me that 80s synth vibe any day. Then when the spoken word comes in, CHRIST I’m in love

 

[JenJen94]

Just realised-the start reminds me so much of Its a sin! Love it!

Petition to change the "beautiful gardens" line to "beautiful gowns" in tribute to the late, great Aretha Franklin.

This instrumental is pretty great and that's an understatement. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't. Musically speaking it's probably the most well produced and unique entry we've had by far.

The issue for me is I'm just not into Olly's vocals. He sounds like a now deceased singer I shan't name squeaking on the track for three minutes. It's not my thing. If someone like MNEK was the vocalist I would have ascended.

With the right artist this would be 12 from me (or close). I can't deny how good the composition is. So moody, dreamy and lush. It's delicious pop and I just really love the melancholy. Less than points for the track alone feels wrong so I'll give that with the right at any moment to change it to a still respectable 7 when it starts to annoy me (to an extent it already does annoy me because I just struggle with the chipmunk voice).


Edit: It's just hit me how hypocritical my strong dislike of Olly's voice is when Benjamin Ingrosso was my number 1 back in 2018, but you've all conveniently forgotten about that little unfortunate moment in my history x

 

[Ali_]

I like it and will enjoy listening to it on Spotify but it doesn't come across as a competitive entry. He's got way better stuff in his back catalogue.
He'll have to put on an impressive performance for this to do well.

Oh, this is a 10. After the disappointment of yesterday´s entries, I feel like I have finally been fed. First by Kaleen and now by Olly. A 10, darling!

I was right to be intrigued. Love it. Proud of our entry this year, and Olly will smash it live.
